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

For the price, the phone is more than a solid purchase. Fingerprint reader works great, screen is nice and large and the camera is a B- compared to my old iPhone 6 (have to hold the phone a bit more steady). The battery life is about 5+ hours of screen time for me, varies if youre using location services etc. Even if this phone only gets me a year its right there with apples phones for a fraction of the cost.

I purchased this phone in November 2020 and writing the review on 12/23/2022. I use Verizon on this phone but the connectivity has been very poor. Even inside a supermarket few feet away from the entrance it looses connectivity. Another problem is the screen freezes very frequently now may be due to using the finger print reader. The reason is my wifes phone doesnt experience the screen freezing because she uses pattern lock instead of finger print reader. Even though its a good looking phone with a very affordable price tag, it comes with its share of problem.

I love this phone. Its has a great battery, crystal clear screen and great price!

Pleasantly surprised by the overall utility of this phone. The compromises Moto made to deliver this price point are not very noticeable. The screen is nice and sharp, memory is sufficient for most apps and games, cameras are good, processor is speedy, no excessive bloatware taking up memory, etc. make the Moto G Fast a capable phone. The only real drawbacks are the mono speaker, and the position of the on/off switch(which naturally fits under one of my fingers), neither of which is a deal breaker. If youre looking for an affordable, all-around phone this is it! And it works perfectly with Mint mobile.

This phone was a savior when my Samsung decided to brick on me out of nowhere. It is a good options for Verizon carrier, given there arent a whole lot of cheap unlocked options. I was also pleased that amazon shipped it overnight. The phone can overall use a bigger internal storage given the fact that android OS has become so bulky. I also missed some level of water resistance given that the phone is sealed. I loved the fact that it had a fingerprint sensor in the back (convenient the way I hold the phone) and came with a headphone jack. All in all it is a good budget phone.

Over the past 6 months, Ive gone through various phones under $300 in search for the one I really enjoy using. My most recent long-term phone was a Pixel XL. The one before this one was a Cubot X19. And Ive had a Galaxy S7. This one, by far, is faster. Im experiencing no lag despite having 72 apps installed so far. The only complaint is the quality of the macro photos, but sometimes that can actually improve with a different camera app so Ill try that. The sound quality is great, screen is friendly on the eyes, the volume turns up high enough, the backlight can be dimmed pretty nicely for nighttime viewing, apps load quickly, and overall it feels high quality in your hands. I think Ill keep this one for a long time!

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.

Ive had it for almost 2 years now and I havent had any problems. Its great for what it is. Im not making movies or playing CoD on it. I use it to surf the web, take pictures of my kid and my cat, text people, google stuff, watch videos, just regular stuff. Ive had Samsung Galaxy phones in the past and I find this to be comparable, with the exception of photo quality. The camera is okay but youre not gonna become the next Ansel Adams with it or anything. If youre realistic with your expectations you wont be disappointed. I also wanted to add that I use it with Mint Mobile with no problems there either.

This phone is well worth the MSRP let alone if its on sale or $150 then its a steal. It has a nicer Snapdragon 600 series processor and 3gb of ram. It is not slow at all. Screen is decent, lets you adjust color, blue light filtering option and dark mode option because it is running Android 10 out of the box. It has usb-c charging which is usually hard to find on cheaper devices so thats good. Overall amazing phone for the price.
