After the battle between the Motorola Moto X and the Samsung Galaxy S5, today we bring another article in which the Galaxy model is found face to face with our beloved Motorola Moto G. We all know that the S5 is a terminal of great qualities that we are sure It will not go unnoticed by the market and which more than one will be willing to throw a glove on, although our beloved Moto G will demonstrate that it does not get used to anything and will face it with great dignity.

Its small "stops" make it easy to place the smartphone face down, as it prevents possible scratches. On the other hand, the “ Flip Shell ” can also be ours, another casing that allows the device to be closed completely and which consists of an opening on the screen to be able to use it without any problem.
