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...

      Any Android device that that now does not have at least 1.5GB Ram, and 8-16 GB internal memory, plus expansion slot, is doomed to the rubbish bin. Regardless of brand, dont waste your money on a device with such an early built in drop dead date.

          It's about time smartphones become commoditised and profit margin comes back down to earth. Why do you think Samsung and Apple have billions in cash?

              Paid £74 new :) for the 8GB version as this is enough for a work/nightout phone, unlocked it as it was on Tesco Mobile & put the stock UK firmware on it, tell nothing come close this side of £200 to the Motorola Moto G, only slightly slower the a Samsung Galaxy S3 & slightly quicker than a Nexus 4.

              Those in the market for a cheap Android mobile, this is the one to get period!!!! forget the others midrange smartphones from Samsung ect they way overpriced & underpowered.

              Motorola has set a new benchmark with the Moto G, it's now upto the others to catch up and offer something better.

                                I was blown away by the phones performance and as I am an apple user (5S) I bought this cuz it was cheaper then even the iPod touch! And it was faster then my iPhone 4S! A tad bit slower then the 5/5C but once KitKat lands on the device it would be as fast as the 5/5C or even faster:)

                                  heart robber, 15 Dec 2013I heard somewhere that the moto g has a laggy performance. ... moredude didn't you read what i said about Moto G? didn't you read all the reviews or watched videos of the phone?

                                  where did you read it is laggy? it ISN'T laggy at all! this phone is really smooth and i belive it will be even better with Kitkat!

                                  i participate on 2 forums about the Moto G (Android Central and Adrenaline) and basically all the users love the phone and say it has an amazing performance for its price! and this are ACTUAL USERS speaking!

                                  it might only seem a tiny bit laggy compared to a flagship, but again, this phone excels at its price range, and you won't find anything better for 199 dólars (at least not yet)!

                                  Moto G is my daily driver and honestly, it hasn't disappointed me yet on performance!
