The new Moto X isn’t the only smartphone refresh that Motorola is announcing today. The Moto G also got a new model, and unlike its X sibling, the new Moto G will actually be able to purchase later today.


The new Moto G will be available for purchase today at 11 a.m. CT/12 p.m. ET for just $179.99 off-contract, just like its predecessor. In exchange for your $180 Washingtons, you’ll get a device with the following specs:



  • 5-inch 1280x720 display

  • 1.2GHz quad-core Snapdragon 400 processor

  • 8-megapixel rear, 2-megapixel front cameras

  • 8GB or 16GB of storage

  • Less than 1GB of RAM

  • microSD card slot

  • 2070mAh battery

  • Android 4.4.4

  • 70.7 x 141.5 x 10.99mm

  • Dual front-facing speakers

  • Swappable rear Motorola Shells

The new Moto G doesn’t feature quite as many upgrades over the original model as the new Moto X does over the OG X, but the tweaks that it does offer are notable. Those include a larger display (from 4.5 to 5 inches) and cameras with more megapixels crammed into ‘em. Perhaps the best part, though, is the fact that the new Moto G costs the same as the original model, making it a super affordable no-contract Android smartphone.
