The phone features a 4.5 inch LCD IPS screen, the Google Android Kitkat 4.4 operating system and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 quad-core processor clocked at 1.2 GHz, and U.S. pricing of $179 with no contract for the 8 GB version.
The phone is closely related to the Moto X that was released three months prior, although there are some key differences despite their similar appearances. The Moto G won't be able to have active notifications, quick capture, and touchless control like the Moto X due to the Moto X using a special processor that would be cost-prohibitive for the Moto G. In addition, unlike the Moto X, the Moto G has a removable back cover so that users can customize the phone in whatever color they want; although the Moto X has its online MotoMaker that also allows the user the customize their phone, the casing on it is permanent instead of interchangeable like the Moto G.

Unlike the Moto X as well as most smartphones in general in 2013, the Moto G doesn't support 4G LTE, which is thought to be less of an issue in the developing markets the Moto G is aimed at, due to the lack of LTE technology in those markets. Evolved HSPA would provide the device's fastest mobile data speeds.

I know about XDA, but this why I'm asking

Guys, I want to root my phone so that I could install some apps that require root.

I headed to XDA-developers forum, but when I saw the procedure, my heart sank. I need to unlock the bootloader and doing this will WIPE MY ENTIRE PHONE!!!!!!?? The last time I rooted any Android was my LG P500, and the rooting process was one-click affair, no data loss, no risk. But what the hell is this? I have installed dozens of apps and customized my phone. What will happen to those? How do I backup? How do I recover? I have no plans of installing custom ROM. Man, this sucks. :(

Calm Down.
Unlocking bootloader doesn't "wipe your entire phone". Where did you read that? Give the link to the forum. :/

Will rooting the phone wipe all data?
 
After 48 hours and two emails later Flipkart has finally arranged a replacement for my Moto G. Should get it by Wednesday. Hopefully, the replacement would be all ok.

Will rooting the phone wipe all data?

No. But unlocking bootloader will. You don't have to fear about loosing your data if you take a backup of the same.

No it doesn't while WiFi networks (i kept it on whole night yesterday and desig.)and while gaming little bit. Don't know if it's due to hands holding it for long.

i have installed older version FPse to play some ps1 games but bloody roar 2 runs very slow in full screen mode, so should i buy the latest version of FPse from playstore and check if the game runs faster?

Slightly off topic but what are the odds of a person winning in flipkart contest of give away of 7 phones if he answers every question carefully?

Peak Oil is real!
Anyone from Hyderabad sold their Moto G recently? I just picked up less than a month used Moto G 16 GB black for 9k for my sister today... with box and all accessories, no bill... If anyone on TDF sold it, what was the problem you faced that you sold it off so soon?

MOTO G - I have got 16 GB version. I use Motogenie for syncing with my Lenovo Y500 (Win 7 ultimate)

I see that I can't transfer mp3 files of large sizes like 40 MB. Is there any limit by design?

Also for video files, is there any limit?
