Motorola Moto G 4G is running on an LTE-enabled mid-range Snapdragon 400 chipset. It offers four Cortex-A7 CPU cores, Adreno 305 graphics and 1GB of RAM. We've already seen the chipset in action on lots of smartphone, including the original Moto G, so it's clearly a quite popular choice. And rightfully so as it delivers a snappy performance in everyday use and quite acceptable gaming as well.
Starting off with the CPU benchmarks, the Moto G 4G posted a great result on the multi-core GeekBench 3 cross-platform benchmark. The Moto G 4G matched the performance of the Moto G, LG G2 mini and even bettered Xperia M2.

AnTuTu is a compound benchmark, which also takes into account RAM and GPU performance. The Moto G 4G numbers are quite good, slightly better than the Moto G, LG G2 mini and HTC One mini 2.

Basemark OS II is another all-round benchmark. It gives an overall score along with single, multi-core performance, math performance and more. We focus on the overall score and the dedicated CPU scores. The Motorola Moto G 4G overall rating is OK - on par with the competition. The singe-core and multi-core performance put it very close to the Snapdragon 400-powered HTC One mini 2 an Sony Xperia M2.

The graphics benchmark results did come OK. The GFXBench tests - both off-screen and on-screen variants - reflected above average performance. It did better on the off-screen tests but falls behind the lower resolution devices on the on-screen tests such as the Sony Xperia M2, M2 Aqua and LG G2 mini.

The BrowserMark 2.1 tests HTML 5 performance, while Mozilla's Kraken 1.1 is JavaScript-centric. The Motorola Moto G 4G managed a great score in BrowserMark and came on par with its siblings on Kraken.

Moto G 4G and its Snapdragon 400 chipset offers good overall performance. It may not top any charts, but what's really matters is real-life usage and it is great. The Android OS is as smooth as butter with no lag whatsoever, while most of the popular games run just fine.
