The editors didn't like
No expandable storage
Standard rear shell
Screen comes off as dull at times
Lack of 4G
I understand why it's not there
But I still want it
Screen can lack a bit of brightness
Turn off auto and set it manually
Very occasional stutter when switching apps
Hardware
In LTE markets
The Moto G's absence of the fast data standard is a drag
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"
Excellent cost/benefit ratio, Highquality, big, clear, and bright screen, Light and comfortable to carry around, Fast and agile, Many apps available, Updated operating system, Frontal camera for video calls
Mediocre camera, No MicroSD card support, No support for 4G LTE networks
The Motorola Moto G is an excellent phone for its price range, with a crisp and bright screen, and solid hardware.OA_show('zone_E');Its only problem is the mediocre camera: if you think a good camera is the most important feature in a smartphone, please c...

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...
The phone we're all smitten with is now available on one of the cheapest carriers in the United States — but how well does Republic Wireless' 'hybrid calling' actually work?What's left to say about the Moto G? When we first met the Moto X's little brother...
No LTE support, Limited storage space, Mediocre camera, Choppy web browsing
The Moto G is the kind of phone people need to buy and support if they really want to boost the collective quality of low-end smartphones. It is an outstanding bargain regardless of who you buy it from, and it destroys any other phone in its price range o...
There's something very compelling about the Moto G, despite my initial thoughts that I'd have little to say about it. Certainly, the Moto G won't take your breath away, but that's mostly the point – it's not meant to. Instead, the Moto G is supposed to...
Sturdy build, Supersharp and vibrant 720p screen, Smooth performance, Superb value for money
Nonexpandable storage, Average looks
Looked upon in isolation, the Moto G is just another phone. Let's face it, it's not going to change the world as you know it. It won't bring about world peace and it won't mend your broken heart. Heck, its plain Jane looks mean you won't even be able to f...
With its sharp 720p screen, colourful changeable design, quad-core processor and dependable 5-megapixel camera, the Motorola Moto G offers incredible value for money. This is easily the best sub-£150 smartphone you can buy right now, and we're hoping t...

Abstract: Unknown to many people, possibly even people who live there, Australia was the first country where the Motorola Moto G was first released as a dual-SIM model only a few weeks ago. The 8GB dual-SIM model was released in the great country Down Under in late...

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...
