As a budget phone, the Moto G14 offers good value. The clean, stock Android experience is a highlight. The phone's easy repairability and strong support network in India are big advantages. It's a reliable choice for everyday use.

I appreciate the robust design of the Motorola Moto G14. The polycarbonate frame feels solid and durable. The Gorilla Glass 3 is a nice touch, although I wish it came with a pre-installed screen protector. Overall, a great phone for its price.

The Moto G14's performance is decent with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 480 Plus 5G. Gaming is smooth but loading times are longer than expected. The 5,000 mAh battery is good but could be better. For a budget phone, it's satisfactory.
