Motorola Moto G Review

16 GB     See other variants reviews Score: 61.2 / 100

Motorola Moto G is a mid level Android phone launched some years ago, in 2013, equipped with a medium sized 4.5 inches display, a very fast 1200 megahertz Quad-Core processing unit, and two cameras, a 5 megapixels back camera and a 1.3 megapixels front camera.

This phone is powered by a high speed 1200 MHz Quad-Core processor, packed into the Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 system chip and only 1 GB of RAM which is a bit low for such a powerful phone. Graphic calculations usually eats lots of CPU cycles, so it has an additional 450 MHz Adreno 305 GPU to help handle those graphic tasks. This phone counts with a 16 GB interesting internal memory and although it doesn't count with a slot for SD memory cards, it is enough to install a couple hundred apps, but it might not be enough if you are fan of the heaviest games currently available.

Motorola is offering this device in lots of colors: black, pink, yellow, blue, red and white. This cellphone is quite thin and comfortable, whereas it's not as slim as many other phones on sale, with a thickness of 0.46". While the only has 5.11" long, it's still able to fit a a 4.5" screen. Apparently Motorola didn't care about the weight in this 5.04 oz cellphone.

This phone has a high-tech 4.5-inches screen with a 1280 x 720 (HD) resolution, which makes all images and videos look brightful and colorful. Its screen uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, and allows multi-touch for gestures like pinch and zoom.

This cellphone counts with WiFi connection (which it can share with other devices acting as a mobile hotspot), 4G (HSPA+) connectivity, that is not as fast as LTE or LTE-A 4G networks and fast 3G connectivity, using HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS, EV-DO A and EDGE technologies. The uses a SIM card for GSM connection and it can connect using both CDMA and GSM.

The Motorola Moto G features two cameras, a 5 megapixels back facing camera and a 1.3 megapixels front camera. This phone also captures videos in HD 1280x720 at 30 frames per second. This cellphone also counts with a couple of interesting features like auto-focus, flash, fast burst mode, HDR mode and geo tagging.

This phone comes with amassive 2070 mAh Li-Ion battery that can keep it running for several hours, but you may need to charge it after some heavy use.

This phone also features a handful of nice characteristics such as Bluetooth (4.0) and GPS Geolocation, and multiple sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

Motorola is selling this cellphone for 159 dollars, which is high for comparing with similar devices. This cellphone is definitely very appropiate for you no matter whether you are looking for a cellphone to mostly use social networks and internet browsing, will use it as a work phone or want this cellphone for playing games. This phone is sold with USB cable and Quick start guide.
