Customer Review

Normally me a phone in this price range would hardly interested. I want to keep a high-quality device in his hands, with installed software, which navigate me a judder-free and work permits. And this is where surprised in my opinion the Moto G very!

The Moto G back is indeed made of plastic, however, is extremely comfortable to hold and feels in no way inferior to (not like partly Samsung plastic). Looking at the device from the front, you will be amazed again, because the 4.5-inch HD display is much better than one would expect for 170. With 329 ppi (pixels per inch) it is even the iPhone 5S superior (326 ppi) numerically. Pretty impressive.
Unfortunately, the display is not too bright, and thus it is rather hard to read in direct sunlight.

Furthermore, the processor can not be a well (1.2 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 400) down. The Moto G is reflected in everyday applications left (email, notes, calendar, Internet), and even complex games (such as Asphalt 8) run relatively smoothly and the game is not lost due to unnecessary stuttering. Really impressive is mE the browser function (with Google Chrome). Both scroll up and down, as well as a zoom out and is extremely fluid, as in many much more expensive smartphones is not the case.
However, it should be noted that 4G (LTE) is not present here. It stays with 3G.

Now to the camera. This is definitely not the strength of the Moto G, but of course, some compromises have to be accepted, to be such a low price requirements. The 5 MP photos are certainly upload in order to for example, Facebook or Instagram, but not more. Those who place a high value on his photos, should better look elsewhere. The same also applies to the recorded videos.

Of course you can with this smartphone still telephoning. The voice quality is very acceptable, and interlocutors were well understood. According to this and I was clearly heard.

Ultimately briefly to Battery Run Time. In this area, the Moto G surprised again contrary to expectations. Even with greater use can the battery 2070 mAh not too soon after and evening are with me usually more than 20% left, a property which I cherish.

Overall, I must confess that the Moto G has just surprised me. I did not think that a smartphone could any good in this price segment. But this is so. For 170 to acquire a really decent product, which allows you to be completely satisfied.

Finally, a little tip: I would wait for the 16GB version personally, because for only 29 charge is obtained twice as much space. It's worth it!
