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

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
Abstract: The key differences are a bump up in screen size (from 4.5-inches to 5-inches) and the fact that this unit's gone back to the original Moto G's dual-SIM 3G arrangement; you only get HSDPA+ speeds, not 4G. Otherwise the internals are largely the same — a ...
Abstract: Flagship smartphones might grab the headlines but not everyone wants to spend big bucks on a new smartphone. According to IDC, the majority of smartphone sales are still driven by the budget market with almost 60 per cent of all Android smartphone shipmen...

The Moto G is our go-to phone recommendation in this price category. With its excellent screen and smooth performance, the Moto G looks and feels like a phone that you'd expect to pay twice as much for, if not three-times as much. There's no 4G and onl...

Still a great price point, Comfortable to hold in the hand, Front facing speaker
Screen performs poorly in sunlight, Lack of 4G hurts in major cities, 5-inch screen feels like a step too far
The low-to-mid-range market has become saturated in the last year with manufacturers taking a tilt at the space occupied by the Moto G. Nobody seems to have hit that target as well as Motorola, and their followup demonstrates a willingness to change – alt...

Great size, Amazing price, Reasonable performance
Lack of story, Screen isn't up to snuff, No removable battery
Do you really want a Moto X but hoping the Moto G would suffice? Then, no, you shouldn't. I would even be hard-pressed to recommend this over the Nexus 5 as LG's Google device comes with a faster processor in a slim package. But the Moto G is incredibly...
A dual-SIM phone; Feels great in the hands; Excellent battery life; Upgradeable memory; Bleeding edge version of Android, totally up-to-date, moreso than a lot of the flagship phones we see;
3G performance is among the slowest of the 3G phones we're used to seeing, likely due use of two 3G SIM card slots; Mediocre system speed; No NFC;
Every manufacturer has responded to the increased screen sizes of 2014 in a similar way, with all flagships sporting increased sizes, even those from Apple.But the Motorola G isn't a flagship, and it's not even a mid-range, offering a value closer to bang...
Large 5in, HD screen, Stereo speakers, Dual-SIM (HSPA), 8MP rear camera, Inexpensive at $269
Screen isn't as bright as predecessor, No 4G
Motorola's Moto G (2nd Gen.) is, in few words, the cheapest smartphone flagship on the market. It is rich in features, beautiful in its simplicity and a bargain at $269...
The Moto G was an incredible success in 2013, and while it's a shame that the new phone doesn't hit the same awesome price point, there have to be some compromises in getting the additional materials on this phone. It's mostly upgraded in every way it co...

We love Motorola's take on the cheap smartphone. Between the E, G and X, Motorola has captured the spirit of Google's Nexus program and diversified it, giving people more for their money in every possible way...
Abstract: The improvised new Moto X is a sleek phablet. It encases a 5.2inch full HD AMOLED display in a plastic body with metal chassis.The display is bright with deep black and crisp text...
