Would be as slow as hell 4g storage not even that after operator software so about just over 2g storage and also a slow 1g dual core processor will be lagging like hell.

Not recommended for the OP, but in reply to JB. They just want a cheap phone to use whilst abroad.

Hi

A very good phone is the Windows 635 Lumia Phone! You can get it for £80 from Argos and it is 4G enabled with excellent features basically a laptop in your hand. The next is the 640 which is around £120! There isn't a need to spend 100s£s to get a great phone

The Lumia 635 can in no way be compared to the Lumia 640. What are you thinking?!

I ended up with the moto g, it came today.

All in all i am impressed with it, but it is the first smart phone i have had in 5 years or more haha.

For £139 i think it is a lot of phone and so i am glad i never went with an IPHONE 5 because it would have been extra £££ for not much difference.

After having a Motorola v3 back in the day when flip phones were suave, i never envisaged i would own another Motorola.

I suppose it would be ok for phone calls and text that's about it anything else and it will grind to a halt because the memory will run out.

I really don't know why phone makers are still putting 4gb storage and 512mb ram in phone now a days they should be putting 8-16gb storage and 1-2gb ram even in low budget phones.

The first motorola moto g came with quad core processor, 1gb ram, 8-16gb storage and a SD Card slot runs quite good for a budget phone.

No, the first Moto G did not have a SD card slot (but the Vodafone First Smart 6 does - so easily increase the memory to 32Gbyte).

To be honest i use it as a music player so that's why i put the 32gb card in it.

We already have a Huwaei Ascend G300 that we use (I think the gsm arena comparison said they were similar) .... shall we stick, twist or buy?

I have the old 8gb Moto G, it dosent have any SD card slot, & 8 GB is nowhere near enough. Big mistake. I also dont think its wireless capacity is that good, in public places you get the dreaded exclamation mark, or sites wont load properly when you can see others OK.

Moto G 3rd generation is a big improvement on the orginal Moto g
