Moto G (2013) review

The best budget handset around

Great value ; Decent screen ; Slick interface

Poor camera ; Low internal storage ; Extra cost for microSD and 4G

Ratings in depth There's a new low cost Motorola on the market in the form of the Moto G (2014). So if you fancy the latest budget Android blower you'll want to check out the 5-inch, 4G enabled, quad-core 2014 edition - although it will cost you a...

Motorola Moto G review

A flagship smartphone from the likes of Sony, Samsung and HTC will cost you the best part of £600 off-contract and while you get all the bells and whistles with it, there is a lot more you can do with that kind of money. Well, that's what Motorola...

Fantastic price, lovely design, good performance, vibrant display, good camera and sound, Moto Migrate makes set up easy, 50GB free Google Drive storage, great customising options, Android 4.4

No microSD support, switching between front and rear cameras sluggish, battery good but not 24 hours, no NFC

For the price, the Moto G is a fantastic device. It has a beautiful display with bright, vibrant and detailed images, the sound quality is great and the battery capacity will give you a good 14 hours' use in our experience.

VIDEO: Motorola Moto G (5 inch) review - a great-value Android smartphone

Design-wise, the new model follows the original almost exactly. There's no disguising the plastic finish: it looks and feels like a budget smartphone.

Motorola Moto G (4G LTE) review

Editors' note (September 5, 2014): Motorola has announced the sequel to this phone, the 2014 Motorola Moto G .

The Motorola Moto G has one of the best screens you can get for the price, plenty of power for the everyday essentials, an easy to use, near-stock version of Android KitKat and the addition of 4G LTE and expandable storage are extremely welcome.

The camera isn't up to anything more than the odd snap in good lighting, and the addition of 4G LTE means its once "unbelievable bargain" price is now only "good value".

Although the Motorola Moto G with 4G LTE is a bit pricier than its 3G-only sibling, it still has one of the best displays in the budget arena, its processor makes operation enjoyably smooth and its rounded, compact body is both comfortable and...

Motorola Moto E vs Moto G video review: What's the best budget smartphone?

When the Moto G launched, it cost just £135 but it can be purchased for just £99 on a PAYG-basis with O2. Motorola has now introduced the Moto E at an even lower price of £89 but you can knock £10 off that by going PAYG.

Motorola Moto G review budget smartphone

Nevertheless, the Moto G isn't flawless. The camera is still just ok and that means we're less likely to get snapping. Our main problem remains in the storage area. With no microSD card slot for adding more storage, our 8GB model is seriously lacking...

Motorola's Moto G is the best budget smartphone around. At £135 it's got great build quality, an excellent screen, decent cameras and Android 4.3 Jelly Bean soon to be upgrade to 4.4 KitKat. It's only limited in the storage department and a lack of 4G...

Motorola Moto G long-term review

After deciding not to launch the Moto X in the UK (now a decision reversed), Motorola has launched the budget priced Moto G. It's a very good phone at an amazingly good price. And it's a game changer - here's why.
