▶ Moto G Launch - YouTube 05 001123

The Moto G wasn't a well-guarded secret (though it wasn't as leaky as the Moto X either), but we've still looked forward to finding out what this affordable little device is all about.

Now the Motorola made the Moto G official and we have the rundown on specs and features, as well as the all-important price information, is the Moto G worth more praise than its spec sheet suggests? Let's find out.

Motorola called the HD display of the Moto G its hero feature, and highlighted its excellent pixel density, which is better than that of the iPhone 5s. Indeed, for a device that starts from just $179, the 4.5-inch 326 ppi screen is nothing short of excellent.

Powering all those pixels is a Snapdragon 400 processor clocked at 1.2GHz, coupled with 1GB of RAM. This is a good mid-range configuration that should get most users through a majority of tasks.

The Moto G will run slightly modified stock Android 4.3 Jelly Bean out of the box, but Motorola "guaranteed" a KitKat upgrade by January 2014.

Now for the amazing proposition of the Moto G, it's price: the device will be available unlocked in the United States for just $179 for the 8GB version. The 16GB version will cost just $199, suggesting that Motorola fought off the temptation to maximize margins through flash storage price gouge.
