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

Camera isn't great; No microSDsupport; Limited onboard memory; No 4G connectivity
Excellent value for money; Great display; Vanilla Android 4.4; Quick software updates; Changeable back covers; 50GB of Google Drive storage;
For £130 nothing else comes close to the Moto G. It offers excellent performance, all day battery life and it runs the latest version of Google's Android platform, KitKat. It's not perfect but you won't find anything better at this price....
In conclusion I think the Moto G is an amazing phone, for the price of course. Tesco mobile are selling the 16GB model for £129.99 which if used sensibly could last you for ages. I'm going to pick one up for use as a holiday phone or for interim periods b...
Best value for money on the market, Excellent build, Responsiveness and fluidity worthy of a highend phone, HD display has a clean, natural image, Okay multimedia features, Sound quality during calls
Nonexpandable memory, No 32 GB model for multimedia lovers, Sound quality from speaker, Mediocre camera (video stills)
The Moto G hits hard for a handset of this price. It has a great screen and a responsive interface; you'd almost forget it's a budget phone. The camera and storage are always there to remind you of its caste, but otherwise it's a rare feat for an entry-le...

Brilliant 4.5-inch HD display, Google App suite is excellent, Stylish, sturdy build quality
Very, very affordable, More than fast enough, Fairly vanilla Android and Kit Kat's on the way, Nicely made and fun colour options
Weak camera
The Moto G is nothing short of a game-changer. It has completely destroyed every other mid-range phone in the market with its specs:value ratio and it deserves every single one of its five stars. There simply should be no other Android phone to conside...
Abstract: When the budget is tight and you want a smartphone it's easy to think that you are going to get a very much lesser handset if you don't have lots of money to spend. Motorola has set out to dispel that idea with its Moto G which offers some extremely tempt...
It's easier to list the Moto G's failings, such as they are: a fixed battery, no 4G/LTE radio, no infrared transmitter and no storage expansion. That's really it. In every other way – design, build, performance, software and capability – the Moto G is ev...

Abstract: The Motorola Moto G is one of the best low-cost smartphones on the market as it offers excellent specs for the unbelievably low price of just £135. Available for £120 on Pay As You Go in the UK, the Motorola Moto G brings outstanding mid-range specs to th...
