    Essential Phone with Free Earphones - Black Moon

    • I was getting a very steady -92dBm signal which would have been great on T-Mobile but is terrible on Sprint.
    • The inconsistent signal strength is enough to make me want to switch to the Pixel 3 XL
    • My signal on T-Mobile is weaker than it should be but still good enough that I can use the phone.
    • Really bad signal with AT&T (drop all the time) - no other choice but to return it.
    • The phone is great and all but the signal was very poor in my house, all my phones have signal in my house and never missed a phone call, with this

    • I bought the phone and I made it to Venezuela, but the reception of the phone is so bad that it loses the signal every moment
    • Screen (lovely, the sometimes criticised brightness is more than enough even in direct sun light), working speed and battery (surprisingly decent for the capacity).Noteworthy downsides are the camera (improved software but the output is still nowhere near the top phones, comes not even close to my Nexus especially in low light conditions, installing the Google Camera app helps but there is still a considerable gap), the average at best mobile signal strength and the really weak wireless signal strength
    • The Moto stays pretty steady in my current location which has a strong Verizon signal

    • It often loses signal and is slow to respond in areas where my iPhone never had issues

    • Poor signal
    • My signal on T-Mobile is weaker than it should be but still good enough that I can use the phone.
    • In neighborhoods where I usually would have full bars I'll just randomly lose signal and it completely screws with the apps I've got running
