The Moto G was great at the start, then there was the Lenovo period when they made decent phones, but finally they because 'another Chinese phone' makers like Xiaomi

disclaimer: this only includes flagship chipsets, refreshes, and co-flagship chips. Obviously Qualcomm does midrange and low-end chips as well. Some of those particular chips are also quiet competitive for its market (eg QSD 778, QSD 653, QSD 625) while others are pretty un-competitive (eg QSD 710, QSD 665)

Samsung's devices are everyones dream. Imagine samsung sells its product the same price as others cheaper brand alternatives, every other brand would go bankcrupt instantly.

From their ... moreThis comment angered me at first but then I remember, that samsung really had those cheaper phones in early mid until late 2000s. I remember that coolest phones you could get at that time were sony ericsson, nokia and I believe LG or some better motorolas... Strange how brand names change. Something similar happened with Huaweii too

Anonymous, 31 Jan 2022Lol even Samsung is using Unisoc soc, what's your excuse? Samsung has always been brand for poor people. From their tvs to phones.
Motorola was not before Lenovo. Motorola used to have better components than they use now.

I'm still using my Moto G6 Plus without any problems. Good screen and sound. Even some games are playable with Dolphin emulator. My next phone will be Moto too.

Had bought in it's first sale on Flipkart and was my first android phone. Was so impressed that , I again bought moto g4 plus but this time g4 plus was a Big Disappointment. The built quality of g4 as compared to G1 was extremely poor. Screen got broke in 6 months, and again the replaced screen got broke in few more months.

This was an incredible device. A key highlight is the incredible support that this device received from the dev community and took it well beyond the intended lifespan (Official - Android v4.3, v4.4, v5.0, v.5.1, Unofficial - 6.0, 7.0, 7.1 and more). You don't see devices such as these anymore.

Everyone is remembering this phone with Rose Tinted Glasses.
The truth is, it wasn't available in many markets and the up-price for Gray Market model was simply not worth it. That processor was slow, like 2011 slow, at a time where there was big improvements.
The only reasons it gets praise (which was worthy):
- first of the phones to go Bloatless (remember MotoBlur ?)
- first of the phones to offer proper Software Updates (like a Nexus)
- cheap in certain markets
- good device for children
What I preferred instead was certain Moto X devices. The customisablity was dope. And some where very innovative devices, like this:

IP66 splash resistant, front-firing stereo loudspeakers, big battery, big screen, slim bezels... was almost as good as it gets in that time.
