I'm well aware I'm posting this in the Moto G forum.
Amazon has the Moto G LTE for just under $200. They also have unlocked/new AT&T G2's for $200 to $220 (we use Cricket). There are things I like about both, for different reasons, so I'm asking the Moto G community to tell me why you would pick the G over the G2 - or not?
TIA

This might be slightly biased but moto g 4g any day for me all my Mobiles have been moto from the defy,atrix,RAZR I now moto g 4g
Here's where I'm at so far... and ultimately it will depend on how important each factor is to me I guess.
Camera: G2
Battery: I think the G might be better, but the G2 is obviously solid
Screen: G2
Processor / Speed: G2, but the G holds it's own thanks to good software.
Size / feel: I like the size of both. I like the grippier feel of the G and the fact it's easier to use with one hand. I wouldn't need a case with the G, I feel the need for one with the G2
Speaker: G
"Freedom": G... no carrier branding, can unlock bootloader, updates from Moto. My G2 is AT&T, so I have to pop an AT&T sim in to get updates
Dev Support: strong for both... but there doesn't appear to be near as much for the peregrine as the falcon, which is disappointing, unless I'm missing something? It would be great to turn the G into GPE or use an official / stable build of CM on it.
Future Proof: Well, spec-wise the G2. Software-wise I think they're in the same boat given their age.
Other: Splash resistance on the G is nice; double tap to wake the G2 is nice
Cost: Both are around $200 on Amazon, the G2 averaging about $20 more.
looking to spend about $400 max on a new, unlocked device.
she isn't super picky and is coming from a Note 2. the one thing she'd like is smoothness/speed, decent camera and build quality.
i have contemplated the following:
ZenFone 2 (i don't like the bloat, the battery and camera issues)
OPO (sold out and poor customer service)
LG G2 (getting long in the tooth/not future-proof at all)
Moto X 2nd Gen (perhaps too underpowered?)
LG G3 (pricey, getting older, battery life issues)
i think the G3 and the Moto X 2nd Gen are at the top of our lists.
what are your thoughts? thank you!
GSM Arena has put up the first review of the LG G5 that I'm aware of:
Evening the odds - LG G5 review | gsmarena.com
The G5 being one of the S7/S7 Edge's main competitors, it seemed appropriate to start a thread to discuss the virtues and vices of each phone.
What are your thoughts on these two giants?

May make an impulse buy and was wondering if there was any significance to this upgrade or should I hold out for the next gen G phone?
or does someone think a similar phone in the same price range as the g5 plus is a worthy upgrade, camera-wise?
