Do you notice any memory management (apps being kicked out of memory), and having to be reloaded from scratch on the 2g model?
No, but remember the 2gb version is the higher capacity. And I wouldn't expect a phone like this to need more than that.
Also is the 1gb model a major improvement over the Moto e? I ask because I picked up the Verizon moto e for $25 on sale and based on the specs it has the same cpu, gpu, ram, and internal memory.
Obviously the screen is a bit bigger on the g with a slight increase in resolution, and the camera is better plus you have customizations... But compared to the $25 i paid (currently $45)for the Moto e, us the $179 moto g really THAT much better, relative to the cost differential?
That depends on how happy you are with your E. I'd say the 2015 G, especially the 2/16 variant, is a solid upgrade, but whether you want to spend the cash to upgrade over your E is another matter.
Moto x 2013 vs moto g 2015?
Few things I'm interested about in particular...
1. Battery life
2. Camera
3. Software - active display, camera wrist flick, always listening, Overall speed and experience
4. Size/weight difference
Thanks!

At this stage the 2015 G wins hands down. Better battery life. Camera at least equivalent. Display *immeasurably* better. And more life ahead of it in terms of updates etc.
Only thing you miss out on is Moto Voice. That and the new G is a little chunkier than the 2013 X
How do the front facing speakers sound? Any improvement over last year's model?
Only one of the cutouts is actually a loudspeaker (bottom). Top is a regular earpiece.
That said the single loudspeaker is solid — more than loud enough and pretty bassy. As for why they went from two speakers to one, I think probably has to to with wanting one good speaker versus two mediocre ones, considering the price constraints of the G.
Probably a minor issue for many people, but is the LED notification light still just white or have they replaced it with an RGB one? Thanks.
No LED this time as the new G has Moto Display
