Water-resistant. Worry-proof.

You need your phone to be there for you, even in less-than-ideal conditions. IPX7-rated water protection keeps your phone safe from splashes and drops in water.* After an accidental splash into a puddle or sink, just dry off your phone and keep going.

Corning® Gorilla® Glass display

You need a phone that can stand up to your demanding lifestyle. Corning® Gorilla® Glass spans Moto G from nearly edge to edge to help keep your phone protected from unsightly scrapes and scratches.

All-day battery

The new Moto G is designed to last a full day, and then some. With a 2470 mh battery†, you can go about your jam-packed day and not worry about battery life. Go to school or work, visit with friends, then head out for the evening - and still have enough juice to get home.

Customize your Moto G

Make your Moto G your very own by choosing your front, back, and accent colors in Moto Maker. You can even engrave your name or a phrase on the back. Buy additional Motorola Shells to display different colors—or a Motorola Flip Shell to protect your phone front and back.§

Get the best performance with a pure Android™ experience

Moto G runs Android™ Lollipop, free from unnecessary software that slows you down.

Notifications at a glance

Moto Display lets you preview notifications and updates. Nudge your phone to see what's new, then go to the app—or leave it for later. Decide which notifications you want to see. You can even play and pause music without unlocking your phone.††

Act and your phone reacts

Moto Actions responds to your motions and gestures. Twist your wrist to open the camera without unlocking your phone. Two chops downward activates the flashlight.

Go ahead, do it all

With a fast Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 410 processor, quad-core CPU supporting up to 1.4 GHz, and advanced Adreno graphics, you can switch back and forth between your favorite apps without slowing down.

Sharp details. Stunning HD.

With a sharp 5" HD display, every photo, video, and game looks its best. Experience vivid colors, deep blacks, and crisp whites—even outdoors.

Speed without overspending

The new Moto G gives you the blazing-fast speed of 4G LTE. So you can browse the web, stream music, play games, and watch videos.

Great shots. All the time.

The new Moto G delivers high-quality photos in any environment. Even in low light, the ultra-fast f2.0 lens produces crystal-clear images, and the color-balancing dual LED flash preserves color and clarity. What’s more, High Dynamic Range (HDR) imaging helps you capture both the brightest highlights and darkest shadows, just as your eyes see them.

The Moto G is essentially a pretty decent mid-spec phone but it's the budget price that makes it really special. Tech fans will want something a bit more distinctive, but for many (and Motorola is hoping very many), this spec is more than they really ne...

We really didn't think anyone would be able to beat the value found in the Nexus 5, but somehow Motorola has done it. The Moto G is, for the money, quite an achievement. To pack a quad-core processor and a 720p screen into a phone that costs just £135 is...

The Motorola Moto G is the answer to our question, "Where is our Moto X?" Motorola's comeback Android smartphone was a US-only handset, and fans were left waiting on an international launch date for months. But now we've got this, the Moto G, an even b...

From a distance, the Moto G looks identical to the attractive Moto X. Get up close, and it still does. Though it's simply a plastic shell, it's rigid and attractively curved to make it look thinner than its 11.6mm, with a minimal bezel. Best of all, it's customisable too: there are more than 15 different cases you can snap on the back, and we're actually rather taken with the coloured ones we too...
Out of the box, the Moto G runs Android 4.3 Jelly Bean, leaving it ever so slightly behind the curve, as the Nexus line of Google devices (which, confusingly, the Google-owned Motorola doesn't make) have been updated to Android 4.4 KitKat, which adds tighter Google Now integration, better multitasking and more. This in itself is only a minor issue: Motorola has pledged to deliver the 4.4 update f...

If you look at the Moto G in a vacuum, it's not a bad phone, nor is it a compelling phone. Ignoring price, it would be yet another one of the countless low-end smartphones without a purpose. But when you consider the entire package – the hardware, the s...

When Motorola launched the Moto G last month, CEO Dennis Woodside said: "Most people in the world can't afford a $500 or $600 smartphone: in fact, the average price of a smartphone is close to $200 — the problem is, the experience that smartphones in this...

When it comes to connectivity, the Moto G further betrays its entrylevel status, offering GSM/GPRS/EDGE/UMTS/HSPA(and CDMA for US markets) but not LTE, and singleband (2.4GHz) 802.11b/g/n wifi but not dualband (2.4GHz/5GHz) 802.11a/b/g/n/ac. Also present...
The Moto G is not without its drawbacks. Depending on your particular requirements, it may 'fail' on internal storage capacity, storage expandability, camera quality, wi-fi support, LTE support, performance or some other feature. Having said that, it's we...

The Moto X is one of our favorite smartphones of 2013, and now Motorola has introduced the Moto G, which is essentially a watered down, budget version of the Moto X – and boy is that a good thing. For $179 you get an unlocked smartphone with solid specs...

No LTE. No removable battery. No expendable storage. No bells and whistles. Camera is poor. The Moto G comes running Android 4.3 but a Kit Kat upgrade is promised...
When the Moto G was first announced, we initially thought that this would be a phone that would only be available in emerging markets. Fortunately, it's now available in the U.S. The thing about the U.S. smartphone market is that there are plenty of b...

Motorola is aiming low with the Moto G, a $180 Android smartphone that lacks some of today's must-have features in exchange for solid performance as an entry-level phone. Motorola is selling the Moto G directly to consumers who can then pair it with the...

The Motorola Moto G is by no means a perfect device, but it's hard to beat for $180 with no contract commitment. The G has a comfortable, somewhat-customizable body that fits well in the hand and in your pocket. The screen rates 720p HD and is small enoug...

The Moto G isn't much like the high-end handsets we spend most of our time with, but in many ways it's more interesting than Another 5-inch 1080p Android Flagship. It looks and feels a lot like a Moto X . It performs a lot like a high-end phone from a cou...

3G data speeds feel especially slow in the age of readily available LTE, Middling camera and audio quality, Weaker internals and 1GB of RAM might make it feel old before its time, No-frills design cuts out NFC, dual-band Wi-Fi, and useful add-ons like Tou...

For those priced out of the midrange market, there's never been a device quite like this before. This is a phone that, on paper, at least, blows away every limp-fisted offering in its price range. Developing markets are dominated by Nokia, BlackBerry, and...

Motorola has done its best to deliver a premium experience with an affordable price tag with the Moto G, the little sibling to the higher priced Moto X. Both phones have Google's stamp all over them, and share a surprising amount in common besides that, t...

The Moto G is remarkable device. It's arguably the less talented sibling of the flash-bang Moto X released by the Google-owned smartphone maker earlier this year, but it's more noteworthy because it offers so much at such a stunning price point. Make no m...

Not everyone wants to spend as much on their phone as on their laptop. That doesn't mean you have to get a crappy phone or a no-name import if you want to spend just $199 to $250. Heck, the Moto G4 is half the price of a OnePlus Three! The Moto G and G Pl...
