Motorola Moto (g13, 6.5 Inch 90 Hz HD+ Display, 50 MP Quad Pixel Camera, Dolby Atmos Stereo Speakers, 5000 mAh Battery, TurboPower Charging, 4/128 GB, Dual SIM), Lavender Blue

Great phone for the price. Bought it just over a year ago as my everyday phone and it does all the things you expect of a smartphone. Currently using it a lot for ChatGPT which is fast on the phone while ridiculously slow on Windows. The camera isn't up to iPhone standards but is adequate for everyday snaps. The display is large and clear. The battery life, as advertised, is extremely good. I have no complaints about this phone at all.

This g13 is a great little phone for sure at the offer price under £90.I just changed the lock and home screen savers from the great built in selection choice and now it looks like a very expensive phone with the great vibrant colour screen once I had set the nice neutral warm colour tone that I liked.I bought it just mainly as an internet hotspot home phone and this has shown me that I get about 20mb/s speed though it does vary quite a lot with it's 4g but my g73 seems to show 40mb/s when it is set on 4g but maybe it's actually working on 5g as I only get about 50mb/s set on 5g.So if I need extra hotspot speed then I will have to use the g73 set to 5g otherwise this g13 seems to do the job just fine. I'm using it to post this now without any issue. The PC just auto connects to it once I set that up.The G13 also automatically disables the hotspot after I switch off my pc and to wake the phone to switch the Hot Spot back on I only need to lift the phone and the movement activates the lock screen and I can then swipe down to get to the hot spot button without even unlocking the phone so it's all pretty well automated though maybe I should be looking at voice activating the hotspot perhaps to be even lazier. or I can jut set it t be left on until I manually switch it or the phone off.The g13 is maybe better in some ways as the camera for video seems to work better having a better zoom reach than the g73 and they both seem too have good editing capabilities built in like zoom crop on videos etc.They are both fine and on a budget the g13 is the easy pic but if you don't mind spending more then the g73 is better spec'd and I like that both these phones came with the rubber back case which they seem to have cut from the newer models.I'm still actually in the process of getting to know both G13 and G73 as I haven't actually used a mobile much for a long time and my old phone had all the basics but is now not up to speed though still fine as a basic phone and camera but obviously there is a lot more to these newer models. I studied electronic systems 30 years ago but I still find it amazing how the general public get to grips with all of this tech stuff as it is fairly complicated, well definitely different from 30 years ago when the first mobile phones were just appearing.

No issues so far, I am enjoying this product. Bought it in January 2025, and this is June, and I do not have any complaints so far.

A 12th birthday present for our daughter - and she is chuffed. You certainly get a lot of mobile for less than £100!The display is particularly good for the price and the mobile copes well with most common or garden Apps. I did add a 128gb SD card to ensure there's plenty of memory.Setup was straightforward and thankfully there is little bloatware (which we eliminated - see NOTE below). WiFi works fine and we have made a number of telephone calls and sent texts without issue. Importantly for our daughter, WhatsApp works fine!Unusually these days, the device has a standard jack socket for some earphones. Excellent 👍Battery life is very good and the fingerprint sensor and facial recognition work well. A number of system software updates were immediately automatically downloaded.The mobile is well made and came well packaged with a UK power adapter, USB-C cable and a gel case. I just added a glass screen protector to keep things safe.For the price, and with next morning delivery, I am very impressed. OK, this device doesn't support 5G but 4G works fine almost everywhere and WiFi provides fast access when available.NOTE:-When deleting the Motorola bloatware, first let all of the Motorola updates complete. Otherwise, it will reinstall them. A game I played twice before I realised why the Apps kept reappearing!
