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

Moto updates its best-selling smartphone just enough. With the new Moto G, Motorola took the best low-cost unlocked phone option from 2013 and made it slightly better, while keeping the price the same. For the industry-leading $179 unlocked you're getti...
Motorola has seemingly found success in the entry-level market, and it obviously shows with its Moto G smartphones. Before its introduction, owning a decent performing basic smartphone meant forking over $200 to pick up – so the feeling felt rewarding whe...

The Moto G is seriously lacking in storage. Right now you can only buy an 8GB model through Motorola's online store with MicroSD expansion up to 32GB. After downloading essential apps, I only had 3GB left to work with. This means I'd have to actually thin
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...
Considering its shortcomings (mediocre camera, thick body and low-end specs), the Moto G still has plenty to offer, especially for just $179 off-contract. You won't find many offers like it, and the fact that it sports vanilla Android is a huge plus compa...

Fantastic value, Strong 8MP camera, Glorious HD screen
Not as one-handed friendly, No 4G support
The only question is, which phone should you get - the New Moto G, or the also-excellent Moto G 4G? There's no clear-cut answer, to be honest. The Moto G 4G is more compact, for easier one-handed use, and obviously packs LTE support for stutter-free media...

Inexpensive. Large display. Runs nearly stock Android with promise of speedy updates. Memory card slot. Upgraded camera performance.
No LTE. Larger display is less sharp than first generation. No processor upgrades
Though it still lacks LTE, the second-generation Motorola Moto G grows up and gets a few welcome upgrades without sacrificing the high-quality experience and low price of its predecessor....
