Customer Review

Being lynched Even at the risk of die-hard fans Moto G :-)
is clearly noted that the enthusiasm around the Moto G is too exaggerated.
I have long wondered whether I order the 8 or 16 GB version of the Moto G, until I discovered,
that there are other devices in the same price range with a much better price-performance ratio.

At Moto G I miss above all the following things, but For example, the Wiko Dark Sight priced at Amazon 199 - so no matter how the 16 GB version of the Moto G and but offers a lot more for it
- Micro SD slot up to 32 GB
- Dual SIM
- Battery replaceable
- Aluminum back

All but important points that are missing the Moto G.
Has it that the Moto on a Micro SD Slot deliberately avoided, is clear, because otherwise you would not need 16 GB model. That's the same product policy as Apple or the Nexus.
The fact that a battery is not replaceable, corresponds to the setting of some providers that a smartphone after 1-2 years is a disposable product and therefore a battery change is not taken into consideration.

In short, the value for money of the Moto G does not match the hype that is made of it.
But what really stands out at the Moto G, is the marketing. :-)
