Motorola Moto G (2014) Specs

Description

While most of the buzz has been for its brother the new Moto X, there is officially a new Moto G as well. Of course, there isn't exactly all that much that is new about the device, as it shares quite a bit in common with last year's Moto G. The major difference this year is in the design of the device, while the internals are only a modest update overall compared to last year's Moto G. On the outside, the changes can be summed up in two points: the display is now 5-inches rather than 4.5, and there are stereo front speakers. That's about it. On the inside, the cameras have gotten modest updates (8-megapixels in the rear and 2-megapixels in the front compared to 5MP and 1.3MP), and there is now a microSD card slot. Otherwise, the device has the same Snapdragon 400, 1GB of RAM, swappable shells, and software offerings.

This device is also known as Motorola Moto G (2nd Gen.)

Great value phone
Phone owned for less than a year

The moto g is one of the best smartphone when it comes to spend less than 200$. The build quality is ok, the display big and crisp enough for its price and the processor does its work pretty nicely... obviously it can't compete with other flagship on the market but if you are looking for a cheap, great smartphone, this is exactly what you should get!
