The Moto G 3rd gen runs near-stock Android 5.1.1, which means that it scores over its rivals in terms of day-to-day performance. While some love octa-core processors, we prefer a stable, non buggy experience, even if it’s running on relatively modest hardware.
The likes of Lenovo and Xiaomi, as well as Indian brands such as Micromax’s Yu have often traded specifications for the sake of experience, but that’s something that you can’t accuse Motorola of doing.
The Moto G 3rd gen comes with theMoto Display feature earlier seen on the Moto X ( Gen. 2) , which means you can see the time and other notifications on the lock screen without waking the phone up.
