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.
