Very capable android phone at a competitive price
Loads of internal storage space with capability to add micro SD card for more storage. The dual SIM capability is for one physical sim card and one e-sim. Have always had Samsung phones so navigating the Motorola is a little bit different, but it doesn't take too long to adapt.

Great phone with good features for the price.
This is the second G56 phone, as I've now bought one for my husband from Argos, as I was impressed with my one purchased two weeks earlier. The phone has a good battery and charges within 45 mins with my current charger. Camera, overall performance and the clear display are adequate for our use and very good for a phone at this price. Very pleased and would recommend the Motorola G56

Very affordable and easy to operate
I bought this product about a month ago its performance is very efficient and its display is very clear.
Soft touch
Battery life
The battery life is below reliable. I would not have purchased It if I had read reviews about the battery. It can be be improved upon and it should. The camera quality is poor. Really poor. In my experience, the quality of the scanned items is so terrible just as the pictures.

Please see the link below with the chargers that are available on the website. The phone requires a USB A to C adaptor that is 5W minimum and 30W maximum.
As this is a personal choice, we would not be able to signpost a particular charger.

Motorola state on their website that the Moto G56 5G has a microSD card slot.
Motorola state on their website that the Moto G56 5G has a microSD card slot.
Motorola UK lists Motorola g56 5G with a single slot with space for both a SIM card and a micro SD installed at the same time in addition to a built in eSIM.
The maximum capacity of the micro SD card is 2TB.
The Argos answer is incorrect it deff has a micro SD card slot in the SIM tray. I own one.
