Moto G

Earlier in the year, Motorola launched its most powerful g-series handset to date, bringing premium features to the mid-tier smartphone segment in the shape of the g100. Now the company has announced its successor, the moto g200 5G.

Motorola has a good thing going with the Moto G series. You'd think its value-focused goal would be more prevalent in the mobile world, but that's the very thing that makes the Moto G5 Plus stand out in a thicket of phones that are most often either expensive beasts or underwhelming cheapies.

​The two biggest smartphone announcements out of Mobile World Congress were the high-end LG G6​ and budget-focused Motorola Moto G5 Plus​. Let's compare their features and specs.

Lenovo's Moto G series has been, for four generations, the ideal prototype of a high-quality, mid-ranged smartphone. The closest Apple gets to that is its tiny iPhone SE. Let's compare their features and specs.

​The latest in Lenovo's budget Moto G series is launching soon. Is it worth the upgrade over last year's model? Let's compare the features and specs of the Moto G5 Plus​ and Moto G4 Plus​.

Lenovo's Moto G5 Plus​ is the latest in a line of bang-for-buck budget phones, dating back to when Google owned Motorola. Let's see how the features and specs of the Moto G5 Plus compare to those of its flagship sibling, the modular Moto Z​.

The Moto G4 and G4 Plus continue Motorola's most-bang-for-your-buck "G" strategy. The result is two phones that may make you think twice before buying the next iPhone or Galaxy.

We'll likely have our full review of the Moto G4 and G4 Plus​ on their US launch date next week, but our first impressions of these phones are extremely positive. Considering they start at US$200 and $250 full retail (respectively), these phones are nothing short of incredible values.

We've got used to seeing a budget Moto G phone from Lenovo/Motorola every year, and the Chinese company has just unveiled its 2016 Moto G model, together with a premium Plus version and a basic Play edition. Once again, the Moto G is aiming squarely for the low cost end of the Android market.

When it's time to pick out your next smartphone, it's always tempting to look at top shelf handsets like the Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+, iPhone 6s or LG G4, but is it always worth spending the extra for premium tech? Here are five smartphones that make a pretty good case for going budget.

This year, Motorola opted to launch two Moto X smartphones in the place of one. With a lower resolution display and not quite high-end internals, the Moto X Play is the lesser of the two, but how does it stand up against the company's budget wonder, the third generation Moto G?

Motorola usually launches new versions of the mid-range Moto G and top-end Moto X in September, but this year we've been treated to the new handsets a month or so early – and there's a third model to weigh up too. The company announced the 2015 editions in a live-streamed global press event.
