Confirms a few rumours about the refresh plans for the popular smartphone.
Moto G set a trend in the midrange smartphones! But this year they face lot of competition. Lets wait and see whether they'll be able to repeat the success of their previous versions .
You'd think with all these "Leaks" and "Accidental listings" that tech companies would either lock down on their security and other protocols or just quit calling them leaks and start calling them "staged media stunts" because I really don't think any of these postings that happen are ever really "leaked."
The Vodafone Smart Ultra 6 is the obvious competitor over here, but yes, some of the Asian upstarts and lesser-knowns are now genuine competitors at most points in the market, from the OnePlus One (and soon Two) and Huawei models down to the cheap Chinese budget phones. Not always as available here as they could be, but they are still viable options for budget buyers wanting a lot of smartphone on the cheap.Quote:

If I ever get around to buying a smartphone, something like this would be a prime contender.
I wouldn't be looking for dirt cheap, but I certainly wouldn't be looking for premium either. What I would be looking for is decent spec and performance at a reasonable price, and some peace of mind from buying a good name, with local availability, by which I mean my local Argos, Carphone Warehouse, or whatever, not some bloke importing Chinese clones and flogging them on eBay. No doubt there's a market for that, but it isn't me. Putting that another way, I'd be interested in good value for money over cheap pricing.
So, IF I were to buy a smartphone, then depending on price and spec, and quite where it's positioned, a new MotoG might well be high on the list. But it is still quite a big "if".
My Moto G 2nd Gen stomps the few chinese phones that I have had recently(UMI Hammer, eMAX, Elephone P7000, Huawei Honor 3c). The build quality along with the support and warranty outweight anything eles. Running nicely on Titan Prime 1.1.1 and Stellar Kernel 5.0
Sounds very promising but I'm not sure I'd be willing to step down to 16GB internal storage without SDXC support to compensate. I don't want to have to carry around a second device, or be reliant on WiFi, for music & media.
