Poor signal reception compared to other phones
Using my existing SIM in this new phone but signal strength very poor compared with my old Motorola phone, really disappointed as I thought a new phone would be better. A lesson to be learnt, if your existing phone works don't change it. Data transfer is especially poor.

Affordable
The phone is good value for money,has a great battery life,FM radio and recording capabilities. Comes with headphone jack)aux jack. The old school number pad mode is an eye saver. Organising apps and spilt screen gives you a pc like feeling

Moto g53, 35 - 44
Nice phone.
I bought this phone to replace my old Motorola which I dropped and broke the screen. The thing I was dreading was the hassle of setting up a new one but I was pleasantly surprised how easy it was! It took no time at all. This phone is dead easy to use and the battery life is good. Camera is excellent. I don't do gaming or anything like that. If you want an up to date mobile phone that does everything it says on the tin without breaking the bank then look no further. I don't think you will be disappointed.

Good Experience
A simple efficient purchase, good value.

Excellent phone
I bought this for my son who is 11 and he absolutely loves it. You cannot go wrong with a Motorola cheap smartphone but the only thing is they don't last very long, we have been through quite a lot of them in the last few years.

Great phone, but slightly larger than I'd like
This is a great phone and great features from Motorola. I flick between motorola and Samsung's, but I must say Motorola's are probably my favourite. This one is the best so far and only downside is it's a bit big, difficult to fit in pockets etc. I guess that's the price you pay for larger screen. Packed full of useful features and one of the latest Android versions. It's very intuitive and easy to use.

Hi Donald99

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.
