Perfect Mid-Range Device For A Very Great Price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Went to best buy to buy a cheap low priced prepaid device for a temporary replacement until my upgrade next month. This phone is an Extremely good device for the price. It is GSM UNLOCKED, in other words you can use this device on absolutely any carrier on GSM NETWORKS i.e AT&T, T-Mobile, ETC. It can be used on Post-paid or prepaid service. I purchased the 8gb model with 1gb of ram with support for an additional 32gb of sd storage. The Phone build quality was much better than expected. Display is nice and it has an ipx7 water resistance rating and should be able to withstand full submersion in 1 meter of water for about 30min according to Motorola (Make Sure to always snap all the edges on the phones back panel when taking it on or off and be sure to press the edges near the camera, you should hear light popping noises as it snaps in place.) The main camera located on the rear of the device has a 13mp camera with Two Separate Flash Mechanisms for two tone color correcting the photo when it takes the picture, which ensures great photos. The Front facing (selfie camera) takes 5mp photos that are crisp and clear. The screen is a 5" Sharp HD Display with Corning Gorilla Glass 3. The touch screen is really responsive, which is nice. The back of the phone feels fantastic it is made of some type of textured back that feels amazingly soft yet very durable. The ABSOLUTE BEST Part about the device is it comes with no additional apps or software and runs complete aosp, with the acception of moto assist, the moto camera/gallery, which are absolutely great. Moto Assis provides features like make a chopping motion twice to turn on or off the camera flash as a flash light, or twisting your wrist twice to turn on the camera app. It Came With android 5.1 and will be updated to android marshmellow. Additionally for those who enjoy android development or like to mess with custom roms (Custom Operating Systems) and Mods, the phone is bootloader unlockable using motorolas bootloader unlock tool on their website) Ive owned ALOT of smartphones in the last few years -Samsung Galaxy S5 -Samsung Galaxy S4 Note -Sprint and Verizon HTC ONE m8 -HTC One M7 -Samsung galaxy Note 3 -IPhone 4s -Ihone 5s -Droid RAZR HD -Droid RAZR MAXX HD -HTC DESIRE 626 -LG THRILL -HTC EVO 3D -The 1st MOTO X Even With everyone of those devices costing much much more this might be my favorite phone to date. Really brings my hope up for the future of Motorola mobility now a LENOVO COMPANY.

Solid Mid-range performer.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This phone gives you a solid performance for the price bracket that it is in ($179 at time of purchase). Here are some things that came to my attention. The 13MP camera is good, not Galaxy S5/6 level but it will give other phones in the similar price a run for their money, videos are good at full HD (1080p) and the front cam takes good pics, FAR better than the Galaxy S5 in this part. It employs a dual-LED flash, neat. Screen is of the 720p variety and while not as sharp say the flagships, you will be hard pressed to see much difference, I found the screen to be impressively sharp and colors bright and accurate. Battery is above average, the hardware and the battery paired with it seem to go well together, a complaint is the charger is not a charger and USB cable but the charger is just that, the cable does not come out to be a data cable, just so you know. User interface, this took some getting used to, it is pretty stock Android so it can be good or bad for you, it does help the phone run smoother and the Moto G's tend to get their updates quickly, I think this is an overall pro than a con, tastes can differ on that though. Handling/build is very good,it does not feel like a cheap phone and the textured back can help it from slipping, the back can be customized with different colors later if you want. There is no notification light, not a major problem on my end but noticed it's absence. Overall, I have no complaints. Camera, GPS, phone and reception all seems good, highly recommend it, more so at this price and unlocked...no carrier junk software on it! I use this on the T-Mobile network and get 30'ish mbs on LTE in the Perrysburg Ohio area.

Great jumping from iOS
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've been interested in the Android interface for quite a while now. I jumped ship from an iPhone 4S to the Moto G unsure of what to expect. As a more advanced user of computers and games, the Moto G feels absolutely great to use as I can add more customization options than I ever could with iOS. Additionally, I'm able to better manage my files and what goes into the phone's storage than iTunes would allow me. Nothing feels watered down. Being able to add extra storage is also a huge plus as I can carry around more music with me. Apps and games seem to run well as I tested a few 3D games and played (and beat) the remastered Sonic 2. As a cheaper phone, this is great choice to use. HOWEVER, when I saw 8GB of storage, I expected at least 6GB to be available to use. Sadly the storage comes down to less than 5GB. Even adding a 32GB microSD doesn't help for downloading apps as apps will still take up room on the internal storage, even after moving the app to the SD card. Also there's the possibility of having the battery completely drain and then not being able to turn the device back on after charging (this was eventually fixed by holding down the power button for 20 seconds; but it required an internet search to figure out). If I had my way, I'd go for the 16GB model with 2GB of RAM as it's not that much more expensive and it would help alleviate the few problems I have with the 8GB model.

You can not beat this phone for the price.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My wife had her Galaxy S5 stolen recently, and we were going to upgrade her to the LG Nexus 5x when it came out anyway. So to bridge the gap between having her phone stolen and the Nexus 5x release, I purchased her the 2015 Moto G. I keep up with mobile tech and Android, and knew the Moto G was highly touted when you compare specs to the price. After a week, she decided she didn't want the Nexus 5x any longer, and wanted to stick with her Moto G because it suited her needs perfectly and she didn't feel like she was missing anything from her Galaxy S5 or that she was expecting from the Nexus 5x. As for me, I played with it for a bit, and it is impressive. I buy Nexus devices, because stock android is the best. Touchwiz/Sense/etc, all the bloated skins OEM's put on their phones are garbage. Moto does an absolutely brilliant job with taking vanilla Android and adding a few features and done. It just runs smooth. She gets great battery life, I'm actually jealous. The features are good, it feels like a solid build quality, takes pretty good photos and should be updated to Marshmallow pretty soon. I seriously considered upgrading to one myself, but the lack of NFC is a definite deal breaker for me. I would miss wireless charging as well. But all and all, if you aren't a power user pushing your phone to it's limits, the 2015 Moto G just simply can not be beaten.

A Phone that Plays ABOVE Its Price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The phone is a fantastic inexpensive phone. Its not a gamers phone. I have absolutely no issue with the phone- only BB Customer Service. Bought phone 8/1- told Salesguy- very important for me to have them apply screen protector for the $8 as my luck had not been good. I was told they did not have ANY accessories for the phone, and most likely would not carry them. I would need to go out and buy one and bring in, and pay the $8. The screen protectors they carried did not have a MotoG one ready yet, so I bought a 3 pack of Illumishield, and had my wife go in 8/7. After waiting for a free salesguy- she was told under no uncertain terms- they would not install ANY screen shield because we did not buy it there. She explained that they don't carry them, nor would they carry them, and explained what Sales guy said. Too Bad was their final answer. As she walked out- security stopped her and asked what the problem was- she explained she was pi**ed that she wasted her time and they went back on what was said. She also said she might just return the phone to spite them- Security said- well if u want to return it- just go over there and pointed to return line. I've bought my last 5 phones through BB- this is the 1st non-carrier one we've bought. Seems like all they care about is CARRIER. Guess what- I will thing twice when its my turn for a phone.

A good basic phone
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this phone so I could leave Verizon and move to another carrier. This phone works just fine with Consumer Cellular and it's a good basic phone. The camera takes good photos, it's just large enough to hold comfortably without worrying about dropping it or it feeling too thin or too small. I have it in a case with a screen protector and slip it into my back pocket all the time. Using a separate memory card, I was able to import my music and ringtones. One advantage of unlocked phones is that you avoid some of the bundled bloatware that carriers put on your device. I have had a few issues using it in stores or metal framed buildings (think any major box store) yet I also had that issue with my last phone so it seems to be an issue across models and manufacturers. For the money it's a good entry smart phone, with enough apps to keep you busy and Google Play has a decent selection. It is no iPhone nor does it have all the apps that the App store has, but if you want just your garden variety smart phone, this will do the trick. Older folks may find the larger size easier to work with, the screen and buttons are of a good size and there is a decent level of customization a user can do.

Best value for money
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Went to BB and just picked up this unlocked phone as my Samsung Galaxy 4S got water damaged. It's been 2 months using this phone and I am very happy with it. Comparing to 600-700$ + phones, this phone does everything exactly with just 160$ cost ! Phone performance speed : no issues, excellent. Usability: latest android version works awesome Durability: love the gorila glass and mat finished back cover. Dropped multiple times no issues, Glass is super cool I am not even using any cover, no scratches/issues so far even with very rough usage. Battery Life : still keeps wondering me, 2 full days without recharge !! Samsung S4 battery hardly worked for full single day! Camera: excellent result with both front/rear facing camera Only thing i faced is 8GB space, wish I had bought 16gb. Which keeps limited space for # of apps to be installed. Though I have 64gb SD card so no concerns or regrets storing my data. Highly recommended ,best value for $$$. I am not buying 600$ phone anymore ! Oh yes, this is water damage resistant phone ! washed it ones in sink no issues :) my wife wants to switch her phone with mine :)
