Moto G fast | 2020 | Unlocked | Made for US by Motorola | 3/32GB | 16MP Camera | White

Its fine. From the perspective of how actually amazing any smartphone is considering technology only a few decades ago this thing is fine. Its totally fine. Relative to other phones this thing isnt very good. Its show, buggy, unresponsive. It has a mediocre camera. It doesnt have a home button, physical or capacitive, but relies on a cumbersome gesture system which partially works. Sometimes you want to go to your home screen but it cycles through your apps or activates the Google assistant. Its a good idea but it doesnt work right. The biggest problem and a real deal breaker is that its poorly optimized - I cant get many apps to work properly. Audible is completely broken. Many games dont work at all. Some basic shopping apps dont work. Ive had knockoff mobile devices that didnt give me trouble like this. I cant even use the YouTube app. I have to use a low end browser and view videos on the mobile site... Otherwise the device works fine for basic uses and since I really just use it for work its adequate. Good battery life, too. The device looks nice and feels high end. Its not and Id probably something else in the future. TL;DR: its an adequate device for basic purposes. Has major optimization issues which make a lot of apps not work. Looks pretty. Good battery life.

Slow and freezing often

I go through a lot of phones so I didnt want to spend a lot of money on my next one so I ended up with this. Ended up being a lot better than expected it runs any of my day to day apps I use. The only thing I could see needing improvement is the camera but can I even complain for $150? No, with options like this there is no need to spend $1000 on a phone honestly very impressed with it. Its not blazing fast but with that comes battery life that will last me multiple days with heavy use. Great buy wont regret it

I usually LOVE the Moto series, but this one was very disappointing. My phone started shutting off on its own, freezing, glitching, lagging, etc etc after less than a year of usage. I am not a person to have more apps than I need, so the space was not an issue. I am just very sad about this purchase, as I had high hopes for a phone I use for simple/basic tasks. I am pushing through it, but still wish I had replaced it when I had the chance.

Please Be Aware! This phone was delivered in a Empty Amazon Bag, there was No Package protection what so ever inside the Amazon bag, They usually place Bubble wrap stuff around your product, Or little bags filled with air. But this was delivered with Nothing at all except the phone in its box which by the way was Bouncing around all over in the box... the phone was not secured properly inside the phone box. I just wanted to let anybody know that this may ne how your package will be delivered with your phone inside, So I would highly Advise you or somebody else be home when this package is delivered. Because I have had packages Thrown over an unlocked gate simply because the delivery driver was too lazy to open the gate or he or she was having a bad day. The phone it self is working so far, and for the price this phone seems to be worth the money so far. This phone is for my 9 yr old son, and my 12 year old son also has one as well.

I am a mobile apps developer. I purchased this phone with no intention whatsoever to use it as my daily phone, put to debug Android applications. For that purpose, it works great. But as I got used to the phone, I found myself liking it more and more, to the point where I ultimately removed my SIM card from my iPhone 7 (AT&T) and am now using the Moto G Fast as my primary device. Compared to my aging iPhone 7, the battery life is great. I had almost forgotten that a smartphone could actually last the entire day without a recharge. The screen is also phenomenal at the price point. Granted, it does not get quite as bright as my iPhone 7 does (that phone actually hurts my eyes if I turn the brightness all the way up), but beyond that its a great screen and the phone bezels basically do not exist. Performance is great. I have noticed no slowdowns whatsoever, and I would rate it as being at least on-par with the iPhone 7. Now, the iPhone 7 is an older phone so that might not be saying a lot, but to me that phone is snappy as well. I am not doing any gaming or heavy tasks with these devices, so neither phone has slowdowns in my everyday usage. I said I do not do much phone gaming, but I did test it out on a couple of games. I installed Minecraft, which runs great on the phone. The only issue I had is that i find the larger screen size uncomfortable to hold while playing a game in landscape mode such as Minecraft. Maybe uncomfortable is not the correct word, but there are instances where I have to let go of the phone with my right hand to tap on something towards the left side of the screen. Maybe its just the way I hold it though, again I am not really a gamer. I also tested streaming my sons Xbox One to the phone using the Xbox app and a bluetooth controller, and it worked without issue. Camera quality is hit or miss, possibly the only major con of the phone. If camera is your #1 concern then look elsewhere, of course if that is the case you probably are not shopping in this price range anyway. In well-lit conditions, the camera quality is about on par with my iPhone 7. In poor lighting though, pictures are not that great. It can theoretically record 4k video, but I honestly did not think that the 4k videos looked any better than the 1080p videos, so I kept the setting on 1080p. Built in storage is a weak 32mb, but unlike many high end models out there, you can add a Micro SD card, making the low storage basically a non-issue. I put in an old 64gb card I had lying around, and you can have the phone format your card to use it as additional internal storage. The phone charges via USB Type C, and charging seems fast enough, although Ive really only had to charge it a few times in the week and a half Ive had it, and Ive done at it night time so the charge time was largely unnoticed and irrelevant. The phone also includes the illusive headphone jack, which is always welcome these days. There is almost no bloatware included with this device, just a couple of Motorola apps. It is mostly stock Android with minor Motorola customizations. I installed an AT&T SIM card and I am getting good reception and good data speeds. WiFi connectivity is also good. I have not tested out hotspot tethering yet. All in all, I am blown away by how much phone you can get now days at this price point. I was planning on upgrading to an iPhone 12, but I think I am going to stick with this cheap Motorola for the time being. For the price of a new iPhone, I could just get a brand new Motorola every single year for the next six years, at which point the iPhone would be long past due for a replacement anyway. If you are looking for a good budget phone, or even just a good phone period, I would save your money and not hesitate to get this thing. I dont see any reason whatsoever to shell out upwards to a thousand dollars (and even more now days) on a flagship phone, when a sub-200 phone works perfectly fine.

This phone has really nice optics whether using the camera, browsing internet, or just texting. Large screen. It truly is very snappy-fast. Good product.

Its a shame that Motorola refuses to let you upgrade to Android 11 like my original Moto G Fast phone. They fail to mention that they have changed the original specs of the original phone just to try and get you to buy another phone that has the batteries soldered in. Is this Fraud ?? This is my 5th Motorola phone, Im thinking of switching to Samsung because of Moto being such jerks !

The Moto G Fast seems to be a great phone so far. I have used it two days and I still have 40 percent on the Battery. It has good sound and visibility. The cameras are fine for me, way more than I am used to. It has a bigger screen than I am used to but the phone pockets well with a thin phone cover. It is as fast as my older android 8 phone that I wont name that when new was between 600 to 800 dollars. I was concerned it may not be as fast as my wifes larger Moto G Power with 1080 screen and 4GB of ram but I set hers up and I cant see much difference in speed or the screen for what I use a phone for. Maybe I would if I gamed on it or watched lots of hd movies but that is not what a phone is for in my opinion. For the sale price here on amazon for this 2020 phone with android 10 I couldnt pass it up and so far I am glad I didnt. This Motorola G fast worked great in transferring my contacts and files from my old phone and after loading my ATT sim card and micro SD card with my music on it all worked well. Motorola phones do operate a little different than the other android phones in some areas but it isnt much of a learning curve. I think for the money, if they last as described, they will be hard to beat and maybe they will force some of the other ridiculously priced phones to come back down to earth. Hope this helps. 12/12/2022 Update: I am still very happy with this phone, I have to charge it about every 4th or 5th day but I am not on my phone 24/7 like some folks. It has not missed a beat and I can not see buying another one unless this one breaks. I dont know why Motorola stopped building this one, maybe it was too good, lol. Check the used market and you dont find many of these for sale, I suspect it is because they are too good to get rid of. They have held their value better than most. Just my humble opinion.

I like the phone. Had a Moto G5 previously. Just dont like the swiping to go back to the previous page in a browser. No back arrow, just swipe. So, when Im on Instagram or another site that you swipe to advance - my finger position is just a bit to close to the edge of the screen and it goes backwards. Ive had the phone for over 2 months and it still happens from time to time.
