Moto G will come preloaded with the free interactive FM radio application NextRadio. With NextRadio, listening to FM radio on smartphones is a new type of interactive radio listening experience.

When compared with streaming, NextRadio consumes about three times less battery life than other music apps. That’s because the audio is coming through a built-in FM tuner instead of over the Internet, says the company.
