Motorola Moto G 2 - Pros & Cons

Motorola Moto G 2

Pros

  • Smooth performance without lags
  • good price
  • great screen and tasteful design
  • simple
  • fuss-free software and a pretty straightforward design
  • colour tone looks natural and the slightly warm white balance is very easy on the eyes
  • good smartphone at a budget-friendly price point
  • contours are nice and smooth
  • the camera performance was still a lot better than I anticipated
  • Moto G is smooth as well
  • overall performance is more than satisfactory

Cons

  • a very big improvement over older version
  • slow load speeds of certain apps
  • slow at times
  • issues: apps are often quite slow to load
  • Android Lollipop actually leaves the phone feeling slower than the original did two years ago
  • no software bloat to slow the Moto G down
  • It also fails under low light conditions
  • Motorola had made in the first Moto G was the lack of additional storage
  • bright enough and has bad sunlight visibility
  • 2014 model to have a slightly softer screen
  • Motorola to put a full HD screen on this one
