From a distance
The Moto G looks identical to the attractive Moto X. Get up close
And it still does. Though it's simply a plastic shell
It's rigid and attractively curved to make it look thinner than its 11.6mm
With a minimal bezel. Best of all
It's customisable too
There are more than 15 different cases you can snap on the back
And we're actually rather taken with the coloured ones we too

The editors didn't like
Nonexpandable memory
No 32 GB model for multimedia lovers
Sound quality from speaker
Mediocre camera (video stills)
Lack of LTE
Small memory
3G-only model lacks microSD
Mediocre camera
The camera isn't up to anything more than the odd snap in good lighting
And the addition of 4G LTE means its once "unbelievable bargain" price is now only "good value"
No 4G connectivity
Average camera and no micro SD card slot.
Poor camera
Low internal storage

Stereo front speaker
Out of the box
The Moto G runs Android 4.3 Jelly Bean
Leaving it ever so slightly behind the curve
As the Nexus line of Google devices (which
Confusingly
The Google-owned Motorola doesn't make) have been updated to Android 4.4 KitKat
Which adds tighter Google Now integration
Better multitasking and more. This in itself is only a minor issue

High-end Android devices these days dazzle with specifications, rich feature sets, and unique selling points. It's the effect of fierce competition in a booming market, and we, the users, benefit from it enormously. But somewhere on the road to this mobi...
Abstract: How good can an unlocked, $180, completely contract-free smartphone really be? In the past, paying that little for a phone meant you'd be getting junk. And that was all there was to it. But Motorola is challenging that stigma with the Moto G. A quad-core ...
Abstract: If $350 is the new $650, then $200 is the new $350. That's the best way I can prepare you for the Moto G review you are about to read. Just last year, it seemed crazy that a device like the Nexus 4 could come in at only $349, completely unlocked and off-c...

Motorola's Moto G is the best budget smartphone around. At £135 it's got great build quality, an excellent screen, decent cameras and Android 4.3 Jelly Bean soon to be upgrade to 4.4 KitKat. It's only limited in the storage department and a lack of 4G sup...
