The Motorola Moto G (3rd generation) is the best budget phone I've ever owned! I absolutely love this thing! I'm not the type of person to spend $600 on a cell phone because I don't use it for anything extensive, just the basic functions like calling, texting, checking emails, browsing Pinterest, listening to music, and I take a lot of pictures of my pups, so it's not worth spending a huge amount of money on a phone for myself. That being said, this phone is great for the functions I need it to do and the price wasn't super cheap, but affordable. I paid $219 for it and it was worth every penny. PROS: The phone has a 13MP camera and takes beautiful pictures for what's considered a budget phone, I attached some pictures I took with the camera. I opted to buy the slightly more expensive Moto G with the 16GB storage and 2GB RAM and IMHO the extra RAM is definitely worth the extra cost. I have several gaming and other apps on my phone and there's no lag in any of them. The phone loads and browses SUPER fast! I also like that there is no bloatware preloaded on to this phone, so you can download the apps that YOU want and not have to deal with all the junk apps that the other manufacturers preload on there. The battery life is absolutely amazing. I think the longest I've gone without charging my phone was 4 days and I'm constantly messing around on it, so I would consider that to be excellent battery life. Again, I think that's because it doesn't have all of that bloatware that runs in the background like other phones have even when the phone is asleep. I was pleasantly surprised at how incredibly loud and high quality the phone speaker is and I love that the speaker is on the front of the phone not the back like many others. I can actually clearly hear my music when I'm showering, the sound is not muffled at all by the running water. The phone is equipped with gorilla glass for the screen and is also waterproof for up to 30 minutes, so it's very durable; however, I would never test the validity of how waterproof it is on purpose. And finally, I love that you can buy different colored interchangeable battery covers for the back of the phone, so you can customize it to your taste and style without paying a premium price for a phone just because it's labeled "limited edition". CONS I can only think of two very minute cons and those include: -The battery is not removable (but neither is the iPhone's and the iPhone is much more expensive to replace). -This is not a con for me, but it might be for other people, is how basic the phone is on startup. However, I like the fact that I can add and delete whatever apps I want to rather than being stuck with apps that I never use and are just taking up space and slowing down my phone. If you're looking for a fast, fully functional phone with a great camera, high quality sound, and long battery life at an affordable price, you can't go wrong with the Motorola Moto G (3rd gen).

I'm a very light cell phone user. I originally had a Moto E with TracFone service. I was looking for something very low in cost, considering my usage. The TracFone prepaid plan works perfectly for me. The Moto E nearly met my needs, but the 2 GB of internal memory was quickly filled and I couldn't install any new apps, upgrade existing ones, or upgrade the operating system. The Moto G provides several improvements over the E. It has more memory, a front-facing camera, and a flashlight. Maybe there are some other useful improvements, but again, I'm a very light user. One thing I liked better about the E was the size. The E fit comfortably in the front pocket of a pair of jeans. The G is only a little bigger, but it fills my pocket to the brim. It's a little awkward taking it out while sitting.

I like the Moto G3 phone except for the size. I replaced a Droid Mini and was use to a more compact size. This phone is feature rich and user-friendly. I am still exploring and learning to use some of the features. It definitely has a long lasting battery. It will last several days on a charge, whereas my Droid Mini had to be plugged in nightly. (larger phone translates into larger, longer lasting battery). Takes better photos as well. Very reliable. I would recommend it to anyone who doesn't want to pay $600 or $700 for a Smart Phone which essentially is a disposable device. All in All a very nice phone!
