Motorola Moto G – review part 4 – Moto apps and battery

In this part of the Moto G review I am going to look at some of the apps Moto include. The Moto G is predominantly stock android but it does have a few tweaks.

First before I chat about the apps, the Moto G has managed 3 full days on one battery charge. Incredible.

The Moto G has a FM radio which does require your headphones to be plugged in.

It scans and then allows you to select favourites. In the settings I found options for changing the radio frequency banding dependent on which part of the world you were located.

Moto Care in another included app.

This just gives you the option of quickly getting support and help for your phone.

Next and most useful is Moto Assist.

When in sleeping mode you can change the settings to allow for your favourites to still ring or if somebody tries several times to contact you. The app also starts producing suggestions and tips and how better to manage your phone as you use it. Eg setting brightness into auto mode. The suggestions aren’t mind blowing but for somebody who knows nothing about the phone and android the app is brilliant.

Moto also include their own photo editor but you are best using Google’s own one as it’s much better.

This week I have been left really impressed by the Moto G. It’s a very competent device that happens to be cheap. The camera is only average. It’s not the worst I have seen, and neither is it the best.

I will draw up my final thoughts after using it for another week or so.

But in the meantime please ask below in the comments if you have any questions.

  1. Cost is important for the majority of normal people and most people will compromise features for price. A massive drop in price. Just compare to the S3 or S4 mini.
