Moto G (Virgin Mobile)
Pros
- compact design
- near stock android experience
- long battery life
- useful Motorola features
Cons
- cameras are average at best
- slow charging
Bottom Line
The Moto G is a well-crafted handset with plenty of notable features and enough performance to satisfy ordinary users, but it won’t impress the spec junkies.
The Moto G is a bestselling 2015 5-inch smartphone that received positive reviews for its compact design, near stock android experience, long battery life, useful Motorola features and fast performance on day-to-day tasks. However, its cameras are average at best, its storage is not expandable and its charging is rather slow. All in all, the Moto G is a thoughtfully designed smartphone for Android purists who want a compact handset with smart software features and adequate power to breeze through basic tasks.
