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

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.

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

Camera struggles in low light

No LTE version or CDMA support
No upgrade from first generation's Snapdragon 400 SoC
One of the best entrylevel phones money can buy, Bigger size aids visuals, Better camera
Lack of 4G, Processor upgrade would have been nice
Motorola’s unwillingness to increase the new Moto G’s numerical value hints at the fact that this isn’t the type of upgrade we’re accustomed to. Still, the device benefits from a larger screen and photography enthusiasts will be pleased to find a better ...

Good value, Decent camera, Solid performance
Too similar to the first one, Disappointing display, No 4G
The 2014 version of the Motorola Moto G is a hugely impressive budget handset, just like the 2013 model was and it’s even better in some ways, with a bigger screen, an improved camera and a slightly better design, but despite that we’re slightly less...

Processor same as last model, screen resolution hasn't increased, no 4G
Motorola raised our expectations of what a budget phone could be with the original Moto G , and we expected the next generation to wow us all over again. This doesn't quite do that, with the same processor and dropping the resolution of the bigger scree...
The 5-inch Motorola Moto G once again turns in its signature hand-friendly design and hardware specs that impress for the price
In LTE markets, the Moto G's absence of the fast data standard is a drag
Motorola's new Moto G exemplifies the budget Android phone, but if you prefer your data LTE-flavored, it's best to wait for that model....

Abstract: The original Moto G was released to a good amount of fanfare, providing users with a cost-effective way of getting their hands on the latest version of Android (4.3 at the time). The Moto G 4G, which added dual-SIM capabilities, then quickly followed it u...

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 c...
Much-improved camera, Strong battery life, Solid, well-built design, Excellent value for money
No 4G LTE support, Average front-facing speakers, So-so low-light photos
The new Moto G punches above its weight once again and puts more expensive phones to shame. 4G would be great, but it's not a deal breaker when you consider the price.Next, read our best cheap phones round-up to see how the Moto G 2 compares...
