    High end Android phones go slow after a while, this entry level is going to crawl ;)

    • +7

      Don't forget not all Android phones are Samsung bloatware phones… don't generalise ;)

    • +3

      And then magically fast again after each firmware upgrade. I'll think most Android aren't afraid of phones going slower, but being abandoned by the manufacturer from getting future updates.

      trim, baby, trim.

      • +3

        This. It's launching with 4.3 so it has TRIM, and it's supposedly getting the more hardware efficient 4.4 in January some time. Theoretically, it shouldn't slow down for a while.

        Also, Moto's skin is pretty light and efficient as it is - compared to other flagships, the Moto X had middling specs yet the same, if not better, general performance.

    I feel like this Moto G is the new Nexus 4……

  • What is the diff between Moto G and Moto X?

    • +4

      1 character.

    • G is cheaper version, smaller screen,less ram,lower CPU

  • How does this stack up to Nexus 5?

    • +5

      Display: 720p 4.5" TFT vs 1080p 4" IPS
      RAM: 1GB vs 2GB
      Storage: 8GB minimum vs 16GB minimum (+50GB Google Drive storage for the Moto G, if you're interested)
      CPU: Snapdragon 400 vs Snapdragon 800
      Battery: 2070mAH vs 2300mAh
      Network: HSPA+ vs LTE

      Obviously the Nexus 5 is better, and is guaranteed updates for at least the next 18 months. Whether the difference is worth $200 is up to you.

  • Great value phone!
    People should note that this is a MID-RANGE phone with a budget price, definitely not a high-end phone such as the Nexus 5. If you're expecting the latest and greatest for $200, you will be disappointed.

  • the Motorola Moto G is so hot, was looking for a cheap second Android phone, thanks OP!! Man it's 179 in US. Wow Motorola are actually worth getting now!

    • America pays tax on top of that $179 number.

      • Yea I heard about that, is the tax a lot? Also I heard there's like two states in which you don't have to pay tax LOL. 214 is still awesome!

        • I think it's about 10%, when I bought $5 worth of Chicken Nuggets in LA it costed about $5.67.

        • Ranges from 0 to 10% depending on the city.

  • How can this phone compare with Nexus 4?

  • Moto G is a decent mid range smartphone if you can do without LTE, live with a 5 Mpixel camera, happy to have a non-removable battery. Screen is LCD not AMOLED as in Moto X. A useful feature if you need it is that it supports dual SIM operation.

    This item has not yet been released.
    maybe next year.

    • it's already on sale at other UK retailers

  • Looks like similar enough in specs to my Galaxy Nexus which is still a decent phone in its own right.

  • tempting. when would it be released in Australia? if it's gonna be released in Australia.

  • +1

    No SD card slot, so you should consider spending the extra us$20 for the 16GB version.

  • The DSE Vodafone deal for the Huwei was a better deal at $99 I reckon.

    • +1

      I'd much rather put my money with Google-backed Motorola. The specs are decent as a mid range, but that price is great considering what you get.

  • Nice been looking for a phone around these specs and price

  • -1

    Title says "$214" - how is that calculated? Via the link I get "£135.00 & this item Delivered FREE in the UK".
