"The Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE packs plenty of power and a fantastic hardware keyboard for Sprint subscribers that prefer sending messages to making calls."

"With a 1785mAh battery you can expect reasonable battery life. I was able to get through a day of moderate usage with watching a few YouTube videos, checking email and Twitter and playing a bit of Temple Run on 3G.

"The quality of the loudspeaker is actually very good. That’s great when you play, watch a movie, or want to share some music. It works particularly well in a quiet environment and should be OK in a mildly loud place like an office."

"My biggest gripe of all is with the display: it’s simply not good enough. The Photon Q’s 4.3-inch touchscreen has a “qHD” resolution of just 960 x 540 pixels. This feels like a cut corner — Motorola, I know you can make a better display than this. "
