Great but aweful

Posted: Feb 01, 2020, 4:46 AM

Phone owned for more than a year

When I first bought it I was excited that it came with almost everything enabled an no bloatware. The extra battery and external camera attached to the mobile are great. I also had the speakers, so basically I used all hardware attachments and they are rock. The efficiency is very good too, with the finger print scanner in front, just where you expect it. First upgrade, and the wifi chip stopped working! Took it back to support for three months to replace it. A while back the battery started acting funny, I get unusual readings, up and down. I was looking for a new battery but the only motorola shop say they don't have it. And now, tethering stopped working. I only had it for three years! I am not going to buy another one, because I simply lost trust. Also: a downside, it does not have a led light indicator. Hand gestures are so handy I am never gonna get over the break up :(

Great device, with a catch

Phone owned for more than a year

Definitely a great phone but the battery sucks, I have replaced the battery twice within two years and still have major issues with it. Almost everyone with this device as their main device has had to get their battery replaced in less than a year after purchase.
