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

Abstract: This year's Motorola Moto G (or “new Moto G”, as the Chicago company would prefer you call it) has a lot to live up to. Last year's model wasn't just the best value phone of 2013, it was also the best selling Motorola smartphone of all time. How could Mot...
One of the best entrylevel phones money can buy, Bigger size aids visuals, Better camera
Lack of 4G, Processor upgrade would have been nice
Motorola’s unwillingness to increase the new Moto G’s numerical value hints at the fact that this isn’t the type of upgrade we’re accustomed to. Still, the device benefits from a larger screen and photography enthusiasts will be pleased to find a better ...

Good value, Decent camera, Solid performance
Too similar to the first one, Disappointing display, No 4G
The 2014 version of the Motorola Moto G is a hugely impressive budget handset, just like the 2013 model was and it’s even better in some ways, with a bigger screen, an improved camera and a slightly better design, but despite that we’re slightly less...

Processor same as last model, screen resolution hasn't increased, no 4G
Motorola raised our expectations of what a budget phone could be with the original Moto G , and we expected the next generation to wow us all over again. This doesn't quite do that, with the same processor and dropping the resolution of the bigger scree...

Do you really want a Moto X but hoping the Moto G would suffice? Then, no, you shouldn't. I would even be hard-pressed to recommend this over the Nexus 5 as LG's Google device comes with a faster processor in a slim package. But the Moto G is incredibly c...
