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 5-inch screen just seems like the sweet spot for most phones. The Moto G doesn't make watching
Bigger screen
Clearer audio
Slightly better cameras and microSD card slot. Unlike the Moto X (2nd Gen) which is sold through carriers

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.
Camera is much better than the original's
Near-stock Android 4.4.4 is a treat
Feels snappy despite aging internals
Inexpensive
The editors didn't like
The Moto G is seriously lacking in storage. Right now you can only buy an 8GB model through Motorola's online store with MicroSD expansion up to 32GB. After downloading essential apps
I only had 3GB left to work with. This means I'd have to actually thin
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
No LTE or 42.2Mbps HSDPA cellular data rates and no separate LTE option (or CDMA option) as of this writing
Limited internal storage space
Especially in the 8GB version. SD card data management still mostly manual
Removable back doesn't allow for a rem
Weak camera features
No support for 4G LTE networks
Do not record movies in Full HD

It's amazing how budget smartphones have advanced over the years. A 720p display and a quad-core processor are no longer available as premium features, and build quality isn't compromised much either to lower the price tag. While this is a very good thing...

Abstract: This does, in fact, feel like a completely different smartphone to the Moto G. The jump from 4.5in to 5in is a big one, for small hands especially, and even after a few hours with the device we think they will appeal to different sets of gadgeteers.The ne...
With all that out of the way, let's get down to the review
In short, the Moto G (2014) is a great improvement over its predecessor and a terrific phone for its price of S$298. Its main draw is probably the offer of stock Android on a budget, as well as the dual-SIM functionality which is most useful for frequent ...
