PROS

  1. Excellent 12MP rear camera with f/1.7 aperture produces high-quality images, even in low light.
  2. Features a premium, sturdy metal unibody design that feels durable in hand.
  3. Comes with a nearly stock Android 7.0 Nougat experience, ensuring a smooth, bloatware-free UI.
  4. Fast and responsive front-mounted fingerprint sensor that can be used for gesture navigation.
  5. Supports "TurboPower" fast charging, allowing for hours of battery life with a short charge.
  6. Efficient Snapdragon 625 processor offers a great balance of performance and battery longevity.
  7. Dedicated microSD card slot allows storage expansion without sacrificing a SIM slot.
  8. The 5.2-inch Full HD display is sharp, bright, and easy to view even in direct sunlight.
  9. Good 4K video recording capability adds value, especially compared to competitors.
  10. Includes useful Moto Display and Moto Actions (such as chop-for-flashlight) for improved usability.

CONS

  1. The phone does not feature an LED notification light, relying only on the Moto Display, which may be inconvenient for some.
  2. The rear camera module has a significant, sharp bump that makes it vulnerable to scratches.
  3. The loudspeaker is quite weak and produces tinny, low-quality audio, which makes it hard to hear in noisy environments.
  4. Lacks NFC capability on some regional models, restricting the use of contactless payments.
  5. Uses an outdated Micro-USB port instead of the more modern USB Type-C standard.
  6. The device can become noticeably and uncomfortably hot during intensive gaming or quick charging.
  7. The 5MP front-facing camera produces average, often washed-out results in low-light situations.
  8. The 3000mAh battery might feel inadequate for heavy users, barely lasting a full day compared to competitors.
  9. The build is not fully waterproof, featuring only a basic water-repellent nano-coating.
  10. The phone lacks a built-in digital compass sensor, which can make navigation and map orientation less accurate.
