The Moto G still flies thanks to stock Android and the battery life is superb, outlasting any flagship phone I've used in 2014 due to efficiencies in 4.4 KitKat and smart Motorola battery saving modes. "
Other reviews of the Moto G said that the device has "exceeded expectations" and has "good performance" and "brilliant display." Moto G has also proved to be Motorola's best selling model.
