Motorola Announces the Moto G, Moto X Play, and Moto X Style Dylan Duarte July 28, 2015 News Today Motorola announced not one, not two, but three new Moto phones, all serving different purposes in different price ranges, and all of them look pretty appealing, to be honest. With all three new phones, Motorola is all about giving you what you want in terms of customization. Both the Moto G and the Moto X are represented here, with two different versions of the Moto X – Play and Style – allowing you even more choices. Moto G Thanks to IPX7-rated protection, Corning Gorilla Glass, and an all-day battery, you can take your Moto G with you on all sorts of adventures and trust that it will stay alive and well. A 13MP quick-capture camera let’s you take clear pictures on the fly. You’ve also got a 720p 5-inch display, quad-core Snapdragon 410 chip, 1GB or 2GB RAM, and 8GB of storage. The Moto G comes with Android 5.1.1 Lollipop with minimal bloatware, and you’ll get Moto-exclusive features like Moto Assist, Moto Display, and Moto Actions. Swappable back shells and Moto Maker let you customize the look to fit your style. It will cost $180 off-contract. Moto X Style The Moto X Style is Motorola’s flagship device, so it’s understandably impressive. 5.7-inch display, six-core Snapdragon 808 chip, 3GB RAM, 21MP camera, up to 64GB of storage, and a 3,000 mAh battery. The Moto X Style is the world’s fastest charging smartphone and with TurboPower just 15 minutes of charging will give you 10 hours of battery life. The US will get a “Pure Edition” and Amazon will be selling it for $400, so you can expect similar prices elsewhere. Again, swappable backs give you a lot of control over how the phone looks. Moto X Play True to its name, the Moto X Play allows for some rough fun with 48 hours of battery life and a water-repellent design. The same 21MP camera that’s on the Moto X Style let’s you take amazing pictures on the go. The Moto X Play is generally a lighter version of the Style with a 5.5-inch screen, 1.6GHz Snapdragon 615 octa-core processor, and 2GB RAM. It won’t be available in the US, but you can pick one up in Europe, Latin America, or Canada for around £299. Share This With The World!
