Nexus devices aren’t exactly expensive, but with the new Moto G Google Play edition getting on the stock Android bandwagon becomes cheaper than ever.

Here's our review of the regular version.

Excellent review and thanks for backing me up on the 2 day usage. I think some of my followers were a little sceptical ;)

This really is an amazing device. I'm using it as my daily driver. The area where I feel it falls short against the big boys is the camera but considering I only paid £89 I quickly get over it.

Dare I say this phone is revolutionary. Re identifying what consumers need and making them discover what they WANT.

2:49 display on moto g looks better than display on nexus 5. like I always say, resolution does not matter...

[SimonElias]

How does he have the AT&T network name in the top left.  I'm on AT&T and don't see it, only in the bottom of the pull-down.  Is there a toggle somewhere?

The last few statements sums up both the moto x and the moto g. When I got my moto x I was surprised how many people bashed it for not having a snapdragon 600/800 this phone simply doesn't need it. Coming from a galaxy s4 it ran circles around it. Hope Motorola keeps this up

[KABOOtech]

Loved the review. Love the price point. Now I want Motorola to give a damn about Australia...

Im watching this on same phone with 3g yet satisfied with 4mbps and CPU running android 7.1.2 and run basics smooth. Yeah its true it lasted really a lot

[AustinKing]

Do you think this would be a good upgrade for my moms iPhone 3gs? She talks and texts a lot!

[opio]

Hey there. Good show. Tmobile is only offering 3g not 4g. Is it becuase of the global GSM version? thank you for your attention.

Android Authority has the best reviews about Android devices on YouTube. Keep it up!

[LincolnMah]

How does the Moto G compare to last year's LTE enabled RAZR M, which Telstra is selling for A$199 (around US$185) with free next day shipping? Is it worth waiting until January 2014 when RAZR M has LTE (Australian 1800mhz bands only), MicroSD, NFC and 8MP Camera?

[MoCity]

THANKS FOR THE QUICK INSIGHT I JUST PICKED ME UP 1 OF THESE TODAY AND IM LOVING IT SO FAR!

[o_minx]

Really good review.
Finally, someone who understands that it isn't necessary to have a phone with all the bells and whistle's on, but actually performs in the capacity needed!
I've added you to my circles, and I look forward to more of your reviews. 👍👌✌

[omarns]

personally the Moto g and the Nexus 5 are the two best android phone in their class for the money

Active Display...or as you call it "notification peek" doesn't require a AMOLED screen. The DROID Mini has them and it does NOT have a AMOLED display. It also doesn't kill battery life. My wife had one for awhile(before we got her the larger Ultra) and battery life seems equal to the Ultra.

[JoeJames]

is anyone else finding the camera really fuzzy/blurry all the time, any way to fix this or is there something wrong with my particular phone?

[FutureHonest]

In regards to the voice control ala Ok Google like you can do on Moto X, I have seen quite a few videos out there that when you root your phone and add CyanogenMod Kit Kat onto it, it does include that feature where you can see Ok Google and there is no need to press the microphone button at all

[Threedaysextension]

Im planning to buy this ohone. I just could'nt decide if I'll get the Global Gsm model or US Gsm. Can anyone explain to me the difference? Can I useit Global gsm here in the US & when I get back to Philippines? Thanks.

[Bielocke]

I'm thinking on switching from my battered S3 to this. Am I crazy?

[monohell]

Is it going to be like the moto x, design it yourself thing cuz I have iPhone 5s, moto x, and galaxy s3 I'm thinking of buying it.
