The Moto G (2014), the successor to the impressive Moto G, was announced in early September. Following in the footsteps of the Moto E which first launched unlocked through Staples earlier this summer, it has now landed in Canada much the same way, unlocked and available through Staples Canada. Like its predecessor, it is billed as “an exceptional phone at an exceptional price.”
The second generation builds upon the first one with a larger and better albeit still 720p display, a better camera and the addition of microSD card support. While it does not support LTE, it does support the necessary AWS 3G bands to make it compatible with carriers such as Mobilicity and WIND Mobile.
