Moto G unveiled
Friday, November 15, 2013 - 11:46:03
This week, Motorola pulled back the curtains on the Moto G, a smartphone which is being portrayed as a comeback by many media observers.
The Moto G has a very low asking price, with the 8GB version costing £135, while the 16GB edition is just £159, making either one very attainable in the current market.
Colourful back plates and a chunky design means that the Moto G looks reliably built and should appeal to teens and young adults who want a bit of vibrancy from their smartphones.
The front of the phone is adorned with a 4.5 inch touchscreen display that packs a 720p HD resolution, giving it a pixel density of 329ppi. TechRadar points out that this makes it larger and clearer than the panel found on the iPhone 5S, which should put the value of the Moto G into perspective.
A quad core 1.2GHz processor and 1GB of RAM are included, with Android 4.3 Jelly Bean also installed ahead of version 4.4's arrival early next year.
Because Motorola belongs to Google, the Moto G's Android interface has not been tampered with, which keeps things simple and also ensures that the phone runs smoothly.
A five megapixel camera is included on the rear, which is not the highest resolution snapper available at the moment, but should do an acceptable job for casual photography fans.
It seems like, with the arrival of the Moto G, the Nokia Lumia 520 will be given a run for its money at the lower end of the smartphone market. It is impossible to find a quad core mobile for a similar price to Motorola's device and although it might not be sensible to think of it as a comeback, it could definitely do wonders for the company's reputation as the year comes to a close.
