Recently, my camera would no longer upload photos from my phone, which we figured out had to do with chrome not working right and not mylot in any way.
I already considered getting a better one, so bought it on Saturday which also gave me ten percent off in addition to my discount as an employee.
I'm still learning my new phone, but I will say swipe writing works much easier and faster on this one than my cheaper phone. And I can again upload photos. Yeah!
I captured the photo using my previous phone which has the Sim card from the new phone so I wasn't sure it would work. My new phone found that picture. Pretty cool.
It's an Android prepay. Motorola is the brands and it's a E4 plus.

@MarshaMusselman I like the prepay system. I do not use my phone a lot.

@LadyDuck I have a home phone for customers but I'm starting to add them to this one too.
I'm using the smartphones a lot more than I ever used my dumb phones.

Maybe I will switch to a regular plan in the future, but for now this works for me fine.

A lot of people seem to like the Motorola brands smartphones.

I'm getting a case and screen protector from Amazon tomorrow, so if I don't drop it before then it should do well for me.

I am enjoying it much more than the cheaper one I had.

Enjoy it. It's like having a new toy and I'm sure you are loving exploring your new phone. Have fun!

Except it wants me to explore when it's too late or I'm busy. I'm hoping it makes it available again as I've no idea which apps were asking me the questions.
I just wanted to use a few and declined whatever they were asking so I could get to what I was doing.

I talked about switching with some of the customers buying food and several either had Motorola or heard good things about them.

I would love to buy a new phone. Perhaps this summer. I have never really bought a brand new phone unless it was a really good deal.

At present I'm not willing to get the expensive type my kids have. They pay for their over the two year contract period. I think that's how most people can afford better phones or upgrade them.

@MarshaMusselman One of my old bosses used to switch out cars and smartphones on a weekly basis. I never quite figured out how she was able to afford it. They are always so expensive. I will stick with my older models.

I thought that looked like mine based on the photo. It's one of the best phones I've ever owned. It was a bit of an adjustment from the BLU R1 HD I used to have, and I'm still not quite thrilled with the camera app on it, but it's great overall.
I'm planning on upgrading to the 32GB model only because I broke the screen on this one and I keep running out of space lately... Just been too lazy to dump all my photos and start fresh even though I backed everything up already.
The attached photo is one I took with it yesterday, straight out of camera with no enhancements. If it doesn't work it's too big and I'll resize it when I'm home and not mobile, but this is the sort of stuff you can do with it. This is with the Open Camera app, not the Moto app.

Very pretty, Yuki. I like that the pics taken are truer to the actual color than my first one.

Aren't smartphones wonderful for taking photos and they certainly make our lives easier

Getting used to this is a bit easier than when I went from the dumb to the smart one. Although, I do get instructional things each time I start something for the first time

@MarshaMusselman Not too bad. It took me awhile to get used to texting people too.

@KristenH I've done that for a few years already although on this I can say a lot more possibly to the chagrin of my friends still stuck with dumb phones.

I was going to wait a while until the other one began acting up with the browsers. Plus I discovered more recently that the colors weren't true when using the camera.
