Moto G (4th Gen.) Unlocked - Black - 32GB

Lets start this review with what you are getting for the money. First off you are getting a 1.5 gHz octacore processor with a decent gpu (adreno 405), a 5.5 FHD (1080x1920-401ppi) display that gets plenty bright in the daylight sun, 2 GB of RAM, 16 GB of internal storage, a 3000 mAh battery, quick charge or as Motorola calls it turbo charge, a 13 MP camera with dual tone LED flash, a front facing camera with 5 MP, and a clean uninterrupted build of Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow.So now that we got the specs out of the way lets go ahead and get to what really matters; real life usage. So I bought this phone because I needed a quick replacement. I was rocking a BLU Life One X and it was a good phone with terrible manufacturer software support. So I go rid of it. I then was using an LG K7 that was nothing more than a backup phone for a short while until I got a new one. I am a broke college student so I wanted to make sure I spent my money wisely. I read reviews on this device saying that it doesn't have a premium build, it doesn't the most features, and it doesn't have this and it doesn't have that. Well when it comes down to it this phone works great. The overall usage of this device is quite strenuous. I watch an ungodly amount of YouTube on my free time, I play this game where you walk around and find mythical animals and pretend to catch them (ahem), and I also use this phone pretty heavily for texting, email, video chat, and phone calls. I may be a broke college student but I am one who is busy and needs a solid phone when my laptop is not accessible. This device breezes through the basics and the more demanding things with no hiccup. I attribute this to a couple of things. First off in the decent processor. In reviews you will hear that the Snapdragon 617 is underpowered and that it just lags terribly often. I have not found this to be the case. I haven't experienced any noticeable lag or stutter. I also attribute the smooth performance to Moto's software choice. They didn't add a bunch of extra features or gimmicks. They simply gave us stock Android with some basic additions that should be on every phone such as chop twice for flashlight, and twist the wrist twice for camera. That is why this phone works so flawlessly. Now lets talk about battery life. The first day I got this device I was not satisfied with the battery performance because it seemed to drain very fast. Now that I have had the phone for about a 1 and half to 2 weeks the battery life has managed to last from about 8:30 in the morning to about 11:30 at night with about 30% battery left. I consider this very good because I am relatively heavy user. Even if you do use more battery than me Moto supplies a turbo charger in the box which charges my phone from about 15% to 75%-80% in about 30 minutes or less. In other words battery life is not an issue. When it comes to the display I found it to be more on the warm side, which I like because the colors look very true to life. It's not groundbreaking but it is beautiful. Camera performance has also been very good. While it won't be knocking the Galaxy S7 off the top anytime soon, this is the best camera in the $200 price range. In good light pictures look very, very good and sharp with more than enough detail. Don't expect amazing low light pictures though for sub $200. Front facing camera does what it is supposed to do and will take good selfies for those narcissistic people in your family. The speaker on this device is also surprisingly good. It is a single firing front facing loud speaker that gets plenty loud and has very clear and rich sound. If Moto could have added one more on the bottom since there is not fingerprint scanner this would just be the icing on the cake. Now for the price point and the market I understand why people don't like the build of this phone. It used to be that you needed to spend upwards of $600 in order to get a premium metal body or a "glass sandwich". You no longer need to however. However I find this device to well out perform other phones at this price range. And in any case, the build on this device is solid. It may be all plastic but I think that this phone can take quite a few drops. It also feels very good in the hand.So what is my final verdict. I think that this device is the best $200 dollar phone that money can buy. I also think this is the longest lasting phone that money can buy in this price range for one simple reason....updates. All of these other $200 phones may be slightly more feature rich to start, but when this phone gets updated to 7.0 Nougat the others will be in the dust. It is a simple phone that does a lot of things well.

I've had the Moto G for a few months now and I all I can say is that for the price this phone is awesome. First, this phone isn't going to compete with flagship phones in the price range of $500 to $700, but if you are considering purchasing this phone, you probably already know that. The Moto G is a great phone. I have used it with T-Mobile, Telcel (Mexico), and Cricket Wireless all with no problems. Just pop the back cover off, insert the SIM, and BOOM you're good to go. It's a good size phone, I also have an LG V10 (I love that phone too) and sometimes I put my SIM into the Moto G just because I like the Moto G so much. The battery life on the Moto G is great. I can go all day and more on one full charge. I mean the battery literally lasts all day for me. Now, I'm not streaming videos or doing Facebook or anything like that. I mostly send text messages via Google Voice, Whatsapp, and Google Messenger. I'm not going to lie, I really like my LG V10, but if you are just going to be doing really basic things the Moto G is the way to go. It only comes with 2GB of RAM, while the LG V10 comes with 4, but the Moto G is running an almost stock version of Android. There is no bloatware, additional skins, or unnecessary apps to slow this little guy down, so this phone is pretty snappy and responsive. I think it only comes with a dozen or so Google Apps out of the box. It supports up to a 128 SD card, the 13MP camera is pretty decent, you're able to record some nice 1080p HD video, and the Bluetooth works fine. The only gripe I have about this phone is that the battery isn't removable, my LG V10 does so if the battery dies on this phone, you're pretty much left with no option but getting a new phone. I've been using the Moto G as my main phone for the past couple of weeks just because I do like the pure Android and battery life on it. Like I said before, it's not going to compete with the more expensive phones, but this phone is great for a starter phone for a teenager, a backup phone in case you lose your main, or just don't want to lug around a big phone if you know you're gonna be out all day.

Muy buen celular si estás buscando uno de gama media, ideal si no tienes pensado cargarle muchas aplicaciones que requieran mucha RAM. Fácil de usar, su SO es muy amigable.

Really good phone. Brand new. Good condition. The only thing is battery went bad since the new android update for few days. I had to reset it and now it is like before. And for that I was a bit mad against motorolla/Lenovo because they did not really helped the customer. Otherwise I would recomend the phone to anybody.

Hay todo un mercado aquí en Amazon para reemplazar los botones que no le duran ni dos meses antes de que se rompen por el plástico barato que usan. Me sucedió a mí con el botón de encendido, y al celular de mi madre incluso con ambos botones de volumen también.Las cámaras son baratas y no toman buenas fotos a menos que haya buena iluminación, y aún así hay mucho que desear.Definitivamente vale el costo en todos los demás aspectos si estás dispuesto a encender la pantalla con el sensor, apagarlo con un desliz del dedo en vez de un botón, y olvidarte completamente del cargado turbo ya que la conexión USB es frágil desgastándose con el tiempo, necesitando agarrarle maña para que se cargue bien.Fuera de estos detalles, ha sido una buena compra, aunque espero que hayan arreglado estos detalles con las nuevas generaciones.

Good phone, long battery, could've had a better camera

Everything works fine. No issues found: battery life is quite long and no defects on device. The charger has a small scratch in it but it's the charger so it doesn't bother me at all. Also arrived early.
