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

Unusual camera focus
Bulkier design

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
It is understandable that the Moto G gets a lot of interest from people who want a good and simple phone at a great price. The industrial design is simple and super-cute and I just wished that it was lighter. On the other hand, its shape feels very good i...
Abstract: The Motorola Moto G is a budget smartphone. While it makes some compromises for its lower price, it doesn't compromise build quality. One such concession is its 4.5-inch HD 720p resolution screen. It isn't as bright or dynamic as other phones, but it stil...
Crisp 720p display, Near-stock version of Android, Impressive performance, Affordably priced
Up to just 16GB of non-expandable storage, No LTE, Slightly sluggish web browsing
Forgiving the absence of a microSD slot and LTE radio, we commend the Moto G for its bright display, superb all-around performance and versatile camera despite a low megapixel count. At this price, it's a bargain....

I always find it difficult to review budget phones. They are obviously not going to be perfect, but what imperfections are acceptable? The Moto G has only two negatives: the lack of LTE and the camera. When you consider the demographic for this phone, nei...
Price, Bright screen, Battery runtime, Robust, Very powerful hardware, Exchangeable back cover
Non-expandable storage, Non-removable battery
Again, Google does everything right - in the form of Motorola.Google led the way with its Nexus 4, and to-date with the Nexus 5. It now applies this strategy to the bought out manufacturer Motorola - high-performance hardware alongside appealing looks, an...

Comparing the Moto G to the Moto X makes it fairly obvious that compromises have to be made in order to justify a price tag of $179 unlocked and free of any contract. The sacrifices made in texture, camera, and connectivity options make the Moto X a b...
Very low off contract price, Solid build quality, Fast Software Updates, Unlocked, Many first party accessories

The Moto G is a great smartphone for $179. It may not deliver all the features as the Moto X, HTC One, Samsung Galaxy S4 and iPhone 5s, but it is a third of the price without a contract.It is rare that we see an off contract smartphone below $200 worth bu...
Abstract: I think Motorola has struck gold with the Moto G. Its first low cost Android smartphone that pack a lot into its 4.5-inch 720p display. The Moto G is geared at the entry level smartphone market, an area dominated by Nokia's Lumai 520 line of sub $100 devi...

I've been using Moto G as my daily driver since getting it, and absent a few features (camera, LTE, always on voice and display tuning), the device is surprisingly close to offering a similar kind of experience as the Moto X. Form factor is roughly equiva...
It's important to keep the Moto G in perspective. As a $179 off-contract smartphone, it blows all other cheap phones out of the water. But it definitely does not out muscle today's top flagships, such as the HTC One, Galaxy S4, or Nexus 5, which, as far a...
