the Moto G kind of shocked the world it was a great phone for a great price now there's a second-generation let's unbox it see what you can expect the Moto G is a budget device and the box itself says budget too let's go ahead and take a look around we've got the nice device they're sitting on the front relatively playing sides barcodes and whatnot on that side over on the back you've got your specs I've already cut into this to make it a little bit easier to open but no box inside a box just a nice lift out then we've got the device sitting on the front now this is the white version go ahead and pull that out and set it aside just for the time being open this up it's unusual to see a power cord at rather than a USB wall wart with the USB cable we saw it with a moto 360 but that's a SmartWatch here I guess it's a cost-saving measure but we'll go ahead and set that aside we'll look at the the books that we have down in the bottom and really that's it there's nothing else in there we have a get started guide we've got another one for multilingual stuff and then of course we've got the the full manual so we'll go ahead and put those in there set it aside let's take a look at the the device itself very much like the the second-generation Moto X you've got these big grills down here the top and the bottom and these aren't quite as pronounced they're not quite as Grilli as they are on the the Moto X but they're still very pronounced you've got a nice bevel on the screen now this is kind of unusual just going to say that there was a little line gap around there but that was just the the case not being snapped on tight we've got our front facing camera and of course other sensors and whatnot on here go ahead and take a look around like the Moto X the Moto G has a top-mounted headphone jack coming around to the side same kind of button orientation button configuration is the the X does where there's your power button and your volume rocker so right there underneath your index and middle fingers if you're right-handed holding it in your left hand you've got our micro USB port on the bottom nothing on that side moving around the back we've got our motorola dimple I think that's what we're calling it now got our LED flash in our camera we'll get into more details and specs about those in the coming days so one of the things about the the Moto G is this back cover is very I was going to say very easily removable go ahead and just pop that off now over here we've got our sim so we've already got a sim in there looks like we have another sim trait that could be in here for other regions this one does not it's just a a molded plate and then we've got a micro USB or micro SD card rather up here on the top so kind of nice got some other information there now you can put all kinds of different cases on here motorola was kind enough to supply us with a nice kind of a bright lime reminiscent to what we've seen before and of course a flip case or flip cover which includes this little instruction sheet we'll go ahead and take that out set it aside and we'll take this one's kind of a lavender fuchsia now if you saw our Motorola power pack unboxing I mentioned that it had a kind of a grippy almost a rubbery texture to it not quite rubbery but kind of that gives you that kind of feeling well this is the same kind of texture and its really nice it feels good you're not going to drop this snaps on to the phone very quickly and easily I like it unlike some of the the covers that we've seen before have this nice thick front on it this does not have a built-in battery to extend your battery although that would be really nice wouldn't it so there we go let's go ahead and take this screen protector off just so you can hear it and I'm doing this so that Michael Fisher and so you get to put up with me and my wow this one is hard to do here we go just like that power it on for the first time so we can see what that display looks like very nice subtle it's got kind of a black border around it that we haven't seen on some of the other devices but I suspect that's just because this is the more entry-level Motorola and then the others are of course a little bit higher in overall nice I love the the way it feels in hand it's nice it's lightweight but it's not too light and of course with this nice case on it is flip case I really dig it that's how I like carrying my nexus 5 around with me so make sure you stay tuned we're going to have a lot more information about this we're going to have some benchmarks and of course
