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
