Motorola has finally launched their Moto G smartphone. The little brother of the previously released for-US-markets-only Motorola Moto X, this smartphone is the international version of the Moto X and while it doesn't offer as many customization options, it makes up for it by offering some impressive midrange specs and an entry-level price. Going for an awesome price of $179 (RM571) without any SIM card, the Moto G could easily be Motorola's smartphone solution for the masses. Tech specs for the Motorola Moto G include:
- 1.2GHz Quad-core Snapdragon 400 processor
- 8GB / 16GB storage + 2 years 50GB Google Drive
- 4.5-inch display (1280 x 720, 329ppi)
- 5MP rear camera (LED flash, 4x digital zoom, slow motion, Auto HDR, Panorama, Tap to focus) + 1.3MP camera
- 129.9 x 65.9 x 6.0-11.6mm | 143g
- Supports 3G + GPS + Bluetooth 4.0 + WiFi
- 2070 mAh battery (24 hour usage)
- Android 4.3 (upgradeable to Android 4.4)
Retaining some Moto X features, the Moto G also has differently coloured backs and shows off the Google experience. There weren't any Malaysia release dates but the Moto G will be released for selected Asian countries in December 2013 with a full release in January 2014. Hopefully the price remains the same. For more information check out the Motorola site. The Moto G comes packing Android 4.3 but Google have revealed that you will get a guaranteed Android 4.4 KitKat upgrade with the Moto G soon.
