  • Negativekein Wechselspeicher

Das günstige Moto G ist als Durchschnitts-Smartphone recht gut aufgestellt und da leider der Speicher nicht ausgebaut werden kann, sollte man gleich zu der 16 GB Variante greifen. Der Bildschirm ist HD-fähig sowie auch unter der Sonne gut ablesbar. Die Performance ist ebenfalls gut, wobei hier top Games nicht flüssig dargestellt werden können.
