Get used to hearing the Motorola name though as it's come out from the shadows with all guns blazing. The Moto G is a 4.5-inch smart phone with a 720p resolution, a 1.2GHz quad-core processor, Android 4.3 Jelly Bean, a 5-megapixel camera and -- prepare yourself for this one -- a mind-blowingly cheap price of £135 SIM-free. Motorola's Moto G is excellent value for money, with a great screen and loads of power.
Motorola reckons that the phone is water resistant too. Moto says you can take a call in the rain without fearing for the phone's life, which is pretty helpful here in grey Britain. It's not submersible though, so don't take it in the shower and definitely don't take it swimming.
As well as the buttons, the edges of the phone are home to the 3.5mm headphone jack and a micro-USB port charging the phone and for transferring data between it and a computer.
There's no SD-card slot either so you're not able to expand it. If you download lots of big games like Real Racing 3 or store lots of music locally then you'll blow through 8GB of space pretty quickly, so I highly advise opting for the 16GB model.
If you only really use a smart phone for calls, texts, tweeting and checking Facebook, then even 8GB of space will be sufficient. While it's a shame not to see more storage available, its super low price means I have to forgive it a little.
As a sweetener though, the Moto G snags you can extra 50GB of Google Drive cloud storage, on top of the 15GB you'll already have for free. That's a great amount of storage, but you will need to have an Internet connection to use it and it won't help you in installing large apps to your phone.
The Moto G's 4.5-inch screen has a 1,280x720-pixel resolution, which is a very impressive amount of pixels for such a cheap phone. It gives it a pixel density of 326 pixels per inch, which is the same as the iPhone 5S's retina display -- but the Moto G costs £414 less. It's the same resolution too as last year's Nexus 4, but the Moto G is marginally sharper as it packs the same number of pixels into a tighter space.
Sure, it doesn't have the Full HD bragging rights of phones like the Samsung Galaxy S4, HTC One or Sony Xperia Z1, but for most people, that resolution -- not to mention the sheer size of the screens -- is probably just overkill. Side by side, I doubt you'd notice a huge difference between those phones and the Moto G, at least not for everyday tasks. Icon edges are crisp, high-resolution photos and videos look sharp and small text in Web pages is easily readable.
Resolution aside, the screen is very impressive. It's bright, and its colours are enjoyably rich and bold, without looking oversaturated. It's more than good enough to handle high-definition games and movies on Netflix.
