For the uninitiated, the new 4G Moto G2 model houses the same features seen inside the 3G variant, except the network connectivity support.

With 4G-LTE support, new Moto G2 model owners can enjoy 150mbps/50mbps download/upload speed. But, it depends on the region and network carrier as the 4G service is confined to only a few cities and towns.

Both the devices sport 5.0-inch HD display and houses Snapdragon 400 series quad-core processor, 1GB RAM and a 2070 mAh battery, which is said to be enough to run the phone for a whole day under mixed usage.

Another key aspect of the Moto G (2 gen) is that the phone comes with Android 4.4 KitKat out-of-the box. The company has released the v5.0.2 Lollipop to the device and is also confirmed to get the latest Android 6.0 Marshmallow by the year-end or early 2016.

However, there is no word from Motorola on whether the Moto G (2 Gen) 4G-LTE comes with 8GB or 16GB inbuilt memory.

As of now, 3G-based Moto G (2014) 16GB costs Rs. 9,999. Watch this space for more updates on 15 October.
