The two big upgrades the latest Moto G brings to the table compared to the Moto G ( 2014) is the camera and design, with the snapper being upgraded to 13 megapixels - the same as the one found in Motorola's ( much more expensive) Nexus 6.
You'll also be able to fully customise the Moto G ( 2015) with the Moto Maker tool, and the next generation Moto G also boasts a textured plastic back.
The Moto G ( 2015) will launch at £159 ( $179, around AU$340) , so we should see a further price cut to the Moto G ( 2014) soon. This could keep the older handset competitive - as it already represents fantastic value for money.
Design
The Moto G ( 2014) design is very similar to the older model, but also borrows a few new design traits from the original Moto E. You can't miss the primary change of little metal bars above and below the screen.
They're not there for the look and, let's be honest, they don't really look all that great. But they do mark where the front stereo speakers live. The original Moto G used a single mono speaker on the back.
For a closer look, the 2014 Moto G is 70.7mm wide and 11mm thick. The thickness in particular is quite hefty for a phone of this size.
Yes, that's 0.6mm thinner than the old model, but as it's also just under 5mm wider, using it will feel a bit clumsier for most hands. It shouldn't be a deal-breaker, but means you need to think about whether to go for the larger-screen version or not while the older version is still on shelves.
The Moto G 2014 is slimmer than the new Moto G 2015, however, as the latest version is 11.3mm at its thickest point. The Moto G 2015 is slightly shorter than the Moto G 2014, at 141.5mm in length, compared to last year's 142.1mm.
