big
bright display
a decent set of cameras and a fairly good processor

sound is good
Good size
Clear easily readable screen
The screen is rich and vibrant with very black blacks
Videos are smooth
games run perfectly and gps reception is great
The internet runs well and there pages open separately which is nice
snappy
responsive and fast

it tended to be rather power hungry
than the built-in speaker which sounds tinny
maximum brightness setting seems a little on the low side
Neither device really placed us accurately on the street at a railway crossing
the graphics card will not throttle even under longer times of load
Only the first SIM slot supports LTE or UMTS
it did not see us on the boardwalk after a while
Bright surfaces tend to look overexposed
found is the hands-free voice quality is almost unusable
disappointingly plastic build and a poor camera
Missing only are the antenna band markings
the phone did get sluggish after some use
The camera tends to take quite noisy pictures
the details are slightly muddy
The texting buttons seem to be really small
device may be too hot or have other apps running in the background
Battery life is very sensitive to changes in screen brightness
this setting cannot be enforced by the benchmark app
doesn't have any fancy features such as fingerprint recognition
there is no option to move apps from either the user storage or the phone storage to
The video is a bit grainy
Moto G doesn t seem like it will be keeping up
taken indoor or during the night do seem grainy
lack of 3G 900MHz is a deal-breaker
somehow doesn t seem as revolutionary as previous generations of mobile broadband
5G connectivity as standard
lacks a premium feel
