Moto G vs Moto X Specs

This years Moto G is a lot different in terms of looks, and the specs and hardware under the hood. While it may look similar to last years, it's quite different. It might not be enough to take on the Moto X, but certainly give it a run for its money, considering the Moto G is only $179. Here's some details about both for potential buyers.

As you can see the new Moto G has a bigger battery than last years Moto X, and slightly smaller screen with a lower resolution. This means it should get much better battery life, and easily last all day long.

It also has the same 13 megapixel camera as last year, and even the 5 megapixel front camera on the Moto G is better than the Moto X. Pretty surprisingly considering the Moto X was $499 when it came out last year and was a top-tier device aimed at taking on the iPhone, and now it's barely competing with Motorola's own budget smartphone.

It is worth mentioning the Moto X from last year has a much more powerful Snapdragon 801 quad-core processor with 2GB of RAM. The Moto G has a quad-core with 2GB of RAM as well, but it's a much lower version for budget devices, so it won't be as fast, play games as smooth, or offer the same level of performance.

That all being said, the Moto G seems more than capable for all daily tasks, Android apps, games, browsing the web and more.
