Both the power button and volume rocker are located on the right side of the phone, and the power button has the same texture to it as the Nexus 6 and Moto E, which makes it easy to tell apart from the volume rocker. The sides are flat on the edge that meets the display, and curved on the edge that meets the back cover. It has speakers sitting above and below the display, and a front facing camera sitting to the right of the upper speaker. When it comes to the front face and sides the 2015 Moto G continues to share a design with Motorola's other devices. Being a mid-range smartphone, the Moto G is made primarily of plastic. While Moto Maker allows users to customize their devices to some extent, more expensive devices may have special options like wood back covers, and may have metal frames around the chassis rather than plastic ones. The big difference between Motorola's devices is the materials that are used. All of their devices, from the Moto E all the way up to the Nexus 6, have essentially the same chassis shape with differing dimensions. DesignĪt this point, Motorola's industrial design is fairly well known and understood.

We're still looking at a 5" 1280x720 IPS display, and with WiFi and Bluetooth you get 2.4GHz 802.11n and Bluetooth 4.0 LE. The front-facing camera also jumps from a 2MP to a 5MP sensor.Ĭonnectivity and the display don't see any improvements with this upgrade. This means that pixel size drops from 1.3 micron to 1.12, and low light scenarios may see a reduction in image quality as a result, but the wider F/2.0 aperture can help to offset this. The sensor size increases from 1/3.2" to 1/3.06", and the resolution is bumped to 13MP from 8MP. The rear-facing camera moves from Sony's IMX179 sensor to IMX214 which interestingly enough is the same improvement that was made going from the Nexus 5 to the Nexus 6. Memory remains the same for the base model at 8GB of NAND and 1GB of RAM, but an extra $40 bumps that to 16GB of NAND and 2GB of RAM. The battery also receives a hefty bump in capacity, although this does come along with an increase in height, width, and thickness, as well as a slight increase in mass. While both the first and second generation models used Qualcomm's Snapdragon 400 SoC with four 1.2GHz Cortex A7 cores, this year's model adopts a 1.4GHz version of Snapdragon 410 with four Cortex A53 cores.

For the first time ever, we're seeing an update to the Moto G's SoC. In my view, this is the first truly major update that the phone has seen since the original version, and you can see what improvements Motorola has made in the chart below.ĨMP Rear Facing (Sony IMX179) f/2.4, 1.4 micron 1/3.2" sensorġ3MP Rear Facing (Sony IMX214) f/2.0, 1.1 micron 1/3.06" sensorĪs you can see above, this year's iteration of the Moto G brings along some significant improvements. This put Motorola in a strange situation, which has finally been resolved with the new 2015 model of the Moto G. The early 2015 launch of the Moto E made things even stranger, as it shipped with some specifications that actually outclassed the Moto G, such as Qualcomm's Snapdragon 410 SoC. There was no change to the SoC or the amount of RAM, no change to the display resolution or connectivity, and no change to battery capacity. While Motorola's 2014 refresh of the Moto G was technically a major update as far as their yearly cadence was concerned, many aspects of the phone remained the same. In early 2014 we saw Motorola refresh the Moto G with support for LTE, and later in the year they did a more major refresh which bumped the display size to 5", the camera resolution to 8MP, and added the microSD slot from the LTE model of the original version. Since that time, Motorola has adopted a structure where their Moto E fills in the sub $150 range, the Moto G hovers around $200, and the Moto X acts as a several hundred dollar flagship device, although the dual Moto X launch for 2015 changes this slightly.

It had a 4.5" 720p display, Qualcomm's Snapdragon 400 SoC, a 5MP rear camera, 1GB of RAM, and 8GB of memory.

Motorola's original Moto G was one of the first Android devices to offer what one could honestly call a good user experience at a price of around $200.
