Motorola 01163NARTL Moto E Plus (4th Generation) - 16 GB - Unlocked (AT&T/Sprint/T-Mobile/Verizon) - Iron Gray

When I bought the Moto E Plus for just over $100 (non-ad version - Black Friday deal), I thought the quality would be as bad as the name. How much can you really expect out of a $100 phone? Well, it turns out, enough to put the other phone makers to shame. SCREEN: This thing is packing a HD LCD screen. That’s how they advertise it too. HD. That tricks most people. HD is 720p. Now, to be honest, most people can’t tell the difference between 720p, 1080p, 2k, and 4k on a phone, unless they put it less than an inch from their eyeball. 720p does a decent enough job. It’s nothing to write home about, but the screen is good for what it is. It’s at least a big screen which somehow makes it seem better. CAMERA: What can I say about the camera in this thing? It’s a camera. They advertise the MPs to distract from the other specs. MPs don’t mean a whole lot when it comes to quality. Other factors have a much bigger impact. However, this phone takes okay photos. It gets the job done. It’s not fast, it’s not high quality, but it takes photos as good as some cheap point and shoot cameras. HARDWARE: Well, it functions. It has enough to run Android OS. I mean it’s only packing a 400 series chip in it. It has 2GB of RAM which is going to gag if you are a power user. 2GB will run most Android functions, but you need 3GB to really be safe. If you run any games on this phone, you’ll notice that they do not look good and they can lag. This is not a phone for gaming. In terms of storage, you are looking at 16GB. That’s not good. If you take photos a lot, you’re going to hit that fast. On the plus side, you do have a micro sd slot. That’s something some of the higher end phones ignore. I always see a micro sd slot as a valuable tool, even more so if you swap phones on a regular basis. SOFTWARE: You get one of the BEST Android skins on this phone. Lenovo does it right. Well not really. Motorola did it right and Lenovo is just sticking with it. This phone is running pretty close to stock android with a few tweaks that only add functionality. I cannot complain about the software on this phone. It’s a big plus and more Android makers should follow Moto’s example here. CONNECTIVITY: I normally don’t put this in my reviews, but here it’s worth mentioning. This phone will run on ANY carrier. This phone is compatible with the big four in the US. Normally unlocked phones only target the GSM market. This one does Sprint and Verizon too. On the down side, this phone does not do wifi-calling. That’s bad news for people on Sprint. Anyone on T-Mobile doesn’t care about wifi-calling anymore. Ever since they released the wifi-calling app (DIGITS), it doesn’t really matter if a phone can do wifi calling. BUILD: When you first hold this phone, you will be blow away. Not because it feels like a flagship or high quality, because it doesn’t feel like a $100 phone. The metal build and solid feel seem like they belong to a phone that cost three or four times what this phone does. When you see the finger print reader, you wonder what it’s doing on a $100 phone. How can they afford that? The build is a big selling point here. BATTERY: And now for the biggest benefit. 5000mah. How on Earth can they afford to put a 5000mah battery in this thing? This battery is 35% bigger than most of the flagships out there and there is more to it than that. Keep in mind that this phone has half the RAM and half the processor of the flagships. Here that translates into a MUCH more efficient phone, when it comes to the task you do the most. Forget SOT time. That’s a useless statistic that can be manipulated to get a good number. In real usage, this thing gets a solid two days between charges. If you are a light user (just text, calls, emails and so on), you can get three days on a charge. This phone is like the Energizer Bunny. It just keeps going. OVERALL – This phone is a HUGE value for the money. If you need a phone that works, don’t care about bells and whistles, and don’t want to pay through the nose, this is the phone for you.

Hey we like these phones a lot. Wife and I had OnePlus One phones for the past 3 years - really great phones and still are. But, unfortunately they are unlocked GSM phones - not unlocked Multimode phones. Had AT&T not changed their signal power such that we could not get voice service inside out house, we would still be using our OnePlus Ones. Verizon is the premier service where I live but our OnePlus Ones don't work with Verizon - Verizon is CDMA based, our phones GSM. So we decided if we have to purchase new phones in order to get Verizon service, we want them to work on any carrier and our main criteria was Unlocked, and Multimode. These Moto E Plus are Multimode and will work with Verizon, AT&T, T-mobile, and Sprint. In addition we don't have to fool with going to a phone store to get signed up - our Unlocked phones allow us to use more flexible companies for service. We are using Red Pocket MVNO for a better Verizon plan that suits our needs. Meeting our needs above, this phone also has a very robust Battery, Fingerprint reader that is nice to have, and the pre-installed Apps are nice and not overly done like I hear about other phones. In addition, you can easily open the back cover - it does not take special skills to break the seal like other phones. This could be important just in case the battery ever gives trouble as there is a video on YouTube showing how to replace the battery with reasonable skill level. Oh yes, removing the back cover allows you to install the SIM card for your carrier, and also install an SDCard. Just installed a 64GB Class 10 Samsung SDCard from Amazon and now have even more storage.

I resisted getting a smart phone until now. I got by with a solid, military grade flip phone, and an iPod touch for years. I was almost always by wifi, so my iPod Touch kept me connected and organized, and my phone took care of calls and texts. I was happy with the combo. Don't get the wrong picture; I enjoy technology. I'm typing this review on a custom built gaming PC. I just don't have a love affair with my phone like so many do today. I've been through two iPod Touch devices, and then Apple discontinued it. My last iPod battery reached its end, so I was out of options. It was time to get a smart phone. Ultimately, it came down to this: Apple products are over priced, and built to fail via OS upgrades or the battery. I couldn't replace the battery myself, and even if I did, the constant OS upgrades would render the iPod Touch useless. iPhones are ridiculously expensive, and the deals that they have with major cell phone carriers aren't deals. They just roll the price of the phone into monthly payments, and/or lock you in. No, thanks. So, Android is the way to go for me, and this Moto E Plus has more than everything that I need. I really like the Google Assistant, it's way better than Siri, and at least as good as Alexa. I especially like that I can use this phone with either Sprint or Verizon by just switching the low cost sim card. More options are better. Also, it looks like the battery is easily replaceable; that's a huge plus when you know that all batteries eventually die. Why would I pay big bucks for the battery limitations of an iPhone? The voice quality is good. The camera and screen are good. The touch screen is responsive. I even saw a video on YouTube where it was submerged in water for a minute, and it survived (don't try this at home). This, and a durable case, is all I need. This will get 4 stars from me for now. If it lasts two years, it will get 5 stars. I really hope it goes the distance. The only downside to this phone is that you won't be able to impress shallow people with your needlessly expensive iPhone. Trust me, you'll live.

When I moved to the US this January, I did not know that my phone would be incompatible with US carrier bands. I had to look for a phone that offers a lot of battery life, has a fast enough processor so that it does not hand and has sufficient memory and a decent camera. Moto E Plus offered exactly that. I wanted 64 GB but my budget was limited. I chose an unlocked phone (since I might switch my network in future) and put an AT&T Sim, which is working as expected. The battery almost never dies, I charge my phone like once in 5 days or so. My phone does hang, but very rarely, probably twice since I bought. Decent camera, both front and back, but frankly, I don't care much about it. I had to download File Manager, as it was not an inbuilt feature. If you are an android user, the experience would be seamless. A perfect budget phone. CAUTION: It is a large phone, and if you add any protective casing, it will be heavy.

I bought two for a couple of teenagers. They were both replacing Samsung Note 3's. Both of them love this phone. They've had them for close to a month now and there are no negatives to report. The screen is bright and easy to read. It might only be 720p, but given the size it seemingly has not adverse impact. The battery life is phenomenal. I spoke to my 14 year old about this yesterday and he indicated that a full day of being a teenager with a smart phone typically leaves him with 75% battery remaining at the end of the day. The phone is quick and responsive (unless you install a bunch of junk). Does what it is supposed to do well. Plays games well too. I bought a pair of the 16gb version without any ads.

I bought this phone a few months ago for my mom who lives pretty far away. She then keep complaining about various things about it and numerous calls to the ISP were made with no solution. I secretly thought it was because she was poor with technology. Finally I told her I will switch with her ( we're on the same plan). Now I see that is phone is seriously defective. Although it was supposed to be compatible with my ISP, it is just terrible.... Data rarely works, SMS and MMS don't go through or download, calls fail constantly, and I have yet to charge it to a 100% despite charging constantly. I'm not sure about the entire brand, but this phone in particular is awful! Too late to return, but still wanted to share my frustration and waste of resources.

I got this phone to replace an inexpensive phone that I had purchased to fill a quick and urgent need. I wish I had found this phone first. The phone is light, reliable, very functional, and extremely easy to operate. I Love this phone. It is on par with phones at a much higher price point. It is fast,responsive, takes great photos and the battery life is outstanding. My phone is my lifeline both for work and for personal use and at 16 gigs it meets all of my needs more than sufficiently. Its not "Hello Moto", it should be Hell Yea Moto!!!

After my iPhone5 was on the fritz, I decided I needed a new phone. My budget was ~$200 my wants were: good camera, good battery life, expandable SD card (didn't care about graphics for video playing.) The camera is meh. My husband has an older Moto phone and it actually has a better camera. I have not been impressed with this camera in terms of clarity, color balance (so many blue undertones compared to other phones). Battery life is awesome! I can go 2-3 days without charging my phone. This is a new found freedom compared to my iphone that died by 3pm every day (and randomly shut down!) Love that it has an expandable SD card, as storage space was an additional reason I moved away from my iphone. What really bursts my bubble is the slowness of the phone moving from app to app. I am not a gamer; I am a facebook, reddit, maybe a candy crush.... but no actual gaming and yet it's so slow. Trying to open google maps? Takes more time than you would expect. I've thought about purchasing a different phone because of how annoying this is (in conjunction with camera quality). ' Overall, I'll live with the phone (and maybe replace it) but would not recommend it to another person.

Es el moto e4 plus versión USA, es mejor el procesador y el precio, con un snanp dragon que hace durar la batería como debe de ser sus 5000 mAh. La cámara graba a 1080p, interfaz pura en Android, llevo usandolo unas 5 hrs con wifi ubicación instalando apps probando el equipo y sólo he consumido 13 % de batería."Impresionante"
