November 13 marks the reported launch day of the Moto G and there are strong indications the Android handset will take an immediate release date, likely the day after.

Seen as the stripped down version of the highly-acclaimed Moto X, the new Motorola phone is being geared for a mass market release, meaning buyers can easily own the phone and enjoy most of the exciting features packed with its older brother.

The Moto G is also pitted against the Nexus 5. While the native Google phone will mostly overwhelm the former in terms of specs and capabilities, there are actually compelling reasons for Android fans to give it more than a second look.

Four of them are listed below:

Respectable specs

Leaks touching on the Moto G point to a 4.5-inch HD screen with 720p resolution and the firepower is sourced from a quad-core Snapdragon processing chip, humming away at top-speed of 1.2GHz. For power users, such description seem mediocre but for the average gadget buyers, which are in the majority, these capabilities will surely work enough wonders.

KitKat 4.4 is likely on board

There are reports Motorola is serving KitKat with the Moto G right out of the box, courtesy of the U.S. device maker's mother company - Google. But it is possible too that the candy bar will come a little later.

What is certain is, Android 4.4 will inhabit the device, if not automatic then a little later. One scenario is Jelly Bean 4.3 will first run the Moto G, thus prepping it for the next Android upgrade cycle. KitKat has been geared deployment starting this November 2013 and for sure the Moto G occupies the top spot in the priority list being an in-house Google phone.

In abundant supply

As mentioned, the chance is high that the Moto G is readily available. In fact, as shown by a new Gotta Be Mobile report, the device is already listed by Amazon and is pegged for a Nov 14 release date.

Of course, the advertising has no official imprint from Google and Motorola but there is no reason to believe the Moto G makers will opt to hold back the phone's availability. With the device on hand, those looking to snap up the Nexus 5 may want to think twice. It is reported that waiting time for the vanilla Android device could stretch for a few weeks.

Cheap or even free

Touted as a Motorola budget phone, the Moto G is seen to carry a solid price tag, probably within the $100 to $200 range. Yet according to GBM, Google is envisioning to distribute the device free of charge to consumers, initially for those based in the United States.

There is no certainty if the same case will be applied outside of America but one thing is sure, the Moto G will be cheaper compared to the Nexus 5. In Southeast Asia, the latter is reportedly retailed beyond the $500 mark and in exchange buyers get to take home the 16GB variant.
