Are affordable mobile phones good?

Absolutely! And they’re getting better all the time. Especially Motorola phones .

“Brands such as Motorola are constantly redefining expectations of what an affordable smartphone can do,” says John Wong. “That means you no longer need to skimp on the latest features or functionality – whether you’re intending to use your device for creating great social media content, streaming Netflix or simply making calls.”

Here’s how the Motorola moto g24 is leading the pack when it comes to solid performance and style with a lower price tag.
