Motorola announced the Moto G, a lower end model of the Moto X today. It's specifications scream "low-mid end phone" and there is nothing particularly good in software as well. But one major plus point is that it brings us stock android with no manufacturer skin(yay!) and Motorola has said in their blog that the Moto G will be updated to Android 4.4 Kitkat in the beginning of 2014.
