Moto G, of course this is best deal ever offered by Motorola. From the past few years, the company was suffering from decrease in their product users, after a decade, finally they brought a device which actually brought them back to mobile market. Moto G is powered with lots of goods, and what makes its so special is that it comes in relatively low price. At that affordable expense, you can expect more from it, and it is one step ahead in all aspects too.
That were my thoughts about this amazing deal. As this handset is powered with Android, so that means it brings lots of opportunity to try lots of uncommon, and somewhat pro utilities. But a downside is that, sometimes tricking, or playing with device ends to bricked condition. Usually it happens when we try new Roms, mods, and other non-official stuff on it.
