The company never stopped making phones, but as Apple and Samsung began dominating the global stage, Motorola fell into the background.

As smartphones go, Motorola's new Moto G04 phone is a bargain.

Apple unveiled it's most expensive smartphone lineup last year with the iPhone 15 at $799/£799, the iPhone 15 Pro ($999 / £999) and iPhone 15 Pro Max ($1,199 / £1,199).

Similarly, Samsung prices its newest Galaxy S24 device at $799/£799 for the 128GB handset, and the 1TB device at a whopping $1659/£1549.
