Cheap and cheerful
Cheap and cheerful are the order of the day in our Motorola Moto C review. The Moto C will go on sale in the UK for around £80.
There is also a Moto C Plus family member that will go on sale for around £100. The extra money gives you a better screen resolution, camera resolution and significantly higher battery capacity, although it is heavier than the Moto C. So, it really is time to weigh up which cheap Moto phone is for you.
Build Quality
Display, design and performance
The Motorola Moto C has a 5” display with FWVGA resolution (480 x 854 pixels). This means that the phone is really aimed at those who aren’t wanting to play HD movies or immerse themselves in graphically orientated gaming. The Moto C Plus has HD resolution, so jump on over there if screen resolution is critically important to you.
Keep up to DateFill in the form and be the first to know when the Motorola Moto C is released.

The design is curvaceous and the micro-textured back cover, along with the large camera array and Moto ‘M’ logo, adds a pinch of design flair. The colours of Fine Gold, Metallic Cherry, Pearl White or Starry Black have more matte characteristics, so the Moto C family can be owned by older users too.
| Moto C Plus review |
The Moto C is 9mm thick and weighs in at 154g, which isn’t heavy at all. This Motorola phone is powered by a MediaTek quad-core 1.1GHz processor with 1GB RAM, once again confirming that it is not a gamers phone.

Transferring content
The Moto C has a 16GB memory and this can be used to transfer over a good number of photos, videos, contacts and so on, from an smartphone or iPhone. Should the need arise, then the microSD card slot can be used to boost the memory. The Moto C is configured to work with microSD cards that have a value of up to 32GB.
For security, you can set up a PIN, password or pattern.
Features
Operating System
The Moto C has Google’s latest Android 7.0 Nougat OS and this allows you to run multiple apps at the same time.

Google apps come pre-loaded so apps such as the Chrome browser, Maps, Gmail and YouTube are all only a tap away.
Camera & Video
5MP photography
The Moto C has a 5MP camera with a LED flash for the evenings and into the night. The 74-degrees lens captures most of the action and you can get better results by exploring the camera features, which includes Burst Mode, Panorama, HDR and Beautification.

If you wish to record video then this can be done at 720p (HD) quality at a rate of 30 frames per second. There is a 2MP portrait camera with a Selfie light and this lens has a 63-degrees field of vision.
Battery Life
Capacity
The Moto C has a 2,350mAh battery. The Moto C Plus has a 4,000mAh battery, so if really long standby times are desired, then once again you should check out our Moto C Plus review.
