22 September 2014
As a successor to the most successful smartphone in Motorola’s history, the second generation Moto G surely has hefty expectations to meet. A year after the XT1032 redefined the budget smartphone category by combining high-res screen, quality hardware...

      The FM Radio is only mono, doesnt work in stereo as advertised. Very disappointing.

      Also the Audio Equaliser doesnt work for the radio.
      Its necessary when on the speakers as its very trebley and needs bass boost.

      Are these software bugs that will be fixed in the future or hardware limitations.?

        The FM Radio is only mono!!
        It was advertised as stereo. Whats the point of stereo speakers if it only plays mono. Mono FM is terrible.
        Also the audio Equaliser doesnt work except on MP3's. It wont wor for radio and hence a very 'treble' response on speakers.
        Is this a software bug that will be fixed or a hardware limitation?

                          The micromax phones mentioned in the review are outdated and have been discontinued by micromax.

                              Anonymous, 10 Nov 2014Can anyone tell if FM radio can be played on speakers I can... moreLook at the top right corner after you open the FM players window you will find a dedicated icon towards changing the playing mode .. Speaker or headphone.

                                  Hi,

                                  Nice review but could be nicer if you didn't forget to add photo samples from the front facing camera.
                                  Thank you.
