The Motorola Moto G offers users about as close to a stock Android version as you can get from one of the large smartphone manufacturers. Others, like Samsung, HTC, LG or Sony insist on putting their own UI on top of Android. Fortunately, Google has managed to work some deals with these manufacturers to produce Google Play Edition versions of the devices that come with stock Android for users that don’t want to go through the trouble of rooting and removing the extra stuff on their own. Useful for buyers that are not interested in all the extras, apparently Google and Motorola thinks there may be some purists out there that would be interested in the same treatment for the Moto G as they have released a Google Play Edition of the device.
The Moto G Google Play Edition should benefit from slightly quicker access to Android updates, although Motorola has shown recently that they are pretty quick on the draw themselves. The loaded software will be slimmed down just a bit from the regular version. Pricing is the same as normal retail pricing from carriers and other retail outlets, $179 for an 8GB model and $199 for a 16GB version, both of which are unlocked.
If you want to grab a Google Play Edition Moto G, hit the source link to head on over to the Google Play Store. Google is currently indicating the device is in stock and ready to ship within 1-2 business days.
