Moto G (2014) – 1st Gen

1 Oct 2015

This one is long due.

After a month long wait scrounging for invites, I finally got hold of the One Plus Two, which means my good ol’ Moto G that served me for more than 18 months is just lying there craving for attention. Thankfully, I work in the mobile space and I’d be using the phone for testing from here on but that isn’t the reason I am writing this note.

Moto G was and always will be one of the nicest budget android smartphones ever made!

With a near-perfect 4.5 inch 720p display that is good to use with a single hand, a minimalistic design, and a solid build, this was clearly a popular choice back in 2014 and I couldn’t help overlooking these facts either with the budget constraints I had then and the thought that a second Motorola wouldn’t be that bad (my first phone was a Motorola L7e).

I must say that the 1.2 GHz Quad Core took quite a bit of abuse and still never gave up once, if only it had 2 gigs of RAM, it would have been a whole different experience altogether and the G would still have served as my primary phone, possibly for another year.

Nevertheless, Moto G is one heck of a phone and was always a great VFM. It came with some clean pre-installed apps like the Gallery and I do miss that on the OP2.

Thank you, Motorola.

P.S.

Looking to buy an Android Smartphone?

RAM, Internal Memory is a priority with all that bloat on Android.

I mean, nobody likes to use a phone that is slow 😉
