The Back story

I’ve always loved Amazon for over 10 to 15 years.   I’ve always used them to do my buying of stuff from movies to electronics when I can.  When I need a new cell phone or something else,  I’ll go to Amazon and check to see if I can get it there cheaper than around here.   So you see how much I use Amazon from day to day.   Lately I’ve been looking at buying a new cell phone for me.   I loved my other cell phones on Amazon.   I found the Motorola G7 with Alexa installed on it and you could make monthly payments, which was sweet because it was a little higher than I would like to pay all at once.  When I bought this phone, I was paying 60 dollars a month for 5 months for this phone.

My thoughts on this phone

(Positives)

The phone was speedy and the ease of it was really.   The display was big enough for me and I could watch movies and shows through Netflix with no issues.   I loved the storage size and the ability to add even more storage which I bought a 64 GB Micro SD card.  It helps for me to have the extra space for my audible membership.   I simply love Audible and listen to my favorite books as I go to work or other errands.  Android Pie is really nice and very handy even the Google voice commands are working great with the phone.

(Negative)

So the negative of the phone is some what just my observations of using it.   The Alexa capabilities are nice but was something that I had to disable and enable Google instead.   It really wasn’t to hard just a little bit annoying but for the benefit of paying monthly this wasn’t a really bad situation.   The Battery Life, which is good for people who don’t use your phones a lot is good but for someone who plays games and uses a lot just won’t last all day.   The Display and brightness was also annoying because when it is really bright outside you would have a problem unless you turned up the brightness, which drains the battery even faster.  The Gorrila Glass 3 that it comes with still broke at least twice with the use of the phone.   I replaced the screen twice and It might of been because I kept putting it in my pocket.  If you buy the phone, I suggest buying a holster or something to put the phone when you are traveling.   The first time I broke it, it had a cover and tempered glass protector and I accidentally dropped it.  The second time, looks to be around the middle where I might of done it myself.   Motorola should make their screens even more durable for the end users.  

Finally

All in All,  I am happy to use the phone and the voice and video chats are sweet using it but you know you the screen issues are a real problem.   I still love the fact that I can charge the phone rather quickly and be able to play games on it.   I just hope they fix the issues that I talked about and hopefully will think about fixing these issues.   Have you used the Motorola G7 and what do you think about it?   Leave a comment and tell me your experiences on the Phone and tell people what you think about it!
