For me they have been a commodity for quite a while. My main concern is size, it's become rather difficult to find reasonably spec-ed "smaller" phones. Many are advertised as small phones but really aren't (HTC does this over and over). Samsung's Galaxy Mini is getting bigger and bigger with each release. I've never been an iPhone user but before they released their big phones I always saw their small iPhone, their flagship phone no less, as a shining light of reason in a field full of crazy-sized phablets.
I don't mind the phablets, what bothers me is that they're forgetting that some people want a phone that they can use with just one hand. Apparently there aren't that many consumers committed to buying only those kind of phones.
- porker 11y agoThe Moto G 4G was the only sensibly-sized, sanely-priced phone I could find 12 months ago. The camera's awful but otherwise it's a good phone.
- makomk 11y agoUnfortunately, I don't think the original Moto G and Moto G 4G are getting security updates anymore, and all the newer phones are much bigger.
- _delirium 11y agoThe original Moto G (1st gen, 2013) is still getting updates. Not even just security patches, but even full OS version upgrades. I just got an OTA upgrade to Android 5.1 a few months ago.
- kevin_thibedeau 11y agoThat is the last update for the 1st gen which seriously screws 4G owners because M will be released less than two years since that phone's introduction.
- undersuit 11y agoI agree on all points, just the worst camera imaginable.

- SpaceCadetJones 11y agoSomething in a similar vain that bothers me is the obsession with slimming down phones. I've never owned a phone that was too thick since flip phones and those were still bearable. I don't care if my phone is thin, but I do care that battery life has hardly improved since my original iPhone. Give me a brick that lasts for 3 days
