Motorola is in the vanguard of Android smartphone development. Proof of this can be seen in the Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE, a feature-rich high-end model that looks every bit as good in real life as it does on paper. It’s one of Motorola’s best-looking handsets and it’s sold at a fairly affordable price. Should you be scrambling to get your hands on one right now?

The Photon Q will impress you with its 4.3-inch qHD resolution screen. It also has many other high-end niceties such as an 8MP rear camera with LED flash, 8GB of internal storage, over 7 hours of continuous talk time per charge, and support for 4G LTE data. Its other features include 1GB of RAM, a 1.5GHz dual-core processor, Bluetooth 4.0, Wi-Fi, HDMI-out, and microUSB connectivity. And it even has a built-in hardware QWERTY keyboard.

Unless you’re allergic to non-HD screens or you would rather nix the hardware keyboard for a slimmer profile, the Photon Q 4G LTE is an excellent choice. Just be ready to haul quite a bit of heft with you if you plan on carrying it everywhere.

It's biggest draw is the keyboard

Andrew Kameka from MobileBurn (8 months ago)

8/10

The question is: does that have more to do with quality or a lack of competition? The Photon Q becomes harder to sell once taken outside of the context of being a great phone with a physical keyboard. This is the best implementation of Motorola's software yet, so there's plenty to like about the phone,... More

An otherwise solid messaging device hamstrung by a poor battery arrangement

Adama D. Brown from Brighthand (8 months ago)

The Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE is arguably Motorola's best device for texters and emailers since the Droid 3, and has a lot of things that will make business travelers happy. Unfortunately, it also has some compromises that make it problematic for that same group.A marginal battery is one thing, but mixed... More

The Photon Q goes beyond just being useful as a messaging phone

Kevin Krause from Phandroid (8 months ago)

If you just can’t stand to let the hardware QWERTY keyboard go the way of the dinosaurs, then hands-down the Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE should be an option for you. Next to the Motorola Droid series, there really isn’t much competition out there. It’s got it all, from a snappy dual-core processor... More
