Motorola Moto G (3rd Gen) 8GB  

The Moto G 3rd Gen was launched in July, 2015 and became one of the hottest trend in the smartphone discussion. Its manufacturer Motorola managed to provide decent features and a premium look while making the phone completely water resistant. Moto G will serve as a reliable companion and would never disappoint you with performance related issues. 

The Moto G 3rd Gen featured with a 5.0 inches IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen that provided a screen resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels. The phone is powered by a Qualcomm MSM8916 Snapdragon 410 chipset clocked to a 1.4 GHz Cortex-A53 Quad-core processor and 2GB RAM. The phone is available in two models, lower model contains 8 GB of internal memory with 1 GB of RAM while the higher contains 16 GB of internal memory with 2 GB of RAM, while their memory can be expanded up to 32 GB using the MicroSD card slot provided in the phone. The phone runs on Android OS, version 5.1.1 (Lollipop), with a planned upgrade to version 6.0 (Marshmallow). The phone runs on Android and is free from bloatwares. The 13MP primary camera provides image resolution of 4128 x 3096 pixels and assisted by a dual tone LED flashlight, while the secondary camera of 5MP is provided. HD video recording is also done by the camera at frames like 1080p@30fps. The Moto G 3rd Gen has a very unique design and one can easily say that it’s the best designed phone in the Moto series. The phone is handy but it feels a little bulky when used as the phone weighs 155 grams. A 2470 mAh non-removable Li-Ion battery is provided that works moderately, just like various other smartphones in its segment.

The Moto G 3rd Gen is an amazing smartphone with its decent processor, HD display. Additional features include FM Radio, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS, with sensors like accelerometer, ambient light sensor, and proximity sensor. The Moto G 3rd gen supports quick gestures, like if you want to switch on the flashlight, then you could do so by shaking the phone twice or you can twist your wrist twice to open the camera app. The phone has a room for improvements in the battery sector as its not user replaceable, but then again, you can’t complain much with the price point you get to have this phone. 

The phone finds stiff competition from Motorola Moto X Play and Google Nexus 5 but it manages to stay in the competition by its huge RAM when compared to Moto X, which has only 1GB of RAM, while being water resistant when compared to Nexus 5. 

The Moto G 3rd Gen is the best smartphone for users that are searching for a decent smartphone that offers a reliable performance. The phone serves best for the people who have to continually use their smartphones, even when it’s raining outdoors. If you wish to own a smartphone that gives a solid performance with decent specs, then this is the smartphone to go for.
