Motorola Pros and Cons | Top 5 Motorola Phones on Tracfone

Motorola Smartphone Pros and Cons - Best Tracfone Moto Devices 2023

Motorola smartphones have been a staple for many Tracfone users starting years ago when the first unlocked Moto G phones could be used on Tracfone BYOP, and continuing as Tracfone started offering subsidized Motorola phones directly.

Tracfone has released almost 20 different Motorola smartphones to use on their prepaid network and they continue to be a popular option for both locked and unlocked devices.

The phones offered by Tracfone tend to be less expensive and geared to budget-conscious consumers. Let's start with our pros and cons for these devices.

Tracfone Motorola Smartphone Pros and Cons

Motorola Smartphone Pros:

• Inexpensive and a Good Value
• Long Battery life
• Near stock Android experience
• Good durability and build quality
• Moto Actions and Gestures
• Typically generous storage and expandable storage options
• Standard 3.5mm headphone jack still included

One of the main benefits of Motorola smartphones is the balance of cost with features, and they generally do a great job delivering excellent value. The versions released by Tracfone often come with a significant price discount compared to unlocked phones, helping keep the price below $200 for most new phones. Motorola phones also typically have a stock Android experience which many users prefer, and have good durability and build quality.

While the amount of storage varies from one phone model to another, their latest device in the Power line comes with 128GB internal storage plus expandable storage. Many of the phones in the Stylus lineup also feature 128GB storage. 

Now for some of the drawbacks to Motorola phones from Tracfone.

Motorola Smartphone Cons:

• Most phones lack NFC (Several of the new devices for 2024 now include NFC)
• Increase in bloatware in recent phones
• Limited software update policy (Only one major Android update)
• Camera quality is mediocre in most cheaper phones
• Slow battery charging speeds
• Many Motorola phones from Tracfone come with only 4GB RAM

To keep prices low, Motorola's budget phones often come with less powerful processors, lower resolution screens and mediocre cameras. This has led to some users purchasing Motorola's more mid-level devices (which come with better features) a year or two after they are released, when the price drops significantly. 

Other drawbacks of Motorola include a lack of NFC on most of the phones released by Tracfone, limited Android update policy, and rather slow battery charging speeds.

We generally consider Motorola phones to be a great option, especially some of the devices that have a good balance of performance and price. However, some recent phones from Samsung, like the A14 5G, as well as Tracfone offering the Pixel 6a, have brought some good competition.
