Moto G4 Plus - 64G is a powerhouse at a low price

Edited: Aug 16, 2016, 8:12 AM

Phone owned for less than 3 months

Overall, a really good budget phone that can still muster up some great performance. For those looking for an unlocked android phone that won't break the bank, then the Moto G can't be bear.

Would have like to have gone with the One Plus 3 instead, but they don't work on Verizon.

One of the best budget phones.
I've been using this phone for past 2 months and I can say that this one is excellent. One of the best cameras available for this price. Even though the phone gets heated up while charging, the turbo charger does is job. Overall anyone with a low budget and desire for a good phone can go over for the Motorola G4 plus.
