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

Recently, Motorola released an updated model, adding support for 4G and expandable storage via a microSD card. This review covers both models, but be careful when you're buying to ensure you're getting the model you intended.....

No dual-SIM (in contrast to the precursor), Middling performance, Non-removable battery, Pressure-sensitive casing, Tight internal storage, GPS sluggish and sometimes inaccurate, 720p videos only, No power supply included
The same verdict applies to Motorola's Moto G 2nd Gen G4 as for the Moto G2 UMTS model. The significant modifications are LTE, the brighter but overall only marginally better screen (production deviation?), and the storage's considerably faster transfer r...
The Motorola moto g is a very good device, not amazing, but still very good and better than you'd expect for the price. The fast interface, the large screen and good speakers are all good features, and, to be honest, I would never of thought that a device...

The first-generation Moto G was an excellent smartphone for its price. On this second generation, Motorola solved its main problems: the mediocre camera and the lack of support for memory cards.The bigger screen is also an improvement, obviously if you li...

Abstract: Way back in 2013, Motorola threw everyone a curve ball with the launch of the budget-minded Moto G. The device didn't fare so well here in the U.S. but was a smash hit in Brazil, India and other emerging markets around the world. No, the Moto G didn't off...

Motorola continues its strategy with the Moto G2 and once again builds a simple smartphone with original Android and replaceable covers. The Moto G2 is not a device that is going to be very exciting, it is more of a loyal companion that hardly disappoints...

Solid phone for an irresistible price, Average camera experience, Solid design and construction, Easily customizable hardware via swappable backplates
Data speeds are limited to HSPA, No NFC support, Limited inbuilt storage options, RAM limitations affect performance
In the end, the question is, did Motorola go too light on the improvements to this year's Moto G? Not at all. It's just as much of a no-brainer as it ever was, even if Motorola only made a few changes to the hardware. We can think of at least two reasons...
