Motorola created a lot of buzz with its low price Moto G last year. The company is now prepping for the launch of the successor of the Moto G smartphone. The device is allegedly known as Moto G2, though the official and final name of the device is yet not revealed everyone is using the Moto G2 name to refer this device. The Moto G2 comes with features and specs identical to the Moto G and has minor upgrades over the older Moto G smartphone.
The device leaked yesterday for the first time revealing a Moto E like design philosophy and the Moto branding on the top left corner. The placement of logo might as well get some praise from buyers but we find the device a little weird. The top of the display looks more cluttered in the new design as a lot of space is occupied with the metal covering for the in-call speaker and moto logo on the left of it. The front facing camera is placed on the right side with a black out graphics hiding something under it. The hidden part may be a new sensor or a front facing flash, you never know.
We take a look at this device and show the upgrades it has got over its predecessor.
Specs
Nothing much changed in this area except for the upgraded 8-MP rear facing camera, the design is little different from the older Moto G as it features the new placement of loud speaker and a steel coating over it, may be for protection or something. It has a Quad-Core processor and 1GB RAM along with a 720p display (size is still a mystery), we expect the display size to be of 5-inches. The battery on the device is likely to be non user removable and the interchangeable back panels may on the desk for this device too.
Price
Motorola launched the Moto G in India with a price of Rs 12,999 and 13,999 for 8GB and 16GB memory respectively. The older Moto G did not have a micro SD slot and that flaw may be taken care on this device. The expected price of this device is a difficult thing to guess as recently Xiaomi entered the Indian market with Mi3 for a dirt cheap price and it competes with Moto G directly. The Mi3 is a high end flagship phone from Xiaomi and beats every aspect of Moto G smartphone. SO may be to stay with market’s pace the company may price this smartphone around 11K. However this is just a guess based on market analysis and the final price may turn out somewhere between 11K and 15K.
