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
Much-improved camera, Strong battery life, Solid, well-built design, Excellent value for money
No 4G LTE support, Average front-facing speakers, So-so low-light photos
The new Moto G punches above its weight once again and puts more expensive phones to shame. 4G would be great, but it's not a deal breaker when you consider the price.Next, read our best cheap phones round-up to see how the Moto G 2 compares...
Excellent camera, Value for money, Clean Android 4.4.2 OS
Low resolution for screen size, Same processor as old model
Topping the original Moto G is a big ask – this was the handset that disrupted a notoriously competitive market and catapulted Motorola back under the global spotlight. However, the 2014 edition isn't so much a "topper" but a rather delicious "topping." ...

Abstract: The company Motorola, now owned by Lenovo, has created a new generation of one of its most popular handsets. This is the Motorola Moto G of 2014 or second generation. Motorola Moto G seeks to balance power and functionality offering upper-middle range, bu...
With a bigger screen, much better speakers and improved cameras, the new Moto G is a great budget smartphone. The lack of support for 4G will be a deal-breaker for some, though. It isn't without its rivals, but if you're specifically looking for a budget...

Motorola has again impressed with its affordable option and even though we would have liked to have seen a few more of the Moto X features trickle down to the G, the larger screen, beefed up snapper and quad-core processor make up for it. If only it had 4...

Being cheap is no longer an excuse. I've said it before, and it bears repeating: The Moto G is far more than the sum of its parts, and there's good reason that it's the most popular Motorola handset of all time . Not only does it hang tough with the r...
