Incoming call quality is also good with slightly louder than average earpiece volume. the Moto X 2014's 4 mics, but we found outgoing voice was still full and clear, even when calling from noisy places. The first few times it's quite stiff, but it becomes easier after that.Ĭall quality is good: Motorola knows how to make an excellent voice phone. To remove the cover, you'll work your way around the edges, starting at the USB port. The phone has the usual micro USB 2.0 port at the bottom, and the microSD card slot lives under the removable back cover. Both the volume and power buttons are on the right side and as ever with Moto models, the 3.5mm audio jack is centered up top. Certainly for a phone priced this low, the looks and style are much better than average. Some folks find that look disruptive, but it's toned down here compared to the second gen Moto X thanks to darker metal and symmetry.

The Moto G looks almost exactly like the first gen model and it bears a strong similarity to other Moto models. There's no 4G LTE version, and we hope, as with the last gen Moto G, that Motorola eventually releases an LTE model. The impressive low $179 price for the full retail unlocked 3G model stays the same. But the updated Moto G has a few new tricks including a 5" display that's a half inch bigger than the first gen model, a microSD slot and higher resolution cameras. ![]() Some things remain the same, like the curvy and attractive design, 1.2GHz quad core CPU and 720p display. The Moto G is familiar yet new again thanks to the second generation model for 2014. In Chief (twitter: that this model was replaced by the Moto G 3rd Gen in August 2015. What's Hot: Still wildly affordable, unlocked for use with any GSM carrier, good specs for the price, nice styling.
