Destroyallcubes Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Has anyone seen this phone yet? I was just browsing and came up on this. It is quad core cdma, or gsm/hspa+ capable. No LTE from what I saw. What do yall think for a budget device? Think it will sell many? http://www.motorola.com/us/shop-all-mobile-phones-1/Moto-G/moto-g-pdp.html?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_term=organic&utm_content=11262013motoglaunch&utm_campaign=motog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mttmks Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 I will be buying 3. 2 for my brother and his wife and one for me as backup Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrossedSignals Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Looks like a nice phone at a very good price. From the Motorola web site, it looks only the global GSM and U.S. GSM are currently available (the original U.S. Release date was in January but they've since moved it up --looks like by offering a variant of the global GSM model). A little disappointing that its HSPA+ 21 only. I hope that the CDMA version magically acquires LTE before release in January but am not hopeful. There would be little reason to choose the Moto X over this (unless you want customization). A great kids phone or a phone for someone who isn't too concerned about data speed.

I can see this as a great phone for prepaid services. And as a backup phone. Too bad there isn't a cdma and gsm one. I'd try one out. But it is definitely a good phone for the price.

Destroyallcubes Posted November 27, 2013 Author Share Posted November 27, 2013 Also if anyone saw, one thing that stuck out to me was the guaranteed upgrade from 4.3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMD64 Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Does Moto G support 850 SMR? I think the Motorola Moto G - Universal 4G LTE does. Did u check the Moto site ? Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpenceSouth Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Any of you guys know if the Moto G properly reports GCI from LTE Discovery or SignalCheck? Looking at picking up a backup developers device and just want to be sure it would work for me. I know the Moto X has had issues with this previously.
