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

Abstract: Motorola's second generation Moto G drops dual-SIM support in favour of LTE and microSD card support at a budget price point.Motorola's in an interesting position right now. It's just been formally acquired by Lenovo, making the Chinese firm one of the wo...
Solid 4G battery life in a compact size, with almost two days of juice; Nice screen; Comfy design; Insanely up-to-date version of Android; Upgradeable storage;
Mediocre camera with slow auto-focus; System performance can lag sometimes;
It's not the cheapest Motorola out there, but in terms of performance, the Moto G 4G ticks quite a few boxes, offering a great screen, fast 4G speeds, and impressive battery life.There's some pretty solid competition between this and Kogan's BenQ-powered ...

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...
