Motorola Moto G review: Little big G

11 December 2013
Having spent the best part of two years cleaning the Motorola pipeline of products conceived before the takeover, Google finally has a shop with its name on it. And it’s not afraid to use it to challenge some of the old habits and experienced players...

        Really a nice phone. Running very smooth. No lag. HD display is amazing. Just go for it. Buy 16 gig for good storage.

                Most amazing device I have had in this price range. Got it because my S3 became horrible after the carrier forced update to 4.3 Jellybean. I'm using this Moto G on KitKat 4.4.2 with no problems. I planned on going back to my S3 after the software fix or next update, but I may not now. The S3 has the better camera, but I really don't take a lot of pictures so that isn't a big deal and the camera is decent and better with the KitKat upgrade. If you really need a good camera, use a real camera. I've put my Moto G and S3 side by side with the same wallpaper,both at 50% brightness and the Moto G display looked better. I thought the lack of expandable storage might be an issue, but it hasn't been. Just make sure you spend the extra money for the 16gb version. My battery life has been pretty good. I make it through the day with no problem. Lasts longer than my S3 with it's stock battery and a lot longer than my co-worker's Nexus 5 that people love to compare this to. Wish the RAM was 2GB, but I rarely have any hanging, and cuts had to be made somewhere to justify the cost of the Moto X. The G also doesn't have LTE or NFC. The first isn't a big deal as my speeds are fast enough and the latter I never used on my S3 so I don't miss it. I should also note that I work in an area where reception isn't great, but I can get solid reception while my co-workers with their S4s, S3s, Notes, HTCs, and iPhones have issues holding on to a signal. Most of us are on the same carrier. Anyway, it's a great device, especially for the price without a contract.

                        I just got my moto g..... It feels awesome to hold MOTO GET in your hand. Its 1.2ghz quad core processor works amazingly ...display quality is good enough to hold your mobile for a day. The user interface is not different from the other android phone but it good to buy this mobile in this amazing range provided by motorola.Google just integrate all the apps of its own (like gmail,Google drive, Google maps etc...). Camera quality is good enough to take picture that will definitely satisfy your objective. Sound quality is also good to play music. Its volume pitch is loud .If you are a gamer then this phone will definitely satisfy your gaming condition.it doesn't even lag in Fifa and asplalt 8. Overall this phone is great in your budget.

                              AnonD-145833, 05 Jan 2014I plan on getting mine this week. Like others have said, it... moreyou already have sony xperia zr with 4.5 inch with flagship performance. S4 mini with 4.3 inch is not bad either and it is priced perfectly now. Sony xperia z1 compact is coming with 4.3 inch soon. So what the complaint is all about?

                                bunny, 07 Feb 2014Which 1 is better, lumia wp or android ? That is a difficult question (WP or Android) to answer. If you already have a WP and are comfortable using it, then it is better to stick to it since you have low/medium budget phones (lumia 525/620/625 etc) available which are still smooth to use. If you are new to smartphones, better go for Android and Moto G is the best in the low budget category.

                                    Hey Gaurav wen compared to US version, the following are differences

                                    Available in indian edition - Headset, charger, dual sim, FM unlocked
                                    Not Available - USB cable

                                    My doubt does the indian edition also has the water resistant nano-coating??
