Motorola's Moto G is sure an eye catcher speaking with respect to its looks. But talk about performance, one has to draw a completely different conclusion. The phone comes with a 1.4GHz quad core Snapdragon processor but yet it lacks performance. This is obviously visible when you do multitasking. Play a game, have some app upgrade going on in the back ground.
Many times when I try leaving an upgrade of an app going on in the background and play some games or just browse the internet simultaneously the phone crashes. Speaking in terms of stand alone performance this phone does a decent job. Though not quite impressive when compared to a economy or entry level Android phone. When I used to stream HD videos for some time I could still see heating related issues. The software of this phone is not upto expectations(recollect from above I have been facing numerous crashes when trying multitasking). For hearing songs the phone's performance is okay.
The speakers used are fine and I do not face any issues with respect to the sound quality. The battery back up is also not that great. Personally I feel Motorola should have done a better job with respect to product engineering when designing this phone.Oh, and perhaps the most important addition to the mix: LTE support! For the longest time, Motorola's best-selling phone only came with HSPA+ radios, but the US version plays nice with LTE bands 2, 4, 5, 7 and 17, meaning it should work on just about any GSM carrier in the United States. Curiously, early spec sheets — including the ones given to us at the event — said the G supported LTE band 12, but that no longer seems to be the case. Sorry, T-Mobile customers, there goes any chance you had of using VoLTE calling on this thing.
