Motorola Moto G (2014, Unlocked)

Design-wise, the second generation Moto G looks almost identical to the original model. The front has received a slight facelift as the speaker and microphone grilles have been replaced with long, horizontal bumpers that look similar to the Moto X.

Like the first generation Moto G, you get the choice between black and white fronts. Also, the display is still 720p and projects a relatively pedestrian 294 pixels per inch, compared with the original Moto G's 329.

The second generation Moto G is slightly thinner than its predecessor, but it's still rather large for a device with a 5-inch screen, especially when you place a Nexus 5 next to it.

While the new G's matte plastic back feels fine, if generic, it's not as nice as its predecessor's rubberized textured plastic back and it doesn't feel as solid, either; there's a sense of hollowness in the updated model.

The back cover is designed to be easily removed, so you can snap on almost any variety of colored backs to add your own flavor of customization.

The Flipshell for Moto G has a screen protector attached to the back plate, and comes in a variety of colors.
