Walmart’s $10 Smartphone Has Better Specs Than the Original iPhone

The 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.

Unfortunately, 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.

The 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.

That 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.

I agree on all points, just the worst camera imaginable.
