Motorola's budget device just arrived and it's time to get it out of the box I'm Taylor Martin this is PocketNow and this is our unboxing of the Motorola MOTO G what we're looking at here today is not a device that is just the biggest baddest thing on the market but it's something that we've all been really wanting to get our hands on to see what it's really all about it's not the biggest baddest thing it doesn't have the fastest processor or the best camera it doesn't promise any of that but what it does have is a very compelling price point this is the Moto G from Motorola and it's sort of like the smaller cheaper sibling to the Moto X this one is much cheaper this is the 16 gigabyte model and it retails for a hundred and ninety-nine dollars and the eight gigabyte model retails for a hundred and seventy nine dollars so it's very very cheap and its internals aren't terrible they're not great but they're not terrible so before we get too far into this we'd like to thank our friends at clove for supplying us for this review loaner if you'd like your own you can go to clove and order one right now so without any further delay let's get inside this box and see what this foam is all about as you can see it's very easy to open the box but we're gonna set the device aside it's just right there we'll get to that in a minute under this flap there's really not a lot to get excited about there is a micro USB cable for charging and data transfer and a few pamphlets they've got safe smart protected let's get started guide and removal of the battery door a little explanation of how to remove the battery door and that's it I can't be too upset because this device cost about a third of what most smartphones cost off contract and yeah you can't expect too much to be in the box so right off the bat you can tell this is very very similar to the Moto X there are some differences and you can see them immediately especially if you've spent any time with the Moto X for one the speaker grille is different the front facing camera is on the other side and there's a little more trim here you can't see that without the display on but we'll get to that in a minute the speaker grille is a little different and there are just a few slight differences all around the device that really kind of show how different it is and we have our custom Moto X here and you can see the camera placement and reading are very similar but the speakers are on opposite sides so there's that they both have the dimple they both have the same plate port placement which is your three your USB microUSB on the bottom 3.5 millimeter headphone jack on the top power and volume rocker placement are very similar and the phones look a lot alike you can tell that they're very similar very closely related but one of the biggest differences and if we can get this display turned on really quickly that's the biggest difference right there that you're going to see at least design wise is this display is not edge to edge this one is so there's that but this is a five point four point five inch 720p display it has a Snapdragon 400 on the inside so it's a 1.2 gigahertz quad-core CPU it has 1 gigabyte of RAM and the camera around back is 5 megapixels so it doesn't have the clear pixel camera that's a 5 megapixel camera basically this is a bare-bones smartphone but it has a bare-bones price so for a hundred and seventy nine dollars or 199 in this case this is a very very impressive smartphone so there's a lot to be said for a device that costs about the same as any other device on contract but offers you know decent specifications and a very similar build quality to one of our favorite smartphones this year the Moto X so we're gonna get very friendly with this device and learn the ins and outs of it we're going to be comparing it to other devices namely the Moto X and we'll get back to you with some reviews and comparison videos as well as some other editorials about this phone in particular so stay tuned for all of that on pocket now I'm Taylor Martin and I will see you next time that's going to wrap up this video if you enjoyed it click the thumbs up button below and leave a comment if you have any questions or suggestions subscribe to the channel to see more videos like this one in the future as well as more moto G coverage over the next couple of weeks and be sure to like and follow us in all the usual places twitter facebook and google+ at pocket now I'm Taylor Martin you can find me on twitter at casper tech and i will see you next time
