The third generation Moto G is among the most awaited smartphones this year, just two years after its initial reiteration was released, but the franchise family has reshaped what a budget Android phone should look, feel, and function as well as its cost.
Moto G has a greatly enhanced hardware as compared to the previous models from the company, while maintaining a constant price tag from $179.99, GSM Arena reported.
The upcoming smartphone packs an improved 64-bit Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 chipset, 13MP rear camera having a 1080-pixel video capture, 5MP front camera for selfies, and a 2GB RAM. However, these specs are not the trump card of the upcoming Moto G (2015).
According to International Business Times, the new device has an IPX7 water-resistant case and comes in different colors that are an added advantage as compared to other competitors. Major features of the third generation Moto G include:
- A 5-inch 720-pixel IPS LCD screen, Corning Gorilla Glass 3 with 294 ppi
- Its processor is 64-bit Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 MSM8916 chipset, quad-core CPU clocked at 1.4GHz, 1GB/2GB RAM, Adreno 306 GPU
- A 13-megapixel back camera having f/2.0 aperture, 1080p video capture at 30fps, a dual-LED flash, and Quick Capture gesture regulators
- A 5-megapixel front camera having f/2.2 aperture and Quick Capture gesture regulators
- Android 5.1.1 Lollipop that has no bloatware
- Internal memory capacity of 8GB/16GB plus a microSD card slot
- Bluetooth 4.0, Wi-Fi b/g/n, GPS, Beidou support, microUSB port, and GLONASS
- Active noise cancellation ability with a strong microphone
- An IPX7 water-resistant body
- A customizable case through Moto Maker
- A fantastic contract-free price tag
- A 2470mAh fixed battery
As opposed to its precursor that was an evolutionary upgrade of the first generation, the Moto G (2015) has taken a shift in terms of hardware improvement. For instance, the device's 64-bit chipset and a 2GB RAM assures full functionality on Android Lollipop, and the 13-megapixel rear camera punches above its price range.
The alternative to personalize the XT1540 Moto Maker and the IPX7 authentication are the firsthand in the Moto G platform.
