I had one - great phone for the price but I found the 1GB mem to be a real limitation - websites would reload if I switched to a dif app then back. I now have an Asus with 4GB - great phone too and also relatively cheap (about a yr old now)

The 16GB version of the current generation has 2GB memory. I got the 8GB (with 1GB memory) originally and ended up selling it and buying the higher-spec version. 2GB is just a much better experience under Android.

There is also a version with 16 gb storage and 1 gb RAM.

Fellow Moto G user, and I completely agree with this sentiment (along with the camera being meh). Remarkably the battery has held up very well with two years of use, part of me wonders if that's due to performance improvements in Android offsetting the natural wear (though every update seems to make the stock apps slower, with Maps being a particularly noticeable example).

I'm in the same boat and bought a Moto G, but one major issue is the lack of gyroscope for google cardboard/vr use.

Buy the Moto G 2014 – that has a gyroscope, and can be used with Google Cardboard. The 2015 and 2013 version don’t, though.
