![]() However, what if the 3G model is fast enough, the plan does not include access to the LTE network, the network coverage is simply underdeveloped or the user does not want to use mobile Internet very often? In that case, the only added value of the Moto G 2nd Generation 4G would be the newer operating system. Motorola specifies a recommended price of 179 and 199 Euros (~$195 and ~$217) on its website. This price corresponds roughly to the bargains that we could find on the biggest German price comparison site at the same time. The new model costs about 20 Euros (~$22) extra including shipping. ![]() Nothing has changed in terms of storage, and there is still only one version with a rather tight capacity of 8 GB that, however, can be expanded to 32 GB via an SD card.Īn internationally leading mail order company and its marketplace partners sold the "old" model for approximately 170 Euros (~$185) at the time of testing. The first generation Moto G models were slightly smaller with a screen diagonal of 4.5 inches. The identical core components of both siblings consist of the entry-level Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 MSM8226 SoC with four ARM Cortex-A7 cores and a maximum of 1.2 GHz and an Adreno 305 graphics unit. Otherwise, it includes all the standard features for the 200 Euros (~$218) price range: one GB of RAM, a 5-inch IPS screen in HD resolution (1280x720 pixels 16:9 294 ppi), and an 8 MP primary camera. The OS update is particularly interesting since it gives us the opportunity to check the speed advantage confirmed by so many benchmarks, and the supposedly longer battery life of Lollipop compared to the former version based on a comparison with two virtually identical devices. However, the second SIM card slot has been axed. While the older model, equipped with GSM and UMTS (3G), was powered by Android 4.4 KitKat, the 4G model features LTE and the latest Android 5.0.2 Lollipop. However, the differences are limited (officially). Motorola's newcomer bearing the fairly long name "Motorola Moto G 2nd Generation 4G", is a slightly modified revision of Motorola's Moto G2 mid-range smartphone with impressive ratings (84%) that we tested in October 2014.
