## Description

desertcart.com: Moto G - Unlocked - 8GB

Review: No LTE, but an otherwise great phone for cheap! - I purchased this for my college age daughter to replace a seriously old Samsung Android phone (like v.2.3!). While she wanted an iPhone, I do not have one for myself, nor am I rich enough to afford four of them for the whole family. I was resigned to having to purchase another pricey phone with T-Mobile (which, while the coverage is not the best, offers the best family rates going, especially after their latest separation of phones and plans), or a bargain model that I would hear complaints about. When I read about the Moto G being released and its phenomenally low price, I assumed it would be a dual or single core processor model, with a mediocre screen. When I read the specs on it, I could not believe Motorola (Google) could offer such a phone for the price. Either they are losing money or just breaking even (of course, Google's core business is advertising, so they probably are planning on the long term value). Regardless, the phone is awesome. Hopefully this will be the future of "low end" phones. The screen is large, but not monstrous, ideal for my daughter that definitely did not want a big display phone, but something small and easily handled. The resolution is ideal and not an overkill 1080p display that taxes the GPU and battery. The quad core processor gives the phone plenty of pep, although I cannot comment on game play (I don't understand playing games on a phone, given the small display, but that is a personal choice). The battery is embedded in the device and there is no additional memory card slot for expansion (a Google device habit), so if you plan on having a lot of media and apps, I suggest the 16Gb version (8Gb is fine for her use and I'm cheap!). If you want to load all your music on it, you better look elsewhere. I am not sure of how long the battery lasts, but I have not heard a complaint about it yet. The camera seems OK, although I did not play with it that much, and really don't see the need for high resolution camera phones, give the limited sensor area available (get a digital point and shoot, or better yet, a nice used film camera -- I am a diehard fan of film in all its sizes, from 35mm to 4x5!). When first booted up, the phone was ready for Android 4.4, which I suggest using wifi to perform, unless you have unlimited data, speed, and/or patience as it is a big file (this was before adding the sim card, so I did not have it on T-Mobile's network at the time). A quick restart and the phone was ready to go, using the standard Google logon. Android on this phone is gloriously free of bloatware (like Samsung and HTC insist on stuffing on their phones), other than probably two apps. The included Motorola app for transferring settings and files worked perfectly, taking a few minutes to do its thing (you install it on your old phone and connect to the same wifi, following the prompts). I had to get a micro sim card from T-Mobile, but that was free via mail order (note that it will take prepaid and postpaid sims, defaulting to your plan -- it is just a "dumb" sim), or from what I later read, possibly free in retail locations. I learned about the universal sim card by mistakenly ordering the prepaid for our postpaid plan. Setting it up was easy on T-Mobile's website, with the phone was switched over within minutes of finalizing online. The only minor negative, is that the phone does not support LTE, but is otherwise 3G, and fast enough in our area. But I knew this when ordering. There have been no complaints about the call quality, either. My daughter seems fine with the phone, including no complaints about performance. This is a kid that has no trouble of literally letting me know if things "suck," so I consider it an awesome "bargain" phone not locked to a carrier. Had this phone been available when I purchased the HTC One, I would have purchased it for myself. I like the HTC, especially its slightly bigger screen for my slowly decaying eyesight, but the bloatware and cost are not worth it. I highly recommend the Moto G and look forward to replacing the HTC One with whatever iteration is available when needed. I added the following screen protector to the phone, Archshield - Moto G Premium High Definition (HD) Clear Screen Protector 3-Pack (no longer available on desertcart, thus no link), but suggest another brand, as my installation was troublesome. If Spigen comes out with screen protectors I recommend them, finding them to be the best available (and the company is quick to reply to inquiries). The following protective case is recommended, as long as you know the color of the pink version did not quite match that displayed online TUDIA Ultra Slim Melody TPU Bumper Protective Case for Motorola Moto G SmartPhone (Pink) . One other thing of note forgotten in the initial review: Before purchase, I read of issues with the back, removable portion of the phone being easily damaged during removal to access the micro sim slot. Knowing this I was careful to follow the instructions and treat the back gently. You can see how easy it would be to damage it by bending it a little too far. Just something to be aware of.
Review: Best Price/Performance Android phone ever - Both my wife and I own Nexus 4 and we got a Moto G for our nephew just a few weeks ago, so this review will mostly compare the Moto G againts the Nexus 4. The short story is: If the Moto G would be in existence by the time we got our Nexus 4 about a year ago, I would definitely preferred the Moto G over the Nexus 4. The reason: it's price. DESIGN The Moto G design, although a little thicker than the Nexus 4, it's absolutely beautiful. Most $200 Android phones feel "cheap" but this is not the case. Materials are great and the curved back it's really great to hold. Buttons (volume rocker and on/off) do a satisfying "click" when they are pressed. Its screen it's a little smaller than the Nexus 4, but that's precisely a plus for me: I have regular-to-small hands and I can't completely reach the other side of the screen with my thumb when holding the Nexus 4. The Moto G feels a lot better in my hand and has a screen big enough to comfortably browse the web, read a book or watch a show. BATTERY LIFE AND PERFORMANCE Compared to the Nexus 4, the Moto G battery life is WAY MUCH BETTER: With the Nexus 4, I need to charge my phone every night and sometimes even charging it a little bit via USB while at the office. The Moto G battery can easily reach 2 days without a charge... of course, this depends on how much do you use it, but I'm talking about "normal" use. About the performance, the Moto G does a really impresive job, almost as fast as the Nexus 4 (they both have Quad Core processors, but the Nexus 4 has +1GB RAM). You won't feel any lag, at all, while using this phone. CAMERA First, let's be clear about something: both the Nexus 4 and the Moto G have "regular" cameras. They do not have top-notch cameras as other phones. But on the other hand, they are also two of the cheapest (and better built) Android phones in the market. This phones have cameras good enough for everyday use. If you need a really, really, good camera, you could just pay more than three times the price of a Moto G in order to get an iPhone 5S or something like that. That said: The only thing I would prefer of my Nexus 4, it's the camera, which has more manual settings and a better interface than the Moto G. That doesn't mean the Moto G camera is not good: if I had a Moto G, I would definitely and happily live with that camera. PRICE Did I say it already? This phone has the price that a smartphone should have, accesible and proportional to a piece of hardware that we carry in our pockets, everyday, that we can easily drop and brake, and at the end, it will go obsolete and won't be up to date with for the software specs in about 18 to 24 months. If you need a good Android phone that works fast, but you don't have a large bufget to expend, this is definitely your best choice.
