I dropped my phone in water and while it still works it has issues so I needed a replacement. I dont need high end so I ended up getting a used Moto G 8 gig on ebay for $80. It is the non LTE version and that is fine as I do not stream movies or anything. I also came across a used LTE 8 gig version for $120, I am thinking about buying it as well and then keeping which one I prefer. My main concern is battery life, with my old phone it will not last a day at all, I may get half a day if lucky. What kind of battery life do you get in real world use out of your G? Will there big a big hit if I was to get the LTE version and keep it instead?
Got a tip for us?

we use them for 1st tier managers and they are cracking phones, too small for me but for most a stunning piece of kit considering the price
I just bought the 8 gig LTE off amazon so I guess I will have both next week and can decide. I got the 8 gig LTE for 110 and the other for 80 do I cant beat the prices and should be able to get my money back on which ever I decide to sell
I've just gone from a Moto G to a Nexus 5 after getting a good offer on one and you know what I miss going from the G to the N5? The battery life!
Easily one of the best smartphones I've ever used for battery and it performed perfectly for day to dsy usage. Great phone IMO.
Have they arrived yet? What are your impressions?

I picked up a Verizon Moto G for $60 the other day. I use it as a WiFi device around the house and in the car with the Torque application. I absolutely love and as with the others, I'm very pleased with the battery life! My only gripe is the bootloader can't be unlocked and it can't be fully rooted.
I bought two of these for my boys. they love them - great phones and probably the best bang for your buck (or pound). One had my old S2 but loves the bigger screen on the G. Battery life (so far) is great.
Great phones.
Great phones.
So far at this point in the day at work my phone would be at about 25-30% and that would be with putting on airplane mode a couple times, this thing has been on the whole time and I am at 72%. The battery stats have me at 9h49m. Of course when I'm not at work it would be much lower since I would be using it more but going by this I am more than pleased and can't believe how much I like it. I will be able to get through a full 12 hour shift with plenty of battery life to spare.
DANG. A day and a half on the battery with almost 5 hours of screen on time. That's insanely good.
