Android 5.1 KitKat; 5-inch 720pHD display; 1.2GHz Snapdragon 400 processor; Dual SIM; 8GB and 16GB models; microSD card support up to 32GB; 8-megapixel camera:2-megapixel front-facing camera; dual front-facing stereo speakers.
2, 070mAh non-removable battery and the micro SD card slot, which was missing from the 3G-only model of the original Moto G but added for the 4G versions.
You’ll also find the surprising new inclusion of Dual SIM card slots. There’s room to keep two micro SIM cards, which can be useful if you are one holiday and want to use a local SIM to make cheaper calls or if you have a business and personal number. Motorola also sets aside settings dedicated to the Dual SIM where you can manually switch between the two. Additionally, you can use intelligent calling where the phone learns which SIM to use depending on the call.
Motorola says it listened to feedback on the first Moto G and one of the things users wanted was a bigger screen. So that’s what we’ve got. Moving to a 5-inch screen will be disappointing for some as there’s no doubt still an appetite for smaller phones, but as Apple has shown, even the iPhone is getting bigger.
The new Moto G 2 doesn’t budge from a 720p HD resolution screen, however, which means it has slightly fewer pixels per inch, 295ppi vs the 326ppi of the original. It still uses Corning Gorilla Glass 3 to protect against scratches, which is always a bonus to have on any phone.
The 5in screen is beautiful. The resolution is still 1, 280x720, so the new Moto G actually has a lower pixel density of 293 PPI(pixels-per-inch) compared to the old Moto G’s PPI of 326, but the screen still looks perfectly crisp and sharp.
Motorola has also improved the Moto G’s camera, which is great news as the camera was one of the old Moto G’s weakest areas. The phone now comes with an 8-megapixel rear sensor with an f2.0 aperture, and you also have the option to change the aspect ratio from 16:9 to 4:3. The old Moto G, by comparison, was locked to 16:9. The new Moto G has all the same photo modes available, too, including HDR and Panorama modes.
After the success of Moto G Motorola have launched the advanced version of Moto G(2nd Generation) which runs on Android KitKat 4.4.4 out-of-the box and Motorola has guaranteed an Android Lollipop upgrade within a month.
The Moto G features a 5 inch IPS display and a great sharpness. The phone has Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection to guard it against everyday scratches and scrapes. The device has a sleek plastic body and changeable back panels just like the older Moto G. It weighs around 149 grams and measures 11mm around its waist.
It comes with a quad-core 1.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor for optimum gaming experience. It has a 8-megapixel camera with LED flash and a 2-megapixel front camera.
