I'm going to say it I like the bigger size. There are a few reasons why I finally left Apple for Android
And size played its part. In my personal experience
A five-inch screen just seems like the sweet spot for most phones. The Moto G doesn't make watch
Very good buildquality
Responsiveness and fluidity worthy of a premium phone
Clear display with balanced colours
Decent media player

The Moto G is seriously lacking in storage. Right now you can only buy an 8 GB model through Motorola's online store. After downloading essential apps
I only had 3 GB left to work with. This means I'd have to actually think about the next time I record a
You're almost forced to buy a memory card to store your media files
Video capture
Speaker audio output
Pretty average photo quality
SAR value increased from 0.79 W/kg to 1.24 W/kg
In LTE markets
The Moto G's absence of the fast data standard is a drag
Too similar to the first one
Disappointing display
No 4G
No NFC
Bulkier design from larger screen format
Average sound
Front-facing speaker bar design
No LTE
Imaging leaves A LOT to be desired
Very slow app loads
CPU is slightly dated
Lower sharpness than 2013 Moto G
Slightly disappointing battery life
A little chunky
Average sound quality
720p on a 5” display looks a little pixelated here and there
Overall build quality feels more like a large Moto E

Bigger screen, clearer audio, slightly better cameras and microSD card slot. Unlike the Moto X (2nd Gen) which is sold through carriers, the Moto G doesn't have any carrier bloatware, The
Motorola didn't upgrade the internal specs — the processor, the RAM, the graphics chip or battery at all. It's good enough, like it was last year, but will become obsolete pretty fast
The Moto G is an upgrade over its predecessor in the ways that matter to its target buyers: larger screen, better camera, front-facing stereo speakers and storage expansion. What the Moto G isn't is a hardware powerhouse. It has the same internal spec...

Last year's Moto G was an absolute winner. No, it wasn't the phone of the year, but it wasn't trying to be. Motorola's goal was to offer a quality budget phone that was actually useable with good performance, and they nailed it. Now with the all new Moto...
The Moto G (2014) offers everything that we loved about the original, this time packing a larger display and an updated camera package, while keeping the same unbeatable price tag. If you're in the market for a good, budget-friendly smartphone, the Mo...

Camera is much better than the original's, Near-stock Android 4.4.4 is a treat, Feels snappy despite aging internals, Inexpensive
No LTE, Screen isn't as crisp as last year's model
Motorola's wallet-friendly formula hasn't changed much since last year's Moto G, but that's OK -- the company changed just enough to make the 2014 version one of the best budget smartphones out there....

Significant updates to the display and camera are very welcome. Frontfacing speakers add to an ergonomic design. Vanilla Android offers the best, unaltered experience. Fantastic value for money.
Still wildly affordable, unlocked for use with any GSM carrier, good specs for the price, nice styling
4G LTE
Once again, it's hard to beat Motorola's budget offering. You won't find a name brand phone with a pleasing 720p IPS display, expandable storage, good voice quality and a Snapdragon 400 processor for less. For those looking for a cheap unlocked phone for...
Abstract: The Moto G (2014) review is here! The second generation Moto G is a huge step in a lot of ways: it's larger and has new additions like a microSD card slot and a brand new 8-megapixel camera. But with the same exact internals as the original Moto G, is thi...
