Motorola Moto G (2015) listed accidentally on FlipKart


motorola_logo_2015_lenovo_company

Over the weekend, packaging for the Moto G (2015) leaked online. And now one retailer has activated its listing for Motorola’s upcoming phone days before launch on July 28.

Indian retailer FlipKart is already mentioning the Moto G (2015) on its site. The specifications confirm that the mid-range handset will come with 1GB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage (for the base model) and be priced at 11,999 Rs. There is a big chance we will see multiple variants with this year’s Moto G, most likely with different storage capacities.

The handset will be announced simultaneously in New York City, Sao Paulo, and London. The livestream will be accessible to everyone when the global event starts at 9:00AM ET on Tuesday. We could see as many as three new handsets launched at the event, including the Moto X (2015) and a new version of the Moto 360.

Next-gen Moto G box shots spoil almost everything


Moto G 3rd-generation out of the box

The third-generation Moto G has been one of Motorola’s poorest-kept secrets in recent memory, and things certainly aren’t getting any better this weekend. A Brazilian retailer has inadvertently posted (and promptly pulled) unboxing photos that confirm nearly everything you’d care to know about Moto’s latest budget smartphone. The pics show that the new G will pack a 1.4GHz quad-core processor (up from the current model’s 1.2GHz chip), a 13-megapixel rear camera, a 5-megapixel front shooter and colorful shells. It’s also safe to say that at least some models will tout 5-inch 720p screens, 16GB of storage, dual SIM slots and (in Brazil’s case) digital TV tuning.

There are still some unknowns, such as whether or not there will be significant differences between versions — will you get more RAM and storage if you have a little extra cash on hand? Even so, it’s reasonable to say that the G likely to show up at Motorola’s July 28th event will be a welcome but incremental upgrade — it’s the next-gen Moto X that should be the star of the show.

Report: Moto X (2015) price leak indicates the device will cost $179.99


motorola-moto-g-3rd-gen-black

2015 is shaping up to be quite interesting as far as Motorola products go. For the past two years, attention largely focused on the flagship Moto X, then shifted focus to the mid-range Moto G, and finally finished off with the entry level Moto E. This year however, seemingly all the talk is touting the features and nuances of the Moto G (2015) due in large part to the substantial leaks that have appeared for the hardware.

Even though we are just days away from the July 28th press event Motorola is planning (presumably) to unveil its new handsets, the leaks just keep on coming. Thanks to a screenshot obtained from a U.S. Cellular inventory management database, we now know what will apparently be the price for the Moto G (2015): $179.99. This is essentially the exact same price last year’s model launched at, which is quite impressive when considering just what the device is said to be packing.

According to leaks to-date, the Moto G will have a 5-inch Full HD AMOLED display, come with 2GB of RAM, a 1.7GHz Quad-core Snapdragon 610 CPU, 8 or 16GB of storage, may have water resistance, LTE, and come with Android 5.1.1. It will apparently also be sold on Motorola’s website where buyers can make use of Moto Maker, the first for the G-series.

It will be interesting to see how the Moto G fares, along with the X and rumored X Sport that are said to be announced alongside with this device come Tuesday. Given that these will be the first products launched in the company’s post-Google world, Lenovo might try for a more aggressive advertising campaign or promotional angle to try and garner higher sales. Likewise, if the devices prove to be quite popular, it might spur Lenovo to actively get into the smartphone game in Western markets, using the Moto series as a segue.

Android Authority this week – July 26, 2015


Sony Xperia Z4 Tablet-6

Android fans, this week was all about leaks and rumors. With three hot devices landing over the next weeks, there’s a lot to geek over about! The Galaxy Note 5 now has a reliable launch date attached to its name. A slew of leaks revealed almost everything there is to know about the 3rd generation Moto G, as well as a bunch of details about the next Moto X. We got our first look at the OnePlus 2 and learned a few more details about its camera. Samsung introduced its new flagship tablet series, the Galaxy Tab S2. And finally, Ubik Uno brought something unique to the table, via Kickstarter.

Back to what we love most: new devices. Next week sounds like fun! On Monday, OnePlus will unleash into the world its “2016 Flagship Killer”. And yes, that is not a typo! In all seriousness, we’re excited for this device, especially since it looks like it will be just as affordable as the first gen. Motorola’s new Moto G and Moto X are just itching for the spotlight too, and hopefully there are still some surprise left in store. We’re attending both events (Josh in San Francisco, Lanh in New York), so you can expect some mighty fine coverage.

The prize in our weekly giveaway is a living classic. The Galaxy S6 will be remembered as the phone that changed Samsung’s reputation, and now you can stand to win one. Just head over to the sweepstakes page to get your ticket.

The 28th of July can’t get here quick enough. In yet another leak of the Motorola Moto G 3rd gen (2015), the full contents of its retail box have been laid bare for the whole Internet to gawk at. In it, we see the Moto G itself (of course), a number of additional coloured shells for customization, and the usual assortment of power cables and such. From the packaging, we can confirm pretty much everything we already knew about the device – the Moto G 3rd gen will be running Snapdragon 1.4GHz processor, have a 5-inch 720p display, 13MP rear camera, 5MP front camera, 16GB storage (though a 8GB variant is also likely) and the device has a IPX7 rating for water resistance. Check out the leaked images in more detail below:

We’re also expecting Motorola to announce that the Moto G 3rd gen will be available through Moto Maker, which will increase the amount of customization that will be possible with the device’s appearance – though this service will likely still be restricted to the US only. With that, there’s really nothing else that could possibly leak out before the announcement event on July 28th, though I’m sure somebody will prove me wrong.

motorola_logo_six_styles

Every last thing about the Moto G (2015) is being discovered prior to its announcement on July 28. The handset will come with plenty of customization options and offer mid-range specifications. A promotional video also leaked really showcasing what the new Moto G will be about. Now, details have come out about the handset’s pricing.

US Cellular plans to sell the handset for $179 off-contract which is the same as its predecessor, the Moto G (2014). These details come from a recent report in the carrier’s internal systems under SKU 186978.

You can watch the livestream on Tuesday morning at 9:00AM ET.

The livestream for the July 28th Motorola event will go live at 9am ET

It’s all happening now. Motorola has announced on its Twitter account that the livestream for the July 28th Motorola event will go live at 9am ET – the event is expected to feature the announcement of the Moto X 3rd gen and Moto G 3rd gen; secretly, we’re hoping the new Moto 360 is announced too. Throughout all its teases of the event, Motorola has been referring to a change in relationship status i.e. the relationship between a phone and a person and Motorola contends that a “better mobile relationship is on its way”.


Also, we might be reading into their graphic a little too much, but the “O” in the “XOX” looks awfully like a “G” instead, which could be a subtle hint that the new Moto G and Moto X are indeed going to be announced at this event.

Motorola Moto G 2015 stars in hands-on ahead of launch


Moto G 2015 early hands on

Just yesterday, specifications were leaked for the upcoming Moto G 2015 model and now a fully working handset has landed into the hands of reviewers over at LaptopMedia, all ahead of the smartphone’s official launch in just a few days.

The overall look is relatively familiar to previous generation Moto G handsets, with the exception of the strip on the back. The reviewers also pointed out that the build quality is apparently up to par with other more expensive flagship smartphones on the market. Let’s hope that this bold claim is accurate and not just a result of a little over-excitement, as it would be impressive if Motorola can improve the build quality while still retaining a roughly $200 price tag.

Unfortunately, the hands-on doesn’t reveal anything about the Moto G’s internal hardware. The latest leak that we have to go on suggests that the phone will come equipped with a 5.0-inch 720p resolution display, 4G LTE connectivity, Android 5.1.1 Lollipop, a quad-core 1.4GHz Snapdragon 410 processor, 8GB or 16GB of on-board storage, a 13MP rear camera and a 5MP front-facing camera.

There has also been several mentions of an IPX7 certification for water resistance up to one meter, which is a nice addition and may explain the better feeling build quality.

The Moto G 2015 is scheduled to launch on July 28th at an event taking place in New York, so there isn’t long left to wait for all of the official details.
