Motorola, the American company that is not going through its best moment in the world market (its distribution in many countries, including Spain disappearing) and thanks to the support of Google, seeks to clean up its name and re-emerge from the Christmas campaign. the ashes with a new terminal, the Motorola Moto G.

It is a terminal that aspires to be at the top of the mid-range market with its remarkable features, among which the time it takes to start, its rapid launch of applications or the autonomy of its battery stand out, at least among the devices that do not exceed 175 euros. In conclusion, it is an excellent smartphone in terms of its quality / price ratio

Technical characteristics

Screen: TFT that presents a considerable size of 4.5 inches with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels, which gives it a density of 329 ppi.

Processor: The Motorola Moto G is powered by a 1.2GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 CPU, which is accompanied by 1GB of RAM. The present operating system is Android 4.3 Jelly Bean, for which its 4.4 KitKat update is expected in January of next year.

Design: The terminal has dimensions of 129.9 mm high x 65.9 mm wide and 11.6 mm thick. Its weight stands at 143 grams. In addition, we can purchase a protective shell against shocks, known as the "Grip Shell". Its small "stops" make it easy to place the smartphone face down, as it prevents possible scratches. On the other hand, the “Flip Shell” can also be ours, another casing that allows the device to be closed completely and which consists of an opening on the screen to be able to use it without any problem.

5 megapixels may seem few, but quality does matter

Regarding your camera we can say that It has, as usual, a pair of lenses: a rear 5-megapixel lens with f / 2.4 aperture with the possibility of recording 720p video at 30 fps and which comes with quite interesting functions such as automatic HDR mode, shooting Burst, touch focus, panoramic mode or slow motion video recording, modes that are very useful to the user when taking a photo or recording, offering various capture possibilities. To these specifications we must add the presence of a Flash LED (although not too powerful, something that will be noticed in low light snapshots) and the digital zoom x4. The front camera is 1.3 megapixels, very useful for self-portraits and video calls.

Here are some samples of the quality of the photos via PhoneArena:

Internal storage, 50 GB in the google cloud and FM RADIO!

It has two different internal capacities, 8 and 16 GB, although without the possibility of expansion through a microSD card, something that may back off more than a possible buyer. However, we can opt for the promotion of free 50 GB for two years on Google Drive. On the other hand it presents other fairly common specifications such as FM radio, GPS, GLONASS, WiFi and Bluetooth. Its battery is 2070 mAh non-removable, hence it presents an external battery kit.

Availability and price

From November 18 we can find it on Movistar without any associated special rate and for a single price of 203 euros, VAT included. If instead we prefer to make a contract, it will be ours for an initial payment of 0 euros and a monthly fee of 7 euros + VAT for 24 months, resulting in the same final price. Yoigo has announced that it will also offer it, although as things are lately for this company it is not difficult to imagine that it will do so through some very substantial offer. At the moment it has not manifested itself in terms of prices and rates. Freely we can find it for 179 euros if it is the smartphone with 8 GB of capacity.
