In the past, I've had no trouble recommending Motorola's Moto G line for those after a fantastic budget smartphone. Even now, the 2015 Moto G is still a great choice, as it delivers solid performance and a decent camera in a cheap, stock Android package...
Fantastic rear camera. Great upgrades to the display. Runs stock Android. Includes a fingerprint sensor. Above average battery life.
Generic plastic design. Performance isn't great for the price. Lacks value compared to the nonPlus model.

The Lenovo Moto G4 Plus had some big shoes to fill, even though it technically doesn't have a predecessor. This year, Lenovo opted to give us not one Moto G model, but three. There's the Moto G4, Moto G4 Play and Moto G4 Plus. The Moto G4 Plus is the “hig...
Display: Most smartphones in this price range either sport a great display, with a rather lowend processor or vice versa. Lenovo was able to give us a pretty decent display here, with a somewhat decent processor, Battery Life: Not only has Lenovo given us...
Performance: The Snapdragon 617 is still underperforming and overheating. A bit unfortunate, given the fact that the rest of the Moto G4 Plus is pretty amazing.
