Last week, Motorola unveiled the highly anticipated successor to the Moto G — the new Moto G. Besides the name, the handset sports similar specs as its predecessor except for a few minor upgrades.
In a nutshell, the new Moto G only comes with a bigger screen with the same resolution, a better camera, front-facing stereo speakers and a microSD card slot. Apart from this, there are no differences between the new and the old Moto G.
