The editors didn't like
No expandable storage
Standard rear shell
Screen comes off as dull at times
Lack of 4G

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"

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...
