Choppy performance
Underwhelming performance from its camera
Mediocre camera
No MicroSD card support
No support for 4G LTE networks
No support for short codes or tethering may be an issue for some

3G data speeds feel especially slow in the age of readily available LTE
Middling camera and audio quality
Weaker internals and 1GB of RAM might make it feel old before its time
No-frills design cuts out NFC
Dual-band Wi-Fi
And useful add-ons like Tou
No microSD expansion slot
No LTE. No microSD card slot. Poor camera. Little internal storage
In LTE markets
The Moto G's absence of the fast data standard is a drag
For this price
You can't expect top specs
No 4G LTE support
Lacks touchless voice controls
Lower resolution 5-MP camera
Camera focus
Okay battery life
No LTE support
Limited storage space
Choppy web browsing
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"
Poor camera
These are large phones
Old Moto G owners who like small phones will be disappointed. Occasional lag
The Moto G Plus has a fingerprint scanner on the front
Which the Moto G lacks. The scanner works very well
And our only complaint is that we kept press
The camera can't hang with the best. The screen doesn't look as good as it should. A little hefty
Questionable build quality
Low storage
Meager storage options
No LTE or NFC
RAM limitation is troublesome at times
Buggy camera interface
Specs can't match the competition
Still no 4G LTE radio with this one
Video recording lacks continuous autofocus
Processor can't handle intensive operations
Larger size makes it tougher to operate with a single hand
When it comes to connectivity
The Moto G further betrays its entrylevel status
Offering GSM/GPRS/EDGE/UMTS/HSPA(and CDMA for US markets) but not LTE
And singleband (2.4GHz) 802.11b/g/n wifi but not dualband (2.4GHz/5GHz) 802.11a/b/g/n/ac. Also present
Average Speaker Output
Average Photo Quality

Non-removable battery
Up to just 16GB of non-expandable storage

Slightly sluggish web browsing
Internal storage tops out at 16 GB
With no microSD card slot option. Camera is unsuitable for indoor or lowlight photography.
Lightning responsiveness, Excellent battery life, Good screen quality, size, Great build quality, Great value for money
A little heavy for its size, Only 5MP camera, Only up to 16GB of storage; no SD expansion slot, Plain vanilla Android KitKat may not excite some, Lack of accessories like covers, screen protectors
Overall, I feel that the Moto G is a real winner given the price it's being sold at. IMHO, Google has done well to go back to the roots of why we all purchase a smartphone in the first place – to be connected to the Internet, engaged in productivity, comm...
