The textured and grippy back cover, helped by the Motorola ‘dimple’… MicroUSB on the bottom, 3.5mm up top and that’s your lot. The size is perfect, with power/screen button top right, as is traditional these days (unless you have an iPhone or HTC device) and volume rocker beneath. The Moto G is, to quote Apple about its iPhone 5c, ‘unashamedly plastic’, but feels very solid in the hand, with no creaks whatsoever. Screen contrast is very decent, remaining visible to some degree even when battling with sky reflections… Still, there’s nothing shoddy about the screen itself, bright and colourful and with contrast almost up with the Nexus 5, remaining visible to some extent even outdoors in the sun.

This is the first of the cost-cutting measures – none of which are showstoppers, but all worth mentioning as I go along – despite the near-Galaxy S4 dimensions, the 720p screen’s smaller at a ‘mere’ 4.5”. It’s your typical 2013 black touchscreen slab, of course, with slightly rounded corners and, relatively speaking, quite a large bottom bezel. For the average smartphone user, not perhaps needing the very best camera, the very fastest processor or the most storage, why spend three times the price on something that’s arguably only a little better? The Motorola G runs at a fair lick, seems to have plenty of headroom for most apps and games, and is a quality piece of kit with comparatively few omissions. Quite how the Moto G makes the Galaxy S4s and HTC Ones of this world look, with their near £500 starting prices, I leave to your own imagination and hyperbole. Yet the Motorola Moto G, also running what is effectively stock Android, makes the Nexus 5 look overpriced. Only two weeks ago, I was pronouncing the £300-ish LG-made Google Nexus 5 as superb value for money – which it still is, considering the almost flagship specifications. I have to start with the last point first.

The Motorola Moto G – astonishing value for money… and stock Android to boot…. Add in astonishing value for money and the Moto G has to be taken very seriously indeed – if not for you, the tech enthusiast reading Android Beat, then for your friends and family. The size, the curves, the materials – the big ‘M’ has hit the nail squarely on the head. Yes, you can have fun with a Galaxy Note 3, but hold the Galaxy S III, S4, Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 5 or this, the Motorola Moto G, and most people will feel right at home. However, whatever you may think of the current trend for out-sized screens, the human hand hasn’t changed in size and, unsurprisingly, there is a ‘sweet spot’ for our pocket brains.
If there’s one dramatic change that has happened in the phone world over the last decade, it’s the transformation from small-screened, keypad devices to full-screen touch.
