After weeks of speculation, Motorola has officially unveiled the Moto G smartphone at an event in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The Motorola Moto G will be available in at least 30 countries with 60 Google partners by 2014.<\/p>\n
The Google-owned handset maker has announced that the Moto G will be sold through the company\u2019s website in the US, with no contract, no SIM lock and an unlockable bootloader at $179 (Rs. 11,300 approximately) for the 8GB storage model, while the 16GB variant will be available at $199 (Rs. 12,600 approximately). Notably, there is no option for expandable storage available.<\/p>\n
Motorola Moto G will be available in Brazil starting this week, and the smartphone will be released in Latin America, Europe, Canada and parts of Asia over the next few weeks. <\/p>\n
The company assured attendees of the conference that it was working with its partners to ensure the purchase cost to consumers remained as low as possible.<\/p>\n
Interestingly, Motorola has finally confirmed that it will be re-entering the Indian market with the Moto G smartphone, with a launch in \u201cearly-January 2014\u201d. <\/p>\n
Other markets to get the Motorola Moto G in the same period include the US, the Middle East and more countries in Asia. Further, Motorola announced that Moto G will also be available in a dual-SIM variant, for select markets.<\/p>\n
While announcing the Moto G, Dennis Woodside, Motorola\u2019s CEO, also contrasted the device with premium smartphones costing $600, and said, \u201cToday, we\u2019re introducing Moto G, a smartphone that delivers a premium experience for a third of the price of current high-end phones.\u201d<\/p>\n
Woodside, when speaking about the reason for making the Moto G, had mentioned that the global average price of a smartphone was $200, but for that amount, people had to either settle for some very basic specifications that robbed them of a complete smartphone experience, or, buy an older, obsolete version of a phone that was being sold for cheap. With the Moto G, the Google-owned mobile manufacturer wanted to offer modern specifications that gave customers a seamless smartphone and mobile Internet experience, at the $200 price point. <\/p>\n
The Motorola Moto G runs Android 4.3 out-of-the-box and the Google-owned handset maker also \u2018guaranteed\u2019 that the smartphone will be getting the Android 4.4 KitKat by January 2014.<\/p>\n
The Moto G features a 4.5-inch HD \u2018edge-to-edge\u2019 (for a supposed better touch experience) display with a resolution of 720×1280 pixels (translating to a pixel density of 329ppi) and a Corning Gorilla Glass 3 screen. <\/p>\n
Powered by a quad-core 1.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 (Cortex-A7) processor coupled with an Adreno 305 GPU, the Moto G features 1GB of RAM. <\/p>\n
With a demo on stage of a graphics intensive game, the company re-stressed that the Moto G is powerful enough to deliver a strong performance even on the most strenuous Android tasks.<\/p>\n
On the optics front, the Moto G sports a 5-megapixel rear camera along with an LED flash and also includes a 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera. <\/p>\n
The rear camera supports HD (720p) video recording. The Motorola Moto G also features water-resistant nano-coating on the inside and outside. <\/p>\n
The Moto G packs a 2070mAh battery, which Motorola claims can deliver up to 30 percent more talktime than the Apple iPhone 5s. <\/p>\n
The company really stressed on how it has worked to optimise battery life, making the Moto G last well over a day, which it claims to have achieved in part due to the software optimisation. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
