Motorola Moto G 2015 vs Moto G LTE (2014) vs Moto G LTE (2013): specs comparison

1comment

The latest generation of Motorola's bestseller, the Moto G (2015) is already official, and as usual, we couldn't wait to compare it with its predecessors, 2014's second-gen Moto G, and the original one that launched all the way back in 2013. 

Despite the evolution of the different generations, one thing remained the same - the Moto G always offered a lot of bang for the buck, providing a well-rounded user experience without hurting your wallet much. 

Whether you're rocking an older Moto G and looking to upgrade or eyeing the Moto G family with pleasure for the first time, you will probably want to compare the three generations of the trooper and see which one suits your needs best.

Here's how they stack up against one another.
