Competitive price tag
Brilliant display
Excellent battery life
The price. In terms of bang for $200 bucks
This thing can't be beat. It feels so much better than you'd expect for a phone this cheap (and unlocked). The software is recent enough
And should be caught up to Android 4.4 (KitKat) in the very near future

The editors didn't like
Camera is below average
Comes only in 8GB and 16GB variants without SD card slot
Average build
There is no software features on the interface as this is a Google phone. So you have to customise this yourself to make Moto G a real ‘SmartPhone’. The lack of microSD card support
Nonremovable battery & up to 720p video recording capabilities are also
The 3G radio is pretty much a deal-breaker
Especially if you're coming from a 4G device. The camera is incredibly bad. The screen is sharp but bland. The $180 version only has 8GB of storage. The Android OS takes up about 3GB of storage
Leaving you only
Lack of 4G LTE connectivity
No expandable memory
Average camera
Lack of expandable storage
Questionable call quality
Disappointing camera

Lacks microSD card slot
No NFC
Screen prone to fingerprints & smudges
8/16 GB only

Bluetooth 3.0. Old version of Android. Wide bezels
The Moto G isn't perfect, but it's the best phone we've used in its price range. It's smooth, faster than the competition, takes decent photos and even looks pretty nice. Even if you don't like the look you can grab any one of a bunch of Moto Shells, whic...
Great value, Decent screen, Slick interface, Android 4.4
Poor camera, No expandable memory, Low internal storage, No NFC or 4G
Motorola is back folks, it's official. It may not be the return I would have predicted - there's no flagship phone stuffed full of the latest tech - but arguably what the now Google-owned firm has done is even better. The Moto G is a top notch, low cost ...
Under Google's watch Motorola has managed to deliver one of the best value-for-money smartphones on the market today. It is wonderfully styled, has powerful innards and offers the money-saving advantages of a dual-SIM smartphone...
If you're on a telco contract, then no. get the Nexus 5 instead, which is $399 off-contract and is better in absolutely every way...

Launched with Android 4.3, already received Android 4.4.2, Penta-band GSM and quad-band UMTS; supports just about every network except 4G, Feels good. Looks good. Great size, Battery life can be measured in days
Lack of 4G; I understand why it's not there, but I still want it, Screen can lack a bit of brightness; turn off auto and set it manually, Very occasional stutter when switching apps, Hardware
If you hadn't figured it out from reading the rest of my review, I'll sum it up for you nice and simply: the Moto G is a shining example of what a sub-$300 Android phone should look like. Hell, it does a good job of demonstrating what a sub-$500 Android p...
Design and overall build quality, Silky performance, Battery life, HD display clarity, Basically pure android, , THE
No expandable storage, Standard rear shell, Screen comes off as dull at times
In parts of this review I've compared the Moto G to bigger, and virtually more powerful devices in every respect, and that's because for this money, there's nothing else in its price range currently on the market that compares to it. Yes it does suffer f...
Abstract: Lisa Gade reviews the Moto G by Motorola. This is an unlocked GSM Android smartphone that sells for just $179 for the 8 gig model and $199 for the 16 gig model. The Moto G looks a lot like the attractive Moto X and it's just as comfy in the hand thanks to...

Abstract: I've never been quick to switch from a technology that worked for me. Until last January, when I somewhat nervously upgraded to the large-sized Nexus 6P, I was quite satisfied to stick with my aging, 4.7-in. Moto X (yes, the original version).So I can ver...
Bigger screen, Micro SD card slot for more memory, stereo speakers, better cameras
Larger and heavier than its predecessor
The Moto G second generation is finally here. Being a first generation Moto G user, I was really excited about the improvements Motorola has made to the 2014 edition of the phone.The new model has similar specs as its predecessor, including the same 1.2G...
