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
Quad-core processor

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
Extra cost for microSD and 4G
Limited onboard storage
No NFC or 4G
Unusual camera focus
Bulkier design
Pricer than older Moto Gs
Non
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
An absolute bargain at $180 unconnected, Stock Android 4.3 Jelly Bean/Android 4.4 KitKat, Fast, capable processor, 4.5-inch, 720p screen is just about perfect, Excellent battery life
The camera is basic, A choice of 8GB or 16GB of memory, No removable battery, External speaker has to be cranked up to hear, No 4G LTE capability
The Moto G has consistently lived up to every expectation I had of it, and performed like a phone that costs twice its price. It so completely obliterates its natural competition, that anyone wanting an Android smartphone outside of the top echelons, wo...
Great screen, Solid chassis, Lots of covers, Well priced
No microSD slot, No 4G LTE support
Motorola has potentially changed the entry-level smartphone game with the Moto G. This is a well-built handset with a good screen and a capable processor, and it has a no-frills approach to Android along with some nice shells. This budget phone has “winn...

The Moto G is essentially a pretty decent mid-spec phone but it's the budget price that makes it really special. Tech fans will want something a bit more distinctive, but for many (and Motorola is hoping very many), this spec is more than they really ne...

We are very impressed with the Moto G. The bottom line is, nearly all the faults we have with it are excusable when you hold it up against the rest of the similarly priced competition.Quite simply it represents stellar value. We think Motorola's no fuss a...
Sharp HD screen; The latest Android; Impressive performance; Changeable covers
Limited onboard storage; No NFC or 4G; Unusual camera focus
The Motorola Moto G’s 720p screen is a brilliant way to take in HD video or browse the web, and the quad-core processor effortlessly copes with the latest Android and all of your apps. Despite its processing pause and unusual focus method, the five-megapi...
Quad-core processor, good screen, decent battery life, average camera, seriously cheap

The Motorola Moto G is great value for money. Powered by a Snapdragon 400 processor and featuring an above-average screen, it offers performance normally seen on phones close to twice its price. This makes the Moto G an ideal choice for any business looki...
