Owners of last year's Moto G phones have not been forgotten – Lollipop inbound "soon"

Hardware-wise, the old Moto G is still pretty much on-par with this year's iteration of the model. They both sport a Snapbragon 400 SoC with 1 GB of RAM – the 2014 edition Moto G has a slightly larger screen (5" on the new model, 4.5" on the old), higher resolution camera (8 MP on the new, 5 MP on the old), and a slight bump in internal storage (16 GB vs 8 GB). With such a negligible upgrade, the original Moto G is obviously still quite relevant, and making the decision to keep it is a natural decision. It's good to see that Motorola acknowledges that and will keep its users up-to-date.
