At that time I liked Motorola with its oval design.
Today's cell phones are all imitations of other companies and I don't feel the need to be a Motorola.

Anonymous, 14 Aug 2024this model had so much battery issues lol. i had the 4gb 64gb version and this month, the batt... moreMine also did that blinking thing but I had owned several phones. A70s, moto one vision and xiaomi 6 pro
The a70s is absolute trash and waste of money. Bootlooping issue (motherboard dead is very prone)
Xiaomi 6 pro stock rom is absolute trash (installed lineageOS and runs flawless)
Moto one vision. Good phone but dropped it and it got shattered so bad I threw it.
Moto g6. Still runs and functions with everything stock.
Battery issues happen here and there but it is easy to counter it. I have unlocked bootloader and using the stock rom.

Mine still works just fine. Have 200GB microSD for movie/show downloads for my son. I have upgraded from the stock Pie (Android 9) build to an Android 12.1 ROM based on LineageOS 19.1 (updated monthly by FWieP):

This runs much better than the stock Pie build and is more secure. The processor is still the slow SD450 and it has only 3GB RAM, but for a media consumption device it works well and has decent battery life (still on original).

Nostalgic for this phone. It wasn't really remarkable in any way but I took some half decent photos with it and it kept me entertained during the pandemic. Had to stop using it in 2022 when it stopped holding a charge. Would have kept it for memories if it wasn't for the battery.

It worked just fine at first (many years ago) for a mid-tier phone, but it quickly began deteriorating as time went by. It started lagging pretty frequently and the battery became terrible a few years later. All in all, it was an "okay" phone at first, but one that clearly wasn't made to last.

Obsolete by now but it is available for very cheap. For its time it was an okay budget device and it served me well as a daily driver for many years. In its older age it has slowed down and the battery drains like crazy, but this is hardly surprising. There's little reason to get one of these nowadays and replacing it was long overdue, but it deserves some credit I suppose. Lasted me longer than I expected. Out of all the phones ever made, the Moto G6 is certainly one of them.

Romaine, 23 Jul 2023It has no light.....how to turn on the light.Swipe down and then down again and you should see the icon for the torch/flashlight. Swipe right to see more icons. If you still don't see the icon, tap the pencil in the lower right and it will display all the icons. There should be the torch which you can drag to the top so it displays it.
The other way is to do the karate chop twice and the torch will turn on. If this gesture is turned off you can enable it using the Moto app. Open the app, go to features, tap Moto Actions and you'll see the Fast Torch option.

Bought new in July 2018, been reasonable phone until it turned into a firework whilst on charge in Oct 2022. My advice is never leave one of these on charge overnight.

For the battery problem, replace your charge cable, that fixed it for me. Find one that feels tight.

Bought this phone around 2018 off Amazon.ca, but it was locked to Tracfone (who are dicks, by the way), and it didn't specify it was locked on the site profile. They refused to unlock despite it being law in Canada all phones sold here must be unlocked, but I eventually achieved the unlock via a third party (and Amazon threw me some credit for my troubles).
I've had next to no issues with this phone. Battery life has been excellent (very slight decline in capacity over the years but every phone battery does this), very fast charging, reliable, quick, and tons of free, useful features via the Motorola flavour and software. Only issues I've had have been that the splashproofing doesn't really work (normal rain/sweat/slight water is fine, but you can't quickly rinse or heavily splash the unit... not that it says you can), and there's a tiny half-scratch on the screen that you do not notice and that has never gotten worse. I assume I could easily replace the screen if I wanted to, but I've had no reason.
Tracfone has only allowed Android 8 despite 9 being available, but as I said at the top, they are dicks. Phone still works great and I cannot complain about a budget phone working so smoothly for so long!
