The Moto G, now in its third generation, is positioned as a mid-range vanilla Android experience at a really great price. It's water-resistant, has interchangeable back plates, and has a front-facing speaker that is loud and clear. It's powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 quad-core CPU with the Adreno 306 GPU. Depending on capacity (8 and 16GB are available), the phone has 1 or 2GB of RAM. The 13MP camera can take 1080p video, and the display is 5.0" at 720p resolution.

Reviewers say: Battery life on the Moto G is fantastic, as is the performance. Fit and finish is above expectations for this price point, but the camera produces inconsistent results. Another downside for this phone is the display, which is only 720p resolution and offers "dull" colors. But ultimately, it's hard to fault the Moto G 2015 due to its incredible price.
