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

The Motorola Moto G is by no means a perfect device, but it's hard to beat for $180 with no contract commitment. The G has a comfortable, somewhat-customizable body that fits well in the hand and in your pocket. The screen rates 720p HD and is small enoug...

The Moto G is a smartphone the whole tech community has wishing for and waiting on for ages. It’s a low-cost smartphone with hardware and software to back up its ability to be a contender in many markets – but more than that, it’s also got the backing ...

Dat price tag, Solid, reasonably attractive plastic body that's nice to hold, $400 of CPU and GPU performance for less than $200, The screen would be excellent even in a more expensive phone, Near-stock Android 4.3, with a KitKat update promised by the en
3G data speeds feel especially slow in the age of readily available LTE, Middling camera and audio quality, Weaker internals and 1GB of RAM might make it feel old before its time, No-frills design cuts out NFC, dual-band Wi-Fi, and useful add-ons like Tou
Abstract: Quick -- when you hear the phrase "budget phone," what's the first thing that comes to mind? If you're anything like me, it's a subpar, low-level experience you wouldn't wish upon your worst enemy. That connotation exists for a reason: Smartphones that...
It's hard not to compare the Moto G to the higher-end Moto X, but in doing so, you have to remember somethingThese are two very different types of phones -- and they're aimed at two very different types of buyers. If you're looking for a top-of-t...
High-end Android devices these days dazzle with specifications, rich feature sets, and unique selling points. It's the effect of fierce competition in a booming market, and we, the users, benefit from it enormously. But somewhere on the road to this mobi...
Abstract: How good can an unlocked, $180, completely contract-free smartphone really be? In the past, paying that little for a phone meant you'd be getting junk. And that was all there was to it. But Motorola is challenging that stigma with the Moto G. A quad-core ...
Abstract: If $350 is the new $650, then $200 is the new $350. That's the best way I can prepare you for the Moto G review you are about to read. Just last year, it seemed crazy that a device like the Nexus 4 could come in at only $349, completely unlocked and off-c...

Motorola's Moto G is the best budget smartphone around. At £135 it's got great build quality, an excellent screen, decent cameras and Android 4.3 Jelly Bean soon to be upgrade to 4.4 KitKat. It's only limited in the storage department and a lack of 4G sup...
