A quick reminder of the Moto G specs, if you have forgotten why everyone is raving so much about it.

Motorola has also stated that the Moto G will get KitKat by January next year, further sweeting the deal. The Moto G was unveiled earlier this month, and was expected to go on sale in the United States early next year with KitKat pre-installed. However, Motorola had a change of heart and decided to launch the handset a month early in the States without KitKat.
