The original Motorola Moto G was received very well when it came out on the market, as the device brought a great set of features at a pretty attractive price, immediately grabbing the attention of critics and fans all over the world. And while the smartphone market was already getting quite saturated at this time, the Moto G managed to stand out on its own and still impressed people quite a lot.
And now, the release of the Moto G2 sees similar success, as the phone was already anticipated to be a device worth checking out, and its release justified those expectations in pretty much every way. Among the various upgrades the device has over its predecessor, it now supports 4G LTE, something that was widely requested for the original Moto G.
Now, the Moto G2 is fully capable of connecting to LTE bands, and the device should be usable with any carrier that offers LTE connectivity. This should bring up connection speeds significantly for all users who can make use of the new feature, although of course this depends entirely on the availability of LTE network coverage in each respective country where the device is offered.
It should be noted that this is no flagship phone, it’s not even a high-end device. The Moto G2 is a mid-range phone which makes its LTE support particularly attractive, as there aren’t that many mid-range smartphones with full LTE support right now. The price of the Moto G2 should make it a very attractive offer for those looking for an LTE-capable phone, and it should also hopefully pave the way for even more similarly priced offers on the Android market for phones with LTE support.
Other than the extra connectivity features, the phone also comes with better hardware as a whole, featuring a 5 inch display running at a 720×1280 resolution, and is covered by Gorilla Glass 3. On the inside, the phone is running on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor clocked at 1.2 GHz, and it also has 1 GB of RAM, 8 GB of built-in memory, a microSD card slot and a rear camera with an 8 megapixel sensor.
All in all, the hardware isn’t anything impressive compared to other devices on the Android market, but it is a pretty good deal for the price point of the Moto G2. Buyers who’re not looking for an Android powerhouse and just want a device that can handle most apps well enough should definitely consider the Moto G2, especially if they want a good Android 5.0 experience.
