Motorola Moto G and third-generation Moto X officially announced

The wait has come to an end and we already officially know the new Motorola smartphones, the Moto G and the third-generation Moto X that arrive with the odd surprise.

Motorola Moto G

We start with the new third-generation Motorola Moto G that comes in two variants as has been rumored. A first version is equipped with 1 GB of RAM memory and an internal storage of 8 GB expandable by microSD card. The second version comes with 2 GB of RAM and a storage of 16 GB also expandable. In both cases, a memory card with a maximum of 32 GB of capacity is supported, something that can be scarce more when rivals like Microsoft provide their cheapest smartphones with compatibility with cards up to 128 GB, something that we already saw in the review. the Lumia 435.

Here the differences end as the rest of the features are identical in both versions. We find a 5-inch IPS screen with 1280 x 720 pixels resolution and protected by Gorilla Glass 3 that is given life by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 processor with quad-core Cortex A53 at 1.4 GHz and the Adreno 306 GPU. Certainly in this regard the Moto G has barely advanced since its first version and begins to lag behind, although thanks to the excellent optimization of its Android 5.1 Lollipop software, it should work very smoothly.

As for the optics, we find a 13-megapixel main camera with dual-tone LED flash and a 5-megapixel front camera that will meet the demands of self-addicts. There is no lack of 4G LTE connectivity in addition to the essential WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS.

Finally we find a double front speaker, a 2, 470 mAh battery and resistance to water and dust and can be submerged for 30 minutes up to 1 meter deep.

Their prices will be approximately 180 and 200 euros.

Motorola Moto X

It is the turn of the high-end Motorola with the third-generation Moto X that also comes in two different versions with more differences than those found in the Moto G.

Motorola Moto X Play

The Motorola Moto X Play arrives with a 5.5-inch IPS screen with a 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution protected by Gorilla Glass 3 which is brought to life by an interesting Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 eight-core Cortex A53 processor at a maximum of 1.7 GHz and the Adreno 405 GPU. Accompanying the processor we find 2 GB of RAM and an internal storage to choose between 16 and 32 GB expandable up to an interesting 128 GB, very good work in this regard. As for the operating system, it comes with Android 5.1 Lollipop, as it could not be otherwise.

Regarding optics, we find a 21-megapixel rear camera also with dual-tone flash and a 5-megapixel front camera. The rest of the features include a 3, 630 mAh battery with Turbo Charging fast charging function , Dual SIM connectivity, 4G LTE, WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS, the same resistance to dust and water as the Moto G

Motorola Moto X Style

Motorola's most powerful option that improves on the previous model with the presence of a 5.7-inch IPS screen with a QHD resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels for image quality at the height of the best on the market. Inside it hides a Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 processor consisting of two Cortex A57 cores and four Cortex A53 cores at a maximum frequency of 2 GHz along with the Adreno 418 GPU. Supporting the processor we find 3 GB of RAM and an internal storage to choose between 16 and 32 GB, expandable again up to 128 GB.

WE RECOMMEND YOU Comparison: Motorola Moto G vs Jiayu S1

We continue to find the same 21-megapixel rear camera and the 5-megapixel front camera of the Motorola Moto X Play and the same connectivity options. As for the negative aspect, we have a scarcer 3, 000 mAh battery with the same fast charge technology and it loses its resistance to being submerged in water, it is only splash resistant.
