    Its a new phone. The screen is very decent. Nice phone for the price. Haven't seen many five incher phones with a 720p for small money.

    it's on the CPW website out of stock


    how does the old model moto G stack up against the g630


    they're both 1.2ghz quad core with 1 GB ram

    They seem to be similar hardware wise, Its hard to ignore a 5" screen compared to a 4.5". Moto g is getting regular updates, The g630 is a mid ranger and Huawei don't really update their phones much other then OTA minor fixes and optimizations. That phone comes with Android 4.3 so more then likely it will never see any iterations of 4.4.

    After buying the Moto G i have to say its smooth as **** to use, good layout everythings straight foward, good camera quad core cpu, looks slick decent storage, for 130 quid you ll be hard pressed to get better imo! then again i know **** all about fones, and my last fone was a samsung s5570 so this is like a Ferrari to me! haha

    vodafones got another budget quad core on the way

    3000mAH battery and 5" screen

    should be cheap too


    might wait a couple of weeks and see if it's out
