Competitive price tag
Brilliant display

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

Abstract: Can a £135 phone survive a 6 foot tall drop onto a hard real wooden floor? Well you could buy one and test it yourself OR you could just watch our video…The Moto G is Google's answer to the low-cost market and competition from the Lumia 520 which runs Win...
From a distance, the Moto G looks identical to the attractive Moto X. Get up close, and it still does. Though it's simply a plastic shell, it's rigid and attractively curved to make it look thinner than its 11.6mm, with a minimal bezel. Best of all, it's customisable too: there are more than 15 different cases you can snap on the back, and we're actually rather taken with the coloured ones we too
Out of the box, the Moto G runs Android 4.3 Jelly Bean, leaving it ever so slightly behind the curve, as the Nexus line of Google devices (which, confusingly, the Google-owned Motorola doesn't make) have been updated to Android 4.4 KitKat, which adds tighter Google Now integration, better multitasking and more. This in itself is only a minor issue: Motorola has pledged to deliver the 4.4 update f
We've seen plenty of budget smartphones over the years, but none have ever delivered on the promise of a great experience at a low cost like the Moto G has. Not only are its specs fast, its screen sharp and its software (almost) bang up to date, it act...

Abstract: It offers a perfectly decent 5MP camera, whose pictures look better in the gallery than they do the second you take them. Motorola has done very little to improve Google's now excellent Android interface, save for offering an ‘Assist' function that mak...
The Moto G is remarkable device. It's arguably the less talented sibling of the flash-bang Moto X released by the Google-owned smartphone maker earlier this year, but it's more noteworthy because it offers so much at such a stunning price point. Make no m...
Very affordable, works with all major carriers, quality and customer service despite low price. Good cameras, 3DMark Sling Shot: 384
These are large phones, old Moto G owners who like small phones will be disappointed. Occasional lag, The Moto G Plus has a fingerprint scanner on the front, which the Moto G lacks. The scanner works very well, and our only complaint is that we kept press

Yes, yes, oh god, yes. Look, it’s not a flagship monster. It’s just not. If you’re looking for the very best camera or the very sharpest display, this is not the right phone. But if you’re OK with good enough features plus some nice touches like excellent...

Hard to beat the price. Waterproof, and still has a removable back. Runs a pure version of Android, with only useful additions
The camera can't hang with the best. The screen doesn't look as good as it should. A little hefty
