Nice specs. Turn off: Battery and Ram size
there’s a mistake in the RAM listing, should be 1/2 GB. was disappointed Motorola increased the screen size, the G used to be one of very few decent Android options for people who wanted sub 5″ phones
Is this not supposed to be a midrange device? If it is, I think the RAM is decent enough.
Had the OG Moto g,one of the best hands and pocket friendly phones I’ve ever had with best in class snappy user experience,my only issues were the low Ram and lack of memory cards which good to see has been rectified in the current edition.
The battery is an actual improvement over last year’s edition and Motorola are known for their highly optimized softwares,so expect a reasonable battery life from this one..
