Software
What you’ve got with this smartphone is a setup not unlike that of the Moto X. Just like the Moto X you’ve got a handset that’s roughly the side of an average adult palm at 65.9mm wide. Just like the Moto X you’ve got near-pure Android inside barring a few minor additions from the manufacturer like Motorola Migrate to make transferring data and settings from your old phone to the new as simple as possible (and it really, really is). Just like the Moto X, you’ve got a device that Motorola intends on carrying in the public as a headliner – a hero phone they wont likely forget about supporting any time soon.
One example is the version of Android the Moto G has and will be upgraded to sooner than later. Right out of the box, the Moto G works with Android 4.3 Jelly Bean. Motorola has promised that this device will indeed be updated to Android 4.4 KitKat “at the beginning” of the year 2014. As the Moto X is currently set for “a few weeks” until KitKat, we’ve got high hopes for the Moto G in this regard.
Support – and we’ll say this more than once throughout the life of this device – is something we’ll expect implicitly. Motorola is taking a stance here that suggests they’ll be behind the software updates – at least – of this device as if it were their own child. We’re going to hold them to that, even if they don’t say it in those exact words.
Hardware
By the major manufacturer smartphone release standards set in 2012, this device is a hero phone. By the major manufacturer smartphone release standards set in 2013, this device is certainly a contender for the top of the middle-tier. You’ll be working with a 5-megapixel camera, a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor (less powerful than the processor in the Moto X, but still more powerful than that of the Samsung Galaxy S III, HTC One X (USA edition), or Motorola DROID RAZR HD.
This was proven beyond a shadow of a doubt by the 4-megapixel (or 4-UltraPixel, if you prefer) HTC One earlier this year. The Moto X continues to show improvement in the quality of its 10-megapixel camera here in software updates just weeks after its initial release – we’re expecting better-than-general results from the setup on the Moto G.
