Here's our breakdown of everything you need to know about the Motorola Moto G.

Pros and Cons

The 8-megapixel camera puts the Moto G in the league of some of its high-end competitor 
phones. The phone is upgradable up to 18 months post launching, which makes it future-ready 
beyond the current iteration of Lollipop. 

The Motorola Moto G is a relatively thicker phone at 11 mm and the picture clarity is better in most 
of the competitor phones. With 1GB of RAM, running multiple apps at the same time could 
slow down the phone. The battery is non-removable, which limits user options in the future. 
Pixel density of 294 ppi may not be high, but it is still reasonable for the price tag.

Specs

The Motorola Moto G is a 5.0-inch, 11mm-thick and 149-g smart phone with IPS LCD display. 
The 5-inch capacitive touchscreen has a pixel density of 294 ppi and resolution of 720x1280 
pixels. The smart phone is available in two storage options - 8GB and 16GB, with expansion up 
to 32GB and 1GB of RAM.

The Moto G has an 8-megapixel rear-facing camera and a 2-megapixel secondary camera. The 
phone runs on a 1.2-GHz, Quad-core processor and is powered by Android v4.4.4 KitKat, which 
is upgradable beyond Android's current Lollipop. 

Talking Points

The 2nd-gen Moto G was unveiled by Motorola Mobility in September 2014 and features
many developments over the 1st-gen Moto G. A budget-smart phone, it stands out for its 
powerful camera, larger display, and Android v4.4.4 configurations. It has a 2070 mAh Lithium-ion battery with up to 24 hours of talktime capability. Other features include face detection, 
Adreno 305 GPU, and 50GB of Google Drive space.

A budget smartphone, the Moto G has received immense response in the form of online retail 
sales in many other countries. The model has in fact been a game changer for the brand that 
had been in trouble for many years. 

Prices

The Moto G give you a great bang for your buck with a starting price of $179.99. It has 
already achieved record sales in some markets.

Conclusion

The Motorola Moto G is a powerful upgrade over its predecessor of the same name. Its 
1GB RAM, 1.2-GHz CPU, and 32-GB (maximum) storage capacity specifications could be 
compensated for by keeping in mind that it is a budget smart phone. If anyone wants to own a smart 
phone that looks like an A-segment device but costs under $200, Moto G is the perfect device.
