Display and Camera
Motorola Moto G LTE 2015 comes fitted with a 5-inch display with a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels. The screen is protected with a Corning Gorilla Glass 3 shield. The device has an 8-megapixel rear camera with LED flash, HDR, and autofocus. Motorola Moto G LTE also has a 2MP front-facing shooter.
Power and Performance
The new Moto G LTE’s performance is driven by a 1.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 series quad-core processor along with a 450MHz Adreno 305 GPU for graphics. It uses a battery with a capacity of 2390mAh, which represents a somewhat significant improvement on the 2070mAh battery provided for the Moto G 3G models.
Out of the box, the Motorola Moto G LTE 2015 could run on the Android 4.4.4 KitKat operating system, but over-the-air update to the Android 5.0 Lollipop will be available for devices that do not ship with the latest operating system.
Other Key Specifications
The second-generation Moto G smartphone comes with 1GB of RAM and 16GB internal storage capacity, expandable up to 32GB with a microSD card. Connectivity options provided include Bluetooth 4.0 LE, 3.5mm audio jack, micro USB and Wi-Fi (802.11 ac).
Motorola Moto G LTE also supports 4G LTE network connectivity capability – that is already obvious from its name. This means users can hope to enjoy faster connection when using a 4G network.
Motorola Moto G 4G 2015 was officially released in Brazil at the end of January and sold for less than $350 – a price that is not too expensive considering the phone’s specs and features. The smartphone, which is available in lemon and black colours, should go on sale in more countries soon.
