MOTO G 3RD GEN REVIEW!




On July 28th, Motolora announced and launched the 3rd gen Moto G smartphone. It is the best in it class.  It is one of the best at the low price points.  What is helping the Moto G take the thrown is its premium look and feel and specs in the low budget category.  This phone is also unlocked as well. So you will be able to switch from At&t, T-Mobile, Sprint, and Verizon Wireless. No more being stuck on a contract or just with one carrier.   This year, the Moto G shows us that it withstand some underwater adventure with its IPX7 water resistance.  It will survive 30 minutes under water and in 3 feet of water. What helps it with this is the back covers or removable. The phone will alert you if the cover isn’t snapped back in place to where the back covers will keep your phone from water damage.  Another neat feature about the Moto G 3rd edition is that it is all the way customizable! Yes! Motorola included the latest Moto G to the Moto Maker.  You can now pick your front face color, your back cover, and even engrave on the back of the device. So, now you can stand out from the crowd.  The Moto G also sports a 5” inch Full HD display! Its nothing to be shooting fireworks off for, but with corner gorilla glass 3, the display shows great clarity and not washed out at all. For a budget phone you cant wish anything bad about a screen. Now the camera.  Motorola said that with the new Moto G, the rear camera is 13MP and has the same camera that is in the Motorola Nexus 6! To be honest in way that is pretty silly and insane at the same time.  But, they havent mentioned any improvements on that 13MP camera. So if you didnt like the Nexus 6 rear facing images, you might not like the Moto G’s either as it has f/2.0.  Also the front facing camera is 5 MP.  So this is a great selfie phone more than anything.  For those of you that want to know the processor, it has 4 cores of quad with a Snapdragon 410.  Now, for those of you who dont know. this is the same SD that is in the low bduget Moto E 2nd gen.  Although Motorola said that this 410 is upgraded to Cortex A53 chip, you would have to spend more time with this device to see how well it holds up even against a phone like the Moto E and possibly the iPhone 6 and Zenfone 2.  The model that I chosen is the 1GB of RAM and 8GB of ROM with included SD Card slot inside that can expand your memory up to 32GB.  Like the Moto X, the Moto G does come with some cool Moto features.  It includes the Moto Assist, Actions, and display.  The coolest one is the one where you flick your wrist to open camera and snap a quick capture. This is convenient when it comes to those precious memories that are hard to get back.  This phone has pure and stock Android on the device.  This means, no bloatware, no OEMs apps installed on the device.  It just has the basic Google essential apps and of course a couple Motorola apps for the phone.  The Moto G is for everyone and anyone.  Even if you already have a high-end phone, the Moto G is great backup phone  if something is to ever go wrong with your main phone.  For those that can’t afford the Galaxy S6, iphone 6, or the Nexus 6, you have the Moto X Style, X Play, and definitely the Moto G! But, I must say even with Moto G being a very good low price phone, it still has some competition in the cheaper price point range. We all seen the Zenfone 2 and the Alcaltel Idol 3 earlier this year and what they have accomplished just to be under the $250 mark.  But the Moto G 3rd gen starts off at $179.99! You can purchase on Motorola website, in stores at Best Buy and on Amazon.com.
