As we already discussed about the Moto X 2014<\/a> and mentioned the little brother i.e. the Moto G 2014, I guess it is time that we introduce the Moto G 2014 as well. The Moto G 2014 was announced alongside the Moto X 2014. Though it may not be the equivalent as its big brother but it does its job just fine.<\/p>\n

The thing about Moto G isn\u2019t about the specifications and power. It\u2019s about a great phone in a relatively economical price. Before moving to the design of the phone, we would like to write down the specifications for you.<\/p>\n

The Moto G 2014 also adds more ingredients to the given recipe. The once 4.5\u201d display has now been replaced by a 5\u201d screen of the same 1280 x 720px resolution. The camera has been upgraded from a 5MP shooter to an 8MP. And what is more important, is the price. It is still priced as its predecessor.<\/p>\n

Motorola has retained the same core feel of the phone. The phone still has the same body materials and design. But in addition to its predecessor, they have added a few goodies like the stereo speakers above and below the screen.<\/p>\n

The Moto G 2014 comes in two basic body colors, i.e. White and Black. But then again, like the Moto X 2014, it also comes with a variety of back panels.<\/p>\n

Here are some pictures of the Moto G 2014 and back panels.<\/p>\n
