What is up everybody.
Muwen360 is here bringing you guys my full in-depth on the Republic Wireless Moto G.
So first before I talk about the device, I want to first of all talk about Republic Wireless,
the company that’s providing the phone service for your Moto G. So Republic Wireless is a
relatively new cell phone carrier and what’s really unique about them is that they provide
service through their custom designed hybrid calling technology which relies on your WiFi
connection primarily for calls and messages and when you’re not not to WiFi, it automatically
switches back over to cellular on Sprint’s nationwide network.
Since most of us are on WiFi most of the time, it makes a lot of sense to be able to use
WiFi for talk, text, and data so that’s really the beauty of how Republic Wireless
works.
And from my personal experience, it actually works quite well since I haven’t ran into
any problems making or receiving a call or dropping any calls while transitioning from
WiFi to celluar or vice versa so it really is a seamless transition that works.
The call quality is actually pretty good on WiFi and if you have decent Sprint coverage
around your area, the call quality over cellular should be solid.
But the best part is, Republic Wireless has four great plans at great prices for you choose
from.
It starts with the $5 WiFi only plan which provides you with unlimited talk, text and
data all over WiFi.
Now while this plan is a great choice if you’re only using your phone on a WiFi connection,
I personally would not recommend this plan because it doesn’t give you the freedom
to place calls or text anywhere you go due to the lack of cellular support, you’re
only limited to WiFi.
The next plan up is the Republic $10 plan which gives you unlimited talk and text over
cellular, and unlimited data over WiFi.
So this is the plan that I’m rocking and it works great for me because I have the ability
to talk and text wherever I go on both wifi and cellular and since I use data mostly just
on WiFi.
The next plan is the Republic plus 3G plan and its essentially the same plan as before
with unlimited talk and text but with this plan, you get the addition of unlimited 3G
data.
So it’s great if you’re planning to use the internet without a WiFi connection.
However, unlimited data in reality just means 5GB of full speed data each billing cycle,
and if you exceed that limited, nothing bad will happen you’re not going to get charged
for overage fees or anything like, they’ll simply just reduce your data speed until the
next billing cycle.
Now there is also a 4th plan available at a price of $40 and the only difference with
that is you get the faster 4G data instead of 3G.
However, this plan is only available for the Moto X, not the Moto G because this version
of the Moto G only supports 3G.
So overall, I think Republic Wireless is a great carrier if you’re looking for a cheap,
affordable phone service.
The coverage is great, there are no contracts, no unreasonable fees and you still have all
the features available as you would expect like voice mail, caller ID, number transferring
et cetera.
There are a few things that I recommend you to do prior to purchasing the service.
Most importantly just, make sure to verify the coverage in your area so you can assure
the service will work properly.
So overall I think Republic Wireless is a great wireless carrier for its affordable
price and quality.
I highly recommend it for those wanting a cheap phone service that works so definitely
go check it out for yourself.
So now let’s talk about the actual device, the Moto G itself.
So let’s start off with the design, so the Moto G is very similar to the Moto X in terms
of design.
We still have the curve and the dimple on the back for the Motorola logo so the phone
still feels nice in the hand.
It’s got a weight of 143 grams so it’s definitely not light but it does have nice
weight to it.
The back plate of the phone has a soft touch matte finish which is comfortable to hold
but it also is a fingerprint magnet.
The backplate also happens to be removable but that’s only for replacing it with another
colored shell use for customization.
The battery is not user removable.
Love the form factor of this device, it’s a 4.5 inch 1280x720 HD LCD IPS display with
Corning Gorilla Glass 3 and the display also has water repellent coating to prevent water
damage which is awesome.
Super sharp screen with a pixel density of 329 pixels per inch.
And what’s really cool about this 4.5 inch screen is that it’s great for one-handed
use.
Very easy to hold it with one hand.
So Very pocket able since you can fit the device this inside pretty much any pocket
or purse.
Now around the device, we have the silver power button and volume rocker on the right.
Micro USB port and microphone at the bottom.
3.5mm headphone jack up top with another microphone.
We have the 1.3 megapixel front-facing camera here capable of 720p HD video recording and
the earpiece.
On the back, we have the speaker grill, and the 5mp megapixel rear facing camera along
with LED Flash.
The Moto G is running on the latest major version of Android.
Android 4.4 kitkat and it’s running a very stock version of it as well.
And is expected to be updated to the upcoming version of Android, Android L. Very fast device
all around.
Apps load up very quickly.
Landscape to portrait mode transition nice.
Watching YouTube videos was nice and smooth.
Playing games like Minecraft and Temple Run was a great experience and even more graphically
intense games like Dead Trigger 2 ran perfectly smooth so it pretty has handled everything
I threw at it all thanks to its Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 quad core processor.
So really a fast experience overall haven’t ran into any lag issues or problems everything
works fine as I expected on the Moto G. So really the Moto G is an exceptional phone
at an exceptional price point of only $150.
So really the Moto G is a great device, a pleasure to work with, and if you’re someone
that’s looking for THE best budget phone on Android, THE Motorola Moto G is it.
So this will wrap up my review and I hope you enjoyed.
