If the storage space(8GB or 16GB) in your old model does not suffice you, then you may consider switching to the new model. But if storage isn't an issue, then you can skip the new one. The additions in the new phone indeed make theMoto G an even better buy, but these improvements(minus the additional storage) are not worth an upgrade.
At the heart of the newMoto G is the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor with 1.2GHz quad-core CPU paired with 1GB of RAM that we had seen in the old Moto G.
Even the 2070mAh battery on the newMoto G is of the same capacity as one in the first generation. On a single charge, the new Moto G has enough juice to easily survive for a day. On occasions, the phone even lasted for even 30 hours without the need to be plugged in.
The old Moto G was launched in two variants - 8GB and 16GB - without additional storage, but the newMoto G comes only in 16GB with support for a microSD card for expandable storage.
The best part is that these enhancements do not come at an extra cost. Motorola, in fact, has priced the newMoto G Rs 1000 cheaper than the old one. The new Moto G(that comes only in 16GB) costs Rs 12, 999 - Rs 1000 cheaper than the first-gen(16GB) model.
Given its price, performance and other smartphones available from rivals at this price point, theMoto G(2nd generation) is certainly worth looking into. However, there are other options including the Asus Zenfone 5(my personal fav.) and Xiaomi Mi 3 available in this price range that you could also consider.
