The brand new Moto G for 2015 is the same price we've seen over the past few years, and it comes in two variants. Those being $179 or $219.
Moto G with 8GB of storage and 1GB of RAM - $179 Moto G with 16GB of storage and 2GB of RAM - $219 That's one of the best cheap smartphones available today, one that offers more than most.
The Moto X initially hit the market for $499, and was considered a good deal, and sold through carriers for $99 on contract. Now that, the phone has seen an array of price cuts. A few months back it dropped to $399, and right now buyers can get the 2014 Moto X (2nd Gen) for only $299 with all the customization we mentioned earlier. It's still an amazing phone, and will be for years to come. If you don't need the wood or leather backs, or don't play all the latest Android games, simply opting for the $219 Moto G may be a better route. The screen isn't as big but you get nearly the same experience, better battery life and more all for almost $80 less.

You are listing superficial things as the main differences, and completely ignoring critical technical differences that ou will notice day to day, such as 802.11ac vs n wifi, or amoled screen & impact on notifications, or only having touchless (moto voice) on one. This is a dangerously misleading article IMO

Dangerous is a powerful word brother when it comes to describing a phone comparison article ;)
