Great phone for the price I'm happy with it.
Jonlee, 55 - 64
Easy to use and reliable
Quick and easy to set up and transfer apps from my old phone. The battery life is good - a few days between charges with moderate use. Quite large - not always easy to hold/fit in pockets.
H97, 45 - 54
Good phone if expectations are reasonable.
The phone is as expected, however the battery life appears to be limited. Just removing unwanted apps and updating the system took 20% battery life Phone feels a little sluggish but that is due to comparing it against a more expensive device, it's still very usable and the camera has features which are missing from higher end phones

Disappointing
Had the phone just under 6 months and the battery now takes ages (around 4 hours) to charge having previously charged very quickly. Everything else is fine but now I wish I'd bought a different phone
City Boy, 65 or over
Great product. Incredibly easy migration
Great product. Incredibly easy migration . After charging and starting up the new Motorola fone it asked me to scan a qr code on the new fone using the old fone. That's it! Everything was transferred. Awesome.

Motorola G56
Performance excellent , battery last a little less than what I expected but longer than others mobile .Durable and fast
Abby, 45 - 54
Its a smart phone
So I bought another Moto and this one is as average as the last 3 I have owned but they work and they last a good couple of years. I see it this way for £150 if it lasts 2 years its 20p a day. The new android is not for me it needs to many tweaks to make it less erm cute. The camera is good, the battery is great and the display is fine too. Its a smart phone, a tool to do stuff and it does it well it enough - good value for money and enough to pay
