On paper, the Moto G defies all expectations for what an entry-level smartphone should look like. An attractive design, a bright 720p touchscreen and a 5-megapixel rear-facing camera, all for $179.
It just doesn’t add up. Somewhere, there needs to be a compromise.
The idea of a mid-range Android handset coupled with a low-end price tag is awfully compelling. While the Nexus 5 (our review) offers sublime value as a high-end, off-contract handset, it has its quirks and is still too expensive for most first-time smartphone buyers. The Moto G, meanwhile, could be for everyone. A device that your parents and grandparents would buy. The cheap smartphone that passes the time until your next upgrade. The back-up handset for when you drop your daily driver in the kitchen sink.
