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

Thick and heavy for its size

Bluetooth 3.0. Old version of Android. Wide bezels
Sturdy build and ergonomic handling, Larger display than before, Stock Android and promised Android L update, 3G support on both SIMs, Good battery life
Buggy camera interface, Specs can't match the competition
The original Moto G was hailed as a game changer, and was responsible for shaping an entire market around the budget segment with its specs and features. However, we doubt that the new Moto G can carry forward that title, even though it's being sold at a...
Excellent cost/benefit ratio, Highquality, big, clear, and bright screen, Light and comfortable to carry around, Fast and agile, Many apps available, Updated operating system, Frontal camera for video calls
Mediocre camera, No MicroSD card support, No support for 4G LTE networks
The Motorola Moto G is an excellent phone for its price range, with a crisp and bright screen, and solid hardware.OA_show('zone_E');Its only problem is the mediocre camera: if you think a good camera is the most important feature in a smartphone, please c...

The Motorola Moto G has one of the best screens you can get for the price, plenty of power for the everyday essentials, an easy to use, near-stock version of Android KitKat and the addition of 4G LTE and expandable storage are extremely welcome
The camera isn't up to anything more than the odd snap in good lighting, and the addition of 4G LTE means its once "unbelievable bargain" price is now only "good value"
Although the Motorola Moto G with 4G LTE is a bit pricier than its 3G-only sibling, it still has one of the best displays in the budget arena, its processor makes operation enjoyably smooth and its rounded, compact body is both comfortable and attractive...
The phone we're all smitten with is now available on one of the cheapest carriers in the United States — but how well does Republic Wireless' 'hybrid calling' actually work?What's left to say about the Moto G? When we first met the Moto X's little brother...
No LTE support, Limited storage space, Mediocre camera, Choppy web browsing
The Moto G is the kind of phone people need to buy and support if they really want to boost the collective quality of low-end smartphones. It is an outstanding bargain regardless of who you buy it from, and it destroys any other phone in its price range o...
There's something very compelling about the Moto G, despite my initial thoughts that I'd have little to say about it. Certainly, the Moto G won't take your breath away, but that's mostly the point – it's not meant to. Instead, the Moto G is supposed to...
Sturdy build, Supersharp and vibrant 720p screen, Smooth performance, Superb value for money
Nonexpandable storage, Average looks
Looked upon in isolation, the Moto G is just another phone. Let's face it, it's not going to change the world as you know it. It won't bring about world peace and it won't mend your broken heart. Heck, its plain Jane looks mean you won't even be able to f...
With its sharp 720p screen, colourful changeable design, quad-core processor and dependable 5-megapixel camera, the Motorola Moto G offers incredible value for money. This is easily the best sub-£150 smartphone you can buy right now, and we're hoping t...

Abstract: Unknown to many people, possibly even people who live there, Australia was the first country where the Motorola Moto G was first released as a dual-SIM model only a few weeks ago. The 8GB dual-SIM model was released in the great country Down Under in late...
