Customer Review

The Moto G 2nd Edition (not to be confused with the 1st version with 4.5 "display) has a 5" display and is for me so at the border and a good compromise between display size and handiness. The unit is still well in hand and can be operated with one finger just yet. The display makes a very good impression: vibrant colors, easy to read and light enough so that I still can read, even in direct sunlight from the side.
It came with Android 4.4.4 and just after the first time it is an update message reported. An approximately 360MB large package brought me then Android 5.0.2.
The Moto G can be operated very smoothly. The touch screen responds accurately and well. The processing makes a solid impression. Affixed on the front speakers give off a good sound, is disadvantageous here that this dirt can penetrate into the cracks.

Positive are the 2 SIM card slots that work equivalent (in other smartphones, such as the Huawei G700, can be only the first SIM card with UMTS use). So you can carry, for example business and personal SIM card in a device, or you are flexible, especially in areas with poor coverage. Which of the two SIM cards for data and voice connections is used, can be adjusted. For voice calls, the phone through which SIM card which number is called, or you are a SIM card before, or (third option) you will be asked each time and then can decide freely noted.

The internal memory is (at least for my needs) nor so large in size with 8GB that I can install numerous apps and still have enough free memory. Nevertheless, I have outsourced some apps to the SD card.

In the technical data, is that you can insert a micro SD card with up to 32GB. For me, a 64GB SanDisk card runs smoothly.

A FM radio is built-in (absent in the specifications of the Motorola website).

Unfortunately, the device does not act in Removable Disk mode if you connect it via USB to the computer, just as MTP or PTP device. A second point of criticism concerns the battery: it is built and can not be change.

One thing I would like to mention: I have difficulty with a Bluetooth handsfree to my VW Touran (RCD510) and the Moto G: from me is not obvious reasons will not transfer the entire phone book on the FSE: it lacks numerous contacts. Individually I can send them, but the menu item "Send all visible contacts" does not bring the missing contacts also on the speakerphone.
Only one export all contacts to the SD card and manual sending via Bluetooth brought success. But that may be only a temporary solution. I'm going for a bug in the Android firmware. With my old smartphone (Android 4.2) I did not have this problem.

The Moto G is delivered fairly spartan: a missing headphones as well as a USB power adapter. Only one USB cable and a quick start guide are included. I personally do not mind, because here the whole house laying around countless plug power supplies, so I see it as a positive environmental benefits.

My conclusion: a successful device, absolutely worth its price. I am very satisfied and would recommend it!
