Still a Powerful Phone.

If the new LG G5 is way to expensive for you, the previous LG G4 still a great power machine. Bought it as a second unit for my work and I'm using it more than my personal one.  The pictures are AMAZING. My only complaint is tat it uses power to fast to last you an entire day of normal use.  It could be a defective battery but at this point I'm not sure.

Great Phone that has a vibrant display. The larger size display is good but still fits in hand and in pocket. Initially the buttons on the back was weird. Now got used to it. The phone doesn't come with an audio recorder but can download an app. So far the device is able to handle and retain charge for long time. I have been using this phone for the past 4 months. The device is fast for moderate use.

Would have been 5 stars except the battery is not removable and I can see this being a problem later on. That said, it is still a terrific phone for the price. I purchased two from Amazon who had the best price but Target recently had it on sale for less than $60 bucks. Picked up another for my brother. Previous phone was a Samsung Prevail so the Moto G is like DSL vs dial up. While I am not a person who constantly looks at their phone, I am able to do more with the Moto G than before. I especially like the visual voicemail feature and even though it isn't 100% accurate in translation I have not had to listen to them and I can see who called. Battery life is more than sufficient for my usage and on average it lasts me two days. I am not playing any games but I do use the camera, gallery, internet and navigation apps. So far the Moto G has exceeded my expectations.

One of the better designed phones, it was always nice to have and show off. The phone is pretty old now, not even sure why I am reviewing it. Mine was stolen from me so only had it a few weeks. It was pretty advanced for its time with dual cameras and blu-tooth  and a great display. All in all I would buy pantech again, and if this phone was upgraded might consider it because I liked the design so much. A very solid (standard) phone.

Technology is constantly evolving. Every year the next big thing hits shelves. This phone is almost a year but, and the latest models of all the competitors is finally chatching up. Even being last years model, this device is outrageous as far as specs are concerned. At 5.5 inches the screen holds more realestate than anything ive seen. The phone itself isn't massive, but it boasts a ton of hardware and software that are. I made the switch from Samsung and couldn't be happier about it.

This is a very good phone. It may not have all the bells and whistles, but it is very durable and reliable.

This phone is great is you want as much capability as possible crammed into a hand-held device. No, it doesn't have the most simple or flashy user interface, and if you only browse the web and download games, better stick with something simpler. But if you want some power-user features, this fits the bill nicely.

The camera is most impressive. I recently compared it to my Panasonic TS1 camera, which isn't shabby itself, and the N8 got better-looking photos, with better sharpness, contrast and color accuracy, not to mention vastly more detail in low light and no annoying chroma noise. Also love the bright wide-angle lens, and the Xenon flash. I only wish it had better dynamic range in the highlights. Make no mistake - it leaves any other phone camera in the dust.

The OS is packed with features like a file browser, Bluetooth file transfers, photo editor, HD video recording, turn-by-turn navigation, mass storage "drag and drop" support, and more. The interface is intuitive and easy enough to use. I know a lot of people complain how it's not as "slick" and "polished" compared to Apple's, but I personally find Apple's interface disgustingly limiting and restrictive, thus I prefer a more capable OS.

I also love the multi-tasking abilities. I can follow turn-by-turn navigation while listening to music while taking photos at the same time with this phone, and it performs without a hiccup.

The multi-media capabilities are quite nice too. With 16GB internal storage and powerful hardware, I can simply copy movies from my computer to the phone, and it plays them back flawlessly. The music player has an easy to use interface and the sound quality is excellent. It also comes with a good-sounding headset, which can control the player.

It has 3G on every band, which means I can have a fast connection with any GSM carrier.

The keyboard is ok, but I still prefer a hardware keyboard.

While it offers plenty of features, it's missing some abilities compared to my older Nokia E71. It can't create a custom EQ preset, can't edit ID3 tags, can't edit office documents without a paid upgrade (Edit - as of January 2011, a firmware update enabled office document editing), and can't encrypt the memory (Edit - the upgrade to Symbian Belle enabled memory encryption). At least it has a passcode lock, and while locked, you can't access the phone via the USB port, so that should stop all but the most determined hackers and crackers.

Overall, I am quite pleased with the phone. On paper, it may not have the most impressive specs, but in actual use I found it to be a surprisingly capable and powerful device.

I did a lot of research before ordering this phone. The most important things being GSM unlocked (for business travel) and internal storage. It doesn't have the largest touchscreen and it's a little bit dated but the duel core processor and screen resolution make up for that - besides it's gorilla glass.

The only thing disappointing at the moment is Motoblur - what idiot at Motorola thought this was a good idea I don't know. I was forced to sign up for an account and every time I change the sim I had to sign in again - it's really annoying. The only way to remove this God-forsaken blight on an otherwise brilliant piece of hardware is using a custom rom, so I'm waiting to see if Cyanogenmod stabilises enough to give it a try.

So far so good; I have owned the phone for about a month. the last phone I had that was similar started malfunctioning after about 1-2 years and became impossible to use. I'm hoping for longer lasting results with this phone.

I bought it  last year at bestbuy, so far still one of the best phones with best values on the market.

Best phone. Now in 2017 still beats a lot of flagship phones. Front camera just 2MP.... no performance ,other than that ...perfect.

Eventually, my wife will switch to a smart phone but for now, she is still using this.

This phone has served me well for 2+ years and I only recently had to upgrade because of standard wear and tear.

Overall, the return on investment on this phone has been INSANE- for only $100 you are able to get a high-functioning Android phone that performs on par with leading models, even outperforming in terms of battery life.

The battery is by far the stand-out factor for this unit; there are times where I would go three days without charging, and even with regular use, the battery life held up. I believe it could almost last indefinitely if on airplane mode- there have been multiple times where I have had it last 6+ hours on 3% battery charge with airplane mode and battery saver on. Even with the super-powered battery, the unit still charges at a fast rate. The sheer utility of the battery is a testament to the awesome power of this model.

The unit itself is also quite sturdy and has held up to considerable abuse during the time I have used it- it has survived multiple drops and reckless care and does not have so much as a scratch, even without a screen protector. The addition of the included gel case likely facilitated this, but even with it off, the phone is still able to take quite a beating.

As most Android (and most phones in general) go, they will eventually deteriorate and become bloated and slow. This started to happen to me around the 1-year mark where I encountered a bug that prevented me from updating any apps. This led to a slow and compromised phone and was the reason I upgraded. I don't deduct points in my mind against BLU for this, as I believe it is likely the result of the Android OS rather than a programming flaw on their part.

The rear facing cameras, like most pre-2016 phones, leaves a little to be desired, but still serves its purpose. The front facing camera, however, is great and functions well even in low light. I have taken some beautiful photos with this phone even under less than ideal settings.

If you are on a budget and want all the functionality and service of a high-end phone without sacrificing any features, this is the phone for you. BLU has done a stellar job on the production quality of this unit and I would pay the $100 for it again in a heartbeat.

This is a great phone. It has everything it is advertised with. I wasn't expecting to get the free headset, so that is a bonus. The only really disappointing thing about this phone is that despite having 2 gigs of RAM, you get to use less than 1 of them because the OS uses so much of it already. Don't get me wrong, the phone is still fast, and it hardly stutters on 3D games, but I figured I could get tons of multitasking out of it. Other wise, it lived up to all expectations, even the only having 9 gigs to work with on the phone itself. A big plus that I wasn't aware of though, is that you can move some select apps to your SD card. That makes this phones memory go a whole lot farther and the fact that it has an SD slot made it a pick over the LG G2. It still feels rather fragile and I am kind of worried about breaking it because my case has not arrived yet. But overall, I love the phone.

Powerful performance, beautiful hardware, and the software experience make this the best phone out there. The Ultrapixel camera isn't some marketing gimmick; the HTC One takes really nice pictures (just don't expect to zoom in). After a few weeks with beats audio and Boomsound, I can't imagine buying a phone without them. Zoes are cool, but I don't find myself using them much. Blinkfeed isn't a full rss reader, and doesn't support G+, so I find it lacking. The phone is very easy to root. Decent battery, gets through the day (but not always the night). Pretty durable.

Sense 5 still isn't as pretty as stock android, but it's leaps and bounds ahead of Sense 4 or even the latest touchwiz.

I got this phone direct from Google when it first came out. The phone features are excellent. The screen is bright and big, maybe too big for stuffing in your front pocket. The processors are powerful and I have never noticed any lag when switching from app to app. Android 4.3.3 is very powerful and there are many apps available on the Google Play Store.

Now for my complaints: As I mentioned earlier, the phone is big and is not easily stuffed in small pockets. There is no physical button on the front of the phone, so when you are using your phone with encrypted storage, like I am for work, the only way to wake the phone up is to press the button on the upper right side. The volume button doesn't bring up the lock screen nor does tapping on the glass. And finally, there's the battery life. This phone is so powerful that if you turn on all the features, like Google+, NFC, Bluetooth, wifi, GPS, etc... you will have a hard time making it through the entire day without needing to charge the battery. I have turned many of those features off and now the phone can usually survive overnight before needing a recharge.

I recently used a Samsung Galaxy Light, which has a much smaller form factor, and I am considering whether or not I really need the power of the Nexus 5...

Update Aug 15 2014 - I still have the phone and the battery rarely survives more than 12 hours on a charge, and that's not watching videos or anything super intensive, just checking most text-based emails throughout the day.  I've had more issues with apps crashing over the last month or so and I'm not sure if it is the updates to the OS or to the apps that is causing the problems.

I've owned my Tundra for almost 3 years, and plan on keeping it as long as possible.  No, it's not razor-thin, but with regular use I've gone as long as a week between chargings, while my work-issued Samsung Galaxy barely lasts a day with every configurable feature turned off.  Additionally, with the external antenna I still get 2-3 bars in a datacenter filled with servers and other interference, in a geographic area where I hear constant complaints regarding reception OUTSIDE the building.

The call / reception quality is amazing, as is the speakerphone function.  I have a pop-out cup holder in my dashboard (German's are not big on their venti grande lattes while driving) which serves as a dock for the phone if I need to talk while driving.  On AT&T's network it has a push-to-talk feature, but I have so many unused minutes I think it's stupid to pay extra for that.

I purchased the phone when I was a logistics manager in a warehouse, and it has been been dropped on every surface imaginable, without a scratch.  The buttons are large enough that someone with big hands (like myself) or someone wearing gloves can still make a call or even send a text message.  My two children (as of this review, ages 1 and 3) have gotten hold of the phone numerous times, and even used it to teeth, and it still looks / works like it's brand new.

Yes, it only has a 2mp camera, but I own more photographic equipment than I can keep track of, and pocket-sized digital 'daily-shooters' start at a such low price for still-decent quality that there should be no reason to take pictures with a phone.  Ever.  I can't make a phone call with your Olympus E-3, and you shouldn't take a picture with your phone.  I hope when this phone goes that AT&T still offers something like it.  This is my 3rd Moto clamshell phone (what can I say, I'm a purist!)

Update:  Going on almost six years and I wouldn't change a word on the original review.  I even still get almost a week of standby time on the original battery!
