I'm going to say it I like the bigger size. There are a few reasons why I finally left Apple for Android
And size played its part. In my personal experience
A five-inch screen just seems like the sweet spot for most phones. The Moto G doesn't make watch
Very good buildquality
Responsiveness and fluidity worthy of a premium phone
Clear display with balanced colours
Decent media player

The Moto G is seriously lacking in storage. Right now you can only buy an 8 GB model through Motorola's online store. After downloading essential apps
I only had 3 GB left to work with. This means I'd have to actually think about the next time I record a
You're almost forced to buy a memory card to store your media files
Video capture
Speaker audio output
Pretty average photo quality
SAR value increased from 0.79 W/kg to 1.24 W/kg
In LTE markets
The Moto G's absence of the fast data standard is a drag
Too similar to the first one
Disappointing display
No 4G
No NFC
Bulkier design from larger screen format
Average sound
Front-facing speaker bar design
No LTE
Imaging leaves A LOT to be desired
Very slow app loads
CPU is slightly dated
Lower sharpness than 2013 Moto G
Slightly disappointing battery life
A little chunky
Average sound quality
720p on a 5” display looks a little pixelated here and there
Overall build quality feels more like a large Moto E
The Moto G is still a smash, if one that has plenty of competition The 2015 Motorola Moto G 4G is a 5-star phone with a software problem. Most of what we've loved about the phone for the last two years is present and correct: good price, great screen and...
Abstract: As expected, Motorola has announced the 3rd generation Moto G alongside the Moto X Style and Moto X Play. The Moto G has been one of the most popular budget phones of all time so here's how the new Moto G compares to its predecessor. Find out what's chang...

A perfectly fine phone You don't have to search long to uncover the Moto G's shortcomings, but if you meet them in the middle, it's easier to embrace the phone for what it is. It's not the market-changer like its 2014 predecessor, but that's only beca...

The 2014 Motorola Moto G doesn't flatten last year's model in every respect. It's bigger and less comfortable to hold but a much-improved camera and larger screen make it a worthwhile update....
Unless a truly top notch camera is a requirement, the Moto G – in any variant – really is all the smartphone most people will ever need. For the price the new Mk.II 4G device is the pick of the crop by virtue of the larger screen, bigger battery, 4G comms...
The Moto G 2nd Gen is still a great bargain. It's a £140 phone that gives a surprising number of £200-plus mid-range handsets a real run for their money, and in most cases actually beats them hands down in terms of overall value. The Vodafone Smart Ultra...
I like this handset A LOT. It offers unprecedented design and decent hardware for the ultra-low asking price. You can do a lot with the Moto G too, so much so I hardly missed my allegedly superior Nexus 5 during testing. There are certain issues –– imag...
Abstract: Supplied in either black or white the New Moto G 2014 smartphone has a classic look that can be spiced up with colourful interchangeable shells sold separately . The design on the front is framed at the top and bottom with stereo speakers and whilst the 2...

The Moto G 4G doesn't offer the same exceptional value-for-money as its predecessor. There are now several good-quality 4G Android phones on the market for less than £160, including the Huawei Ascend G740 and the Samsung Galaxy Ace 3. That's not to take a...

The price was the key to the original Moto G's success and we suspect it will be a similar story for the 2014 model too. For £150 you get a lot for your money, including a decent display, very good battery life, ample performance and an improved cam...
