By While the new Moto X may be the powerhouse to get Android enthusiasts and power users excited, the Moto G should excite folks who don’t have much of a budget to splurge on smartphone. Like its predecessor from last year, the new Moto G provides a pretty powerful experience for those short on change. A quad-core processor, HD resolution and an 8 megapixel camera for under $200?

Be sure to give all that a good look-see straight ahead.
Tech heads riddle me this …. I currently own a Galaxy S3 and am very happy with its abilities. What is the difference between this new Moto G and my Galaxy S3 (besides the lack of 4G)? Would they be similar in capabilities? It’s nice to know that there is a cheap replacement just in case my S3 shits the bed.
Larger screen newer chip set great battery I guess, I will assume the Samsung camera is better….but I think if you buy it as an oops phone you may just use just to use it
Thanks, I just read that the MotoG has 1gb RAM. My S3 has 2. I guess this old phone of mine is still holding its own. I must say it still works great for my uses. You really can’t beat the S3, especially since it can be had for $150 or less from Craigslist.
Yea that is the LTE variant… It is showing its age, the s4 snapdragon powering isn’t as great as it used to be, but I am using a droid ultra so works fine for me .

Basically, going from a S3 (2012) flagship to a Moto G (2014) mid/low-ranger is still a slight downgrade. Unless you’re hurting for cash, I’d side-grade or upgrade.
I really hope the original moto g gets android l upgrade. I love this phone so much.
