The Moto G takes the design cues from the Moto X, including a curved back that feels great in the hand. But unlike the Moto X, the backplate on the Moto G is removable. That means you can customize the phone with many colored backs and flip covers. The phone comes in a soft-touch polycarbonate case that's comfortable to hold and grip. It's protected by a water-repellant nano-coating.
The Moto G is thicker, measuring 129.9x65.9x11.6mm compared to 129.3x65.3x10.4mm for the X. The device weighs 143 grams which is modest but slightly heavier than the Moto X (130 grams). The Moto G comes with curved edges that offer a good grip.
The design of the phone features a headphone jack on top, a power port on the bottom, and power and volume buttons on the right. The front is dominated by the 4.5-inch screen and features a black strip of glass around the screen that visually differentiates the plastic front and rear panels. On the left of chrome earpiece there's a 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera. There are no soft-touch capacitive buttons on the front panel. The Moto G's back comes with a 5-megapixel camera with an LED flash with a speaker grille to its left. Overall, the phone offers a solid build and has its own distinctive flavour like no other smartphone in the market.
