Top 5 Phones to Consider Before Buying the Moto G [July, 2014]

OnePlus One

The OnePlus One features a 5.5-inch 1080p full HD display, a Snapdragon 801 quad-core processor, 16GB of internal storage, and a 13 megapixel camera on the rear. It has 3GB of RAM for great multi-tasking, a massive 3,100 mAh battery for all-day usage and it uses a CyanogenMod powered version of Android.

Here's the best part. All of that costs a mere $299. Yes, it's cheaper than the Nexus 5 and therefore it's worth considering next to the Moto G. Keep in mind, it's going to come unlocked but it should work with AT&T and T-Mobile in the United States. Consider it before buying the Moto G.

    All lists are subjective, but the target demographic for the Moto G probably is not looking to spend a lot of money and may not want a contract, so a lot of the more expensive, higher-end phones (Nexus 5, G2, etc.) are unlikely to be considered by a Moto G customer.

    The OnePlus One is invitation only, unless you want to pay a lot of money on eBay. It’s a great phone, but unless you know someone, it’s more than 2.5 times the cost of a Moto G. It’s also much, much bigger. And very few people have invites to buy them at list price.

    And the Moto G is now available in an LTE version with an SD card slot.

    Meh. I wouldn’t buy any of these phones over a Moto G. I have a Moto G from Cricket and I paid $49 for it. Does it have LTE? Who cares? I don’t have any desire to stream movies on a 5″ display or glue my head permanently to a phone. I have four other family members who also have $49 Moto Gs on an unlimited talk, text and data plan (at less than 4G speed after 500MB) and we each pay $22 including tax on Cricket. I can buy six or eight Moto Gs for the price of these phones. And they certainly are not six to eight times better. It’s debatable for 90% of users if they are better at all. Frankly, only a fool would buy one of these phones over a $49 Moto G. That was the review you should have written.

    You Forgot to Mention the Asus Zenfone 5 which has already became a big threat to Moto G in India causing the prices of Moto G to drop by $100 just to stay in the competition

    While the difference between the MSRP of $179 and $350 is not a ridiculous amount, to say it’s only “for a little more money” is perhaps a little misleading since ‘twice as much’ would be much more accurate. Great other than that.
