Moto G: A Ten-Year History of Affordable Budget Smartphones
Moto G's Enduring Impact: A Decade of Cost-Effective Budget Smartphones
It was Motorola under Google's ownership that initiated the era of cost-effective budget smartphones with the launch of the Moto G back in 2013.
The original Moto G stood out in its category by offering features such as 1GB RAM and a quad-core processor. Even after Lenovo took over, the brand continued expanding the lineup with new iterations of the Moto G series.
As we celebrate a decade since the inaugural Moto G hit the shelves, Motorola is commemorating this milestone.
Exploring the Motorola Moto G84 (Detailed Review)
Motorola proudly announced that they have successfully sold over 200 million units of Moto G over the past ten years. This 10th anniversary signifies a remarkable achievement for the product line.
During the initial two generations (2013-2014), only one model was released each year. The Moto G Turbo launched in 2015, although not belonging to the main Moto G 3rd Gen series, was restricted to specific markets.
It wasn't until the 4th Gen that the Moto G truly evolved into a diverse range of smartphone models. Since then, multiple devices have been introduced annually.
By 2021, the series expanded further, adopting a new nomenclature and covering a wider spectrum of price points.
Despite its enduring success, the Moto G series lags behind its former rival Redmi Note, which achieved 338 million unit sales in just nine years since its inception.
Facing stiff competition from Redmi Note, particularly in Asian markets, the Moto G still maintains a significant following in Latin America to this day.
