The low-cost smartphone brings several things to the table that the Moto X brings, such as the option to swap the back cover with a new one of a different color.  There are seven colors available: white, black, dark blue, light blue, yellow, red, and pink. If you want to make more changes to your Moto G, bumpers and flip covers are also available for change.

The Moto G does lack a few hardware features such as LTE connectivity and a smaller battery.  But for the cost, you get a very nice smartphone.
