Smartphones tend to be expensive products when you factor in all the costs associated with them, whether or not you buy them outright or on contract. The Moto G is very much an exception to that rule, offering a quality design and feature set that delivers solid performance and a serious bang for your buck. It does this with some trade-offs, mind you, but if your needs don’t necessarily require those things, you may find that this is the right phone to go with when you’re on a budget or new to smartphones.
