Should I Buy the Motorola Moto G?
The Motorola Moto G is the finest £135 phone ever made. It’s not perfect and it doesn’t have everything that a more expensive phone has, but at every turn Motorola seems to have made the right design decisions, while pushing the price down even further than penny-pinchers ZTE and Huawei have done in recent years.
This is a phone that can do almost everything a Nexus 5 can – or at least everything 90 per cent of the population would want to do with the phone. If you want a sub-£150, or even sub-£200, phone, this is the one to go for.
It's more powerful than more expensive competitiors like the HTC Desire 500 and Sony Xperia M, but it's the screen that seals the deal. It's just in a different league to rivals.
Verdict
The Motorola Moto G is one of the best phones of the year, and the first time we’ve seen a phone of this calibre launch at under £200 SIM-free. That it’s so much cheaper than £200 is a minor miracle. This phone deserves to sell by the bucketload.
If you need a microSD card reader this should work in theory as the MotoG supports USB OTG:

sorted byI wrote this on the other thread about this phone
Got my phone now - That took a LOT of work.
Its a nice looking phone quite similar to my Huawei G300 but I assume will be quicker and the screen is a little bigger and nicer
Its a micro SIM card which I have to get sorted
Got a cover from Amazon HERE which was like 99p when I bought it (now £1.89) but its nice enough and fits well
Also got the unlock code from THIS BLOKE who is fast and helpful but I have not tried the code yet as I need a micro SIM card
HERE is more support information on the phone from Motorola

Oh sorry, I didn't realise I was talking to someone incapable of rational debate.
Carry on, enjoy your blissful ignorance.
This is an offer for a phone without a microSD slot. If you are looking for 'rational debate', I'd suggest The Oxford Union.
Moreover, if you need a microSD slot, then why not buy an iPhone or a Nexus 5?
Oh wait ....
There's No Limit?
It's on the Tesco website (but out of stock).
Also, remember if you're a gmail user you can use the '+' character to make aliases. i.e. joe_blogs+tesco@gmail.com would be a "new" address in the eyes of Tesco but all emails will go to joe_blogs@gmail.com.
(sorry for the spam, Joe)

Why do you keep replying yet avoiding addressing what I'm saying?
Let's go back a few steps, before someone decides what phone they should buy to suit their needs (which is the stage you seem to be stuck at). Get into the mind of a phone designer/manufacturer. How can you justify to yourself leaving out expandable memory and alienating a raft of potential customers? It can't be cost, it can't be that nobody wants it any more, it can't be because it would have a negative impact on form-factor.
Think about it, because I genuinely want to understand how this can be a sensible decision that's not ONLY to Google/Moto's advantage.
Result
I have returned mine to Tesco for a refund, as the replacement was not available. Tesco customer service is rubbish, nobody has a clue what's going on and they just keep forwarding the calls to another department. It's at times like these I appreciate how wonderful amazon is.
This is the one i used and it worked for me.
does that make mines free? no . why do people post things like that. i bought 2 with clubcard vouchers . to say free would be misleading
Collected a 3DS with no ID from tesco. Maybe they forgot to check?
Asda on the other hand, girlfriends name on account but my card used as payment, couldn't collect it because I wasn't her...
I collected mine from a Tesco yesterday...and the order was in my wifes name. I just took the order e-mail. They didn't ask for ID..just asked for a signature.
Not at this price it isn't!
(I could cancel that, but tbh I'm happy with the other order - S3-mini.)
Edit - heat added.

Motorola Moto G – Screen
The Motorola Moto G’s most impressive feature is its screen. This is the first time we’ve seen a 720p screen on a phone that costs less than £140.
This gives the phone the sort of ultra-sharp text and images that we’ve only seen in much more expensive phones to date. 720p resolution stretched across a 4.5-inch display gives a pixel density rating of 329 pixels per inch (ppi). Higher-end Androids may offer 1080p screens these days, but that’s still higher than the ppi rating of the iPhone 5S (326ppi).
Such a sharp screen makes small text easily readable in the browser. It makes 3D games look a lot less ‘jaggy’ than they would on most rivals, too, which tend to have 800 x 480 pixel screens at this price.
Resolution is not everything, but general image quality is good too. The Motorola Moto G uses an IPS display, the same type used in both the HTC One and iPhone 5S, and it's a good one.
Performance is stellar for the price. Colours are well-saturated and vivid, contrast is strong and the evenness of the backlight is on-par with phones costing several times the price. It doesn’t look quite as natural as a top £500 phone’s screen, especially at top brightness, but this is undoubtedly the best phone screen we’ve seen at the price from a major manufacturer.
What’s also seriously impressive is that Motorola has used Gorilla Glass 3 as the screen covering. This toughened glass layer means the phone is less prone to flexing under pressure and scratching than most low-cost phones. Gorilla Glass is not unheard of in the sub-£200 market, though – the LG L7 II and Huawei Ascend G510 have it, although others tend to use ‘unbranded’ toughened glass.
Good work ignoring the rest of my points.
You realise it would cost them pennies to include a microSD slot right? Please, go ahead and justify the move.
I couldn't care less about a microSD slot.
If I cared, I'd buy a phone with a microSD slot.
Jeez, what is it with you folks? This phone is £89 for most people with an ounce of savvy and much cheaper if you have clubcard vouchers. I can't imagine even at standard rrp Motorola/Google are making much on this phone. Why would anyone have to justify the non-inclusion of a non-essential component on a phone of this price anyway?? It's not for you, accept it and move on. Staying in this thread is only making you angry, bizarrely.

They can buy the Galaxy S3 at £200+ or the Huawei Y300 at £60!
Oh! But wait! One is double the price and the other ones is crap.
I suspect they will all buy the Alcatel when its out.
I doubt they will though since its an Alcatel and will cost more than the Moto G from Tesco,and end up buying a £300+ phone anyway,not a £100 even if it had a microSD card slot and a 720P screen. They might go onto how the phone looks,etc.
They are not the target market of this phone,which is for a low cost jobbie with decent specs. However,the same lot were derping over the Nexus4 even though it was significantly cheaper than any similar phone too,and ending up justifying a £400 to £500 phone instead of a £250 one.
Its all false crocodile tears. You want a microSD and a 720P screen,there are plenty of more expensive phones which have those facilities. They should spend the extra money and be happy,smug in the comfort they can put their entire educational video collection on their phone and squint while trying to watch it on a 4.5" screen. That is if they can get a seat on most rush hour trains or buses. I don't think using your phone to watch videos while driving is advisable anyway.
Having said that knowing the battery life of most high end phones,the phone will probably die at the most inopportune moment.

Cool.So that is the reason you were posting in this thread. Its very clear now. Since obviously you don't need to keep posting in this thread to feel better about(and jusitfy) your own recent purchases,I assume you won't be posting here anymore. Bye then!

The 16GB is £129.00; £119.00 or less with code + vouchers
You've simple leached another deal which went hot!
The problem with the S2 is that it only has 2Gb of storage space allocated (partitioned) to apps. anything above that has to go to SDCARD which in the case of the S2 actually means the remaining internal memory (not the extra 32Gb microSD - called ExternalSD)
the moto G (and most other newer phones) have unified storage, meaning the whole of the storage is shared between apps and extra media such as MP3 and photos.
the upside is that as long as there is space on the phone, you can keep adding more and more apps, or photos or music etc until the whole phone is full.
the downside is that you can't connect the phone to your PC as USB storage, only MTP (media transfer protocol) or PTP (photo transfer protocol) either of which usually need drivers on the computer, making it so you often can't connect your phone to non-computer devices that can normally read USB sticks. like smart TV's or car stereos
I only bought an 8 but got sent a 16
Will not work with a GiffGaff sim, will need to be unlocked.
community.giffgaff.com/t5/…445
Everyone forgets now there are different types of locking (which can be phone specific i.e some older phones don't have the software to allow it, and also depending where you bought the phone) This phone is both Network Locked and Service Provider locked. In the "ole days" phones where just Network locked meaning you could use Tesco/Giffgaff in an O2 locked phone or Ovivo/Asda in a Vodaphone locked phone etc. Unlock code will lift this though.
cold.
Do I?
Thanks for that info. Despite the fact I hardly ever listen to music, and I know where I'm going, I'll be sure to install those.
Don't know how I'd muddle by without people like you to keep me right.

oO
Because many people (myself included) use a phone as a phone and not as a portable music player/console/camera. 8GB is plenty for a phone + some great apps!
