MOTO G, the latest offering from the Motorola stable is an attempt to at least remain competitive in this market which has a sizeable influx of Chinese phone manufacturers. The Moto G has somewhere lost its spot as the sub-Rs. 15,000 top in terms of raw specifications, but the brand value keeps the customers coming back.
The Moto G Turbo edition comes with a 1.5 GHZ Octa-Core Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 processor with 2GB RAM and 16 GB of Internal Storage (Expandable to 32 GB). It has a 5′ IPS LCD Screen. It has a 13 MP rear camera and a 5 MP front camera. Weighing in at 155gms, it is 11.6mm thick.
Moto G Turbo Edition Design & First Look
The Turbo edition derives many aspects from its predecessors. The standard version has a grey-blue rear panel, with a rubbery finish for a solid grip, but with a slight twirl to the previous straight ribbed pattern. This makes the phone really attractive & well-built. The panel comes into play to ensure that the Moto G lives up to its IP67 certification, which is for water and dust resistance. There are rubber inserts on the underside which form seals around the Micro-SIM and microSD slots. The arrangement of all other components is similar to the earlier versions.
Moto G Turbo Edition Display
The screen of Moto G Turbo is a good 5′ one with 720p resolution offering a 294ppi and impressive 16M colors. While other phones of the same range are offering Full HD option, the 720p with 16M colors renders colors that are rich & vibrant. It is protected by a Corning Gorilla Glass 3 which ensures the rugged aspect of the phone.
