guidomelcor's review of the Motorola Moto G (CDMA, 3rd gen.)

A Real Winner !
I've had it just for a few days so far but this phone is a real winner for Virgin Mobile. My previous phone was a HTC Evo V 4G that I've been using for about 3 years or more. It was a great phone but the Moto G, so far, is much better. My HTC was fast but this phone is really fast. It came with Android 5.1.1 and from what I hear will be one of the first to be upgraded to Marshmallow. I have Marshmallow on my Nexus 7 (2013) and it works great. I charged my phone 3 days ago and it still has 60% charge. My HTC, with a new replacement battery, would barely go the day. This Moto G is like a 5" version of my Nexus 7 (2013). It looks very similar and performs as well if not faster. The Nexus 7 is very fast but I've seen Ookla Speed Test results at home with Comcast go to 55K kbps. with the Moto G. The Nexus 7 was not quite as fast. Other nice feature is that the power button has a serrated feel to it not to be confused with the volume button. Some people might say that a non-replaceable battery is a "Con" but the way technology changes you will want a new phone by that time. Pros: Battery Life Speed Display Overall design and feel Cons: No standard telephone ringtone? Memory to user. So far I haven't run out.
