Great for a budget device, solid!
Bought this phone just recently. It does very, very well in many aspects for a budget phone including day to day performance like social media. The camera quality is decent for the price point but of course there is much better camera quality available on a phone if you're willing to spend that extra buck. The display is also beautiful even for an IPS and non OLED display. Colours are vibrant. The battery life also has proven to be great so far for my personal use.

Great mobile phone and doesn't break the bank!
I had to upgrade as my previous phone stopped ringing for some reason, mind you I think I had it a good 6 years. This phone is an upgrade to my last Motorola G. Layout is the same takes good photos, can hear clearly when talking on the phone all in all great. Does everything I need it to do. I just wish I could figure out how to make the type darker, like here on this page it's light and not great but on my phone it's fine.

After five years my Samsung Galaxy S21 finally gave up. Not wanting to splash out on a premium flagship, I decided to take a chance on this phone — and I'm so glad I did! The performance has genuinely impressed me. Switching between apps is smooth with zero lag to speak of. The camera has had great results, and battery life has been equally impressive. For the price, this phone is an outstanding deal. I'd wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for solid performance without breaking the bank.

Good
I'm happy with it but not sure if it's the phone or app that keeps stopping working
I think I like it, 55 - 64
Value for money
Very happy with this product.

Excellent choice
This is my third Motorola phone very reliable, my only reason to change is that the Apps are updating and require a phone with a higher version of Android

G13 is 400 nits max screen brightness, G56 is 1000 nits so is much better in sunlight but not as good as the most expensive phones like the latest Samsung s26 and iphone 17 which peak at 2600 and 3000 nits respectively.
