Didn't see all the comments about the phone being locked until after I ordered.
:
Contacted them to cancel less then fee hours after ordering. They shipped it the following day anyways. Got in today...it's locked. This seller is a sham. |

Cons: no IP rating, no water or dust protection, no gorilla glass protection. LCD screen ( no OLED ) and the big cons IMO is, no more Android upgrade, it's stock on Android 15 and will never get another upgrade. Security updates will available till 2027.
For the same amount of money you can get the 2025 Moto G Stylus which eliminate all the cons, however you will have to deal with the process to get it unlock if that's your goal. For this price is hard to find another phone with the same features. The Galaxy A16 IMO has better screen but its slow AF. And iPhone 11 its around the same price but you will have to deal with a used phone, 3 years old battery and even when the iPhone 11 is twice as fast on bechmarks than the Moto, the Moto feels way faster, specially on multitask because it has double the RAM.
Conclusion: This is probably the best phone you can buy on Amazon brand new and unlock for $129. If you can deal with all the cons go for it. If it goes cheaper on BlackFriday that will be a crazy must buy even if you don't need.

I am a person who has had like 10 different budget / medium android phones over the years due to me grabbing deals trying them out, and then rotating them down to older family members like used cards family members adopt.
This is my favorite phone so far but it has the glass problems I mentioned above !
