The editors didn't like

  • The Moto G is seriously lacking in storage. Right now you can only buy an 8GB model through Motorola's online store with MicroSD expansion up to 32GB. After downloading essential apps
  • I only had 3GB left to work with. This means I'd have to actually thin

  • The RAM
  • The graphics chip or battery at all. It's good enough
  • Like it was last year
  • But will become obsolete pretty fast
  • No LTE or 42.2Mbps HSDPA cellular data rates and no separate LTE option (or CDMA option) as of this writing
  • Limited internal storage space
  • Especially in the 8GB version. SD card data management still mostly manual
