Phone owned for less than 3 months

Strong build quality, however it looks and feels a bit cheap.
Camera is more than adequat for social media... Single LED flash/flashlight is much brighter than expected.
Lags a bit, but not too serious.
I never get a full day of battery.
IPhone 5 is more comfortable to use and handle with one hand.
Screen looks very good.

Impressed with the Droid Mini

Posted: Jan 12, 2016, 9:56 PM

Phone owned for less than a month

Perhaps the Mini can't be classified as a great phone, but it's certainly a perfectly good phone. Call quality is far superior to my very old & tired Droid 4 - which lasted me nearly 5 years. The Mini shares many of the same hardware specs as its larger siblings, the Droid Ultra and the Droid Maxx - only at smaller dimensions. This appealed to me, as I personally have no interest in carrying a pocket tablet. Battery life has been a point of contention in numerous reviews, but I'm a light user (facebook, weather apps, occasional internet searches, a few pics here & there) so the 2,000 mAh battery is more than sufficient to get me through the day. The 10 megapixel camera is good, but there aren't many options in the stock software. There are plenty of apps out there to resolve that problem. All in all, I'm very happy with my Motorola Droid Mini.

Great phone!

Phone owned for more than a year

This phone has been pretty rock solid. The only issue I have is that whenever I try to initiate a phone call while using bluetooth in the car, the person on the other end can't hear me. This hasn't been resolved yet although I haven't tried wiping my phone. Still love it though!
