Endurance
The new Moto G LTE has a slightly larger battery than its brother without 4G support, namely 2,390 mAh compared to 2,070 mAh. Well, 4G can use a bit more energy but this extra content is especially good for endurance. Up to 36 hours on one battery charge we came almost effortlessly. Whether you can make two days full depends on your usage pattern. We had set up two email accounts and on an average day we mainly use WhatsApp, social media, news apps and make the occasional phone call.

With the arrival of Lollipop, Android also got a battery saving function. You can turn it on manually or automatically at 15 or 5 percent remaining battery percentage. This limits the performance of the device, the vibration function and most background data and can be found by pressing the three dots at the top right of the screen in the battery overview. Once the device is connected to the charger, it indicates how long it will take before it is full.
Call quality
The phone application in Android 5.0 has been changed again and further improved. At the top there is a search bar to search by name or phone number. Strangely enough, this does not allow you to search for nearby companies on the new Moto G LTE, as you can on a Nexus. By the way, a contact can also be found using smartdial on the numeric keyboard via the round button at the bottom of the screen. Below the search bar you will find the last called contact and then three titles from different tabs. The default tab is the shortcut with favourites and most frequently used contacts.

The interface is clear and therefore quick to use. Incoming calls can be rejected by one of four previously set SMS messages. The ear loudspeaker can be loud enough but in some cases sounds a bit hollow or shrill. Especially the former is also the case for the stereo speakers.
