Hi Bhavya, I have used the Moto g 2nd gen phone my self, and find much better in terms of accessibility, given that the phone has a stock android OS, and will certainly receive the android L update. Also note that there are unlabelled controls in certain apps of the phone, but they are easy to deal with if you get a hang of those apps. As far as hardware specs goes, it is better, as there is quod core processor in the phone. Thanks.
