Okay, to start with I'm going to give you a little bit of background. In the past 12 months I have owned the following devices - HTC One, Samsung Galaxy S IV, LG G2, iPhone 5, iPhone 5s and Samsung Galaxy S III. I would never try to claim that, on paper, the Motorola Moto G is better than any of the above mentioned handsets. What I will claim is that, for someone like me who has very limited needs, the Motorola Moto G 16GB is probably the best phone I have ever had! Quite a bold statement I know when you see what I've owned, but let me explain.
Do I need expandable memory? No! 16GB is more than enough memory for my needs and apparently for the needs of millions of others when you consider how many people own 16GB iPhone handsets with no expandable memory. Do I need NFC? No! It's a gimmick that quite frankly has no appeal to me whatsoever. Do I need 4G? No! First, I wouldn't pay the stupid prices they're asking for 4G access and second, 3G is more than enough for my limited needs. Do I need a decent camera on my phone? Hell no! I have an actual CAMERA for taking pictures and an actual CAMCORDER for video. The camera on the Moto G is quite capable for spur-of-the-moment pictures / videos.
So, with the lack of expandable memory, NFC, 4G and a decent camera out of the way, what's left is a phone with a fast processor, incredible screen, astounding speaker and truly out-of-this-world battery life (almost 2 days on from a full charge and still 50% left)! Motorola (or should I say Google) have done a sterling job with this phone, and let's not forget, we're talking about a ?129 phone. Can you honestly think of any phone twith this spec for less than ?250 new? If the Moto G had expandable memory, NFC, 4G and a decent camera, we would be talking about a high-end ?500+ phone!
