HIGHLIGHTS

One of the things the Moto G lacked was the option to expand storage. But, Motorola rectifies the omission in the new Moto G version, which also comes with LTE.

Motorola is on a roll after the massive success of its Moto G smartphone. Even as the company unveiled a new low-cost smartphone 'Moto E', it also introduced a new version of its best selling smartphone. The new version of the Moto G supports LTE and comes with a microSD card slot – a feature that was missed in the previous iteration of the phone.

Rest of the specifications of the smartphone remain the same – 4.5-inch display, Android 4.4.2 KitKat, 1.2 GHz quad-core Snapdragon 400 chipset, 1GB of RAM and 5MP camera with LED flash. Also read: Moto G Review

With a combination of good specs, solid design and affordable pricing, the Moto G became Motorola's best selling smartphone in company's history, in less than six months of its launch. However, one of the things the phone lacked was the unavailability of expandable storage. But, Motorola has rectified that omission in the new version of the smartphone, making the product more attractive.

The LTE-based Moto G will cost $219 in the US. So far there's no word on the availability and price of the new version in India, but looking at the trend we believe Motorola will like to tap further into its success in the Indian market. With the new Moto E, an affordable version of the Moto G, Motorola is set to increase its share in the Indian market. Also read: Moto E India launch: First look and picture gallery
