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

Nonexpandable memory

Sound quality from speaker
Mediocre camera (video stills)
Lack of LTE

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

We've seen plenty of budget smartphones over the years, but none have ever delivered on the promise of a great experience at a low cost like the Moto G has. Not only are its specs fast, its screen sharp and its software (almost) bang up to date, it act...

Abstract: It offers a perfectly decent 5MP camera, whose pictures look better in the gallery than they do the second you take them. Motorola has done very little to improve Google's now excellent Android interface, save for offering an ‘Assist' function that mak...
The Moto G is remarkable device. It's arguably the less talented sibling of the flash-bang Moto X released by the Google-owned smartphone maker earlier this year, but it's more noteworthy because it offers so much at such a stunning price point. Make no m...
Very affordable, works with all major carriers, quality and customer service despite low price. Good cameras, 3DMark Sling Shot: 384
These are large phones, old Moto G owners who like small phones will be disappointed. Occasional lag, The Moto G Plus has a fingerprint scanner on the front, which the Moto G lacks. The scanner works very well, and our only complaint is that we kept press

Yes, yes, oh god, yes. Look, it’s not a flagship monster. It’s just not. If you’re looking for the very best camera or the very sharpest display, this is not the right phone. But if you’re OK with good enough features plus some nice touches like excellent...

Great performance comparable with premium smartphones, microSD card slot, Price, High Quality build, Good battery life
Average Speaker Output, Average Photo Quality
Hands down, the Motorola Moto G Universal 4G LTE is the best smart phone that you can buy in its price range, with the best screen available on a budget phone and performance, in certain conditions rivals even the Samsung S5 or iPhone 6.Check for the late...
Abstract: Black Friday , and the subsequent Cyber Monday/week, offer up some huge sales in the United States every year. This particular year, I picked up two brand new pre-paid Android phones from Best Buy for a total of $49.98. Surely they would be pathetic excus...
