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

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

Fantastic performance. Excellent value for the money. Great display is complemented by an ergonomic design. Decent battery life.
Internal storage tops out at 16 GB, with no microSD card slot option. Camera is unsuitable for indoor or lowlight photography.
The Moto G is a budget Android smartphone done right, finding success in a number of levels starting with suitable performance across the OS. The Snapdragon 400 SoC is surprisingly powerful, and when combined with a skin-free Android build, it was able to...
It is understandable that the Moto G gets a lot of interest from people who want a good and simple phone at a great price. The industrial design is simple and super-cute and I just wished that it was lighter. On the other hand, its shape feels very good i...

Abstract: The Motorola Moto G is a budget smartphone. While it makes some compromises for its lower price, it doesn't compromise build quality. One such concession is its 4.5-inch HD 720p resolution screen. It isn't as bright or dynamic as other phones, but it stil...
Crisp 720p display, Near-stock version of Android, Impressive performance, Affordably priced
Up to just 16GB of non-expandable storage, No LTE, Slightly sluggish web browsing
Forgiving the absence of a microSD slot and LTE radio, we commend the Moto G for its bright display, superb all-around performance and versatile camera despite a low megapixel count. At this price, it's a bargain....

I always find it difficult to review budget phones. They are obviously not going to be perfect, but what imperfections are acceptable? The Moto G has only two negatives: the lack of LTE and the camera. When you consider the demographic for this phone, nei...

Comparing the Moto G to the Moto X makes it fairly obvious that compromises have to be made in order to justify a price tag of $179 unlocked and free of any contract. The sacrifices made in texture, camera, and connectivity options make the Moto X a b...

The Moto G is a great smartphone for $179. It may not deliver all the features as the Moto X, HTC One, Samsung Galaxy S4 and iPhone 5s, but it is a third of the price without a contract.It is rare that we see an off contract smartphone below $200 worth bu...
