We found out from leaks before that this year's edition of Motorola's
Moto G will get support for the MotoMaker customization service,
and now a new leak out of Brazil brings us even more details about the device’s
market avaliability.
According to the leak out from Brazil ,it's said to be
announced on July 28, and it should go on sale in Brazil on the same day. Soon
after Chile will be the next country to flag on the Moto G in August.
Along with the unveiling info also comes a full spec list
for the Moto G (2015). The device will be powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 410
chipset, with a 1.4 GHz quad-core Cortex-A53 CPU and Adreno 306 GPU. The phone
will have a few different iterations, it seems, as both 8GB and 16GB of
built-in storage will be offered (and that will be expandable via microSD
cars).
Additionally, we'll
see one model with 1GB of RAM and another with 2GB. So the one with 1GB of RAM
might get just 8GB of storage, whereas the variant with 2GB of RAM will
probably have 16GB of space.
The device is expected to feature a 5-inch 720p touchscreen,
a 13 MP rear camera, a 5 MP selfie snapper, as well as a 2,470 mAh battery.
Interestingly, the new Moto G is also said to come with IPx7
certification, meaning it will be water resistant up to 1m for up to 30
minutes. It doesn't look like it will sport dust resistance too, though. In
Brazil it will reportedly start at BRL 899, which at the current exchange rates
means $287 or €261, but you shouldn't have a shock - smartphones are much more
expensive in Brazil than elsewhere. Internationally, we expect the Moto G
(2015) to be priced similarly to its predecessors.
