The Photon Q 4G LTE looks impressive on paper with many notable features, like a 1500Mhz dual-core processor, a QWERTY keyboard, government-grade encryption, and 4G LTE. That said, we would have preferred slightly bigger cameras than only 8 megapixels (main) and 1.3 megapixels (secondary).
On-paper Star rating: 
The display is pretty big, with its 4.3-inch diagonal size and its 540 x 960 resolution (in pixels).
The Photon Q 4G LTE is not sold with a memory card but it supports up to 32GB in memory expansion, which is convenient to store pictures and video clips taken with the built-in 8-megapixel camera.
The Photon Q 4G LTE includes a large internal memory (8000MB), but it may sometimes be more interesting to buy a phone with an included memory card instead, since the memory card can then be reused in a future cell phone.
It includes a high-megapixel camera (8-megapixel) with the following options: Auto-focus, LED flash.

Its 450 minutes of talk time is above the average. Even if talk time ratings are attributed by the manufacturers with no standard testing method, this is still an indication that the Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE is likely to last longer than other handsets.
The HDMI port will be useful to watch HD (1920 x 1080 resolution) videos recorded with the Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE on an HDTV (HDMI cable might be sold separately).
These days, we would hope for more than just 1.3-megapixel of selfie cam resolution.
