Is the new Moto G a OnePlus 2 killer?

So I was recently at the big Motorola launch event which spanned New York City, Mexico City, Sao Paulo and London where I was part of the media herd waiting to see exactly what new handsets were about to be revealed. The answer came in triplicate: the Moto X Style, Moto X Play and the new third generation Moto G. As the latter of these was the only device to actually go on sale with immediate effect, and Motorola had review units available to take away, it's the Moto G that I am reviewing here today having put it through the ropes for the last ten days. Given that the long awaited OnePlus 2 goes on sale here in the UK this coming week (August 11th) I wanted to answer a question I had posed for myself: is the new Moto G a OnePlus 2 killer or not?
