Motorola Moto G (2014) review: Baby steps

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...

Think I'd prefer to find the original Moto G than the 2014 version.

    I am dissapointed with the new Moto G i was expecting a higher clocked Snapdragon CPU at least 1.5-1.6 Ghz and at least 1.5-2 GB RAM but with a slightly higher price tag $25-€30 higher. If Motorola released Moto G with those specs it would sell more.

      So basically the Moto G LTE is better or the same if you don't mind the worse camera, smaller screen, or no stereo speakers.

        Are the speakers good enough like the old Moto G? Ouch, that battery life is pretty low...

          BEFORE you buy - take a look at Motorola support forums - people are complaining about some basic bugs (drop of signal, issues with connectivity) for months and there is no response from Motorola: https://forums.motorola.com/hives/3ba9b2429c/summary. Buy only if you expect no customer support.

                Battery life is a flop. Don't know if they think it is ok to give such a weak battery and make it up with fast charger or what. But for me this is really really bad. It's like a phone from 2 years ago. 50h endurance and 6h web browsing..
                I know I'm getting Xperia Z3 compact, best battery life!

                  Camera has improved a lot. :) now I'm sad that I bought the old Moto G for my wife 2 months ago lol. Should've waited for this one.
