I would give this phone 4.5 stars if allowed, but, as I'm not able to, and it isn't fair to round down, I've given it five. In addition, I bought it on sale for $99, and don't use it as my main phone (instead, it's a device to carry when hiking, etc, as well as for some side business stuff), both of which factor into my review.
First of all, this phone is very affordable. In addition, the battery life seems to be great so far. Furthermore, unlike other budget devices I've used in the past, such as those from Blu, this doesn't feel slow, outdated, or anything like that. The screen, camera, and everything else are decent, and for the price, they're great.
The phone is very, very large, which for some people will be a good thing, and for others a bad thing. Personally, I don't think I could carry this around on a day-to-day basis, as I'm not sure I could fit it in some of my pockets. For my purposes though, it's not a deal-breaker.
The only real, objective negatives that I've encountered so far are some software quirks: initially, the time zone defaulted to China, and I had to manually change it, although after a few days I was able to set it back to automatically update without it switching back to China; the alarm does not consistently sound or go off at all; and the UI for Motorola doesn't seem to be as good as Samsung, or even stock Android.
Overall, if you're looking for a budget phone, this is a great option, especially if it's on sale. It's not going to be the same quality as a Samsung Series S or Z device, a Google Pixel, etc, but it isn't really meant to directly compete with those.

Good
I like the phone thus far. The battery life has lasted more than 3 days. For extra security i can put on fingerprints which can be more than one. Also, fingerprints are in the back of the phone. You can open the phone by pin or fingerprint. This is what I call my random phone with a number I can pay as I go. I plan to buy another one. I like the features i unlocked thus far. The camera takes clearer pictures than my old Samsung S8.
