That’s exactly what’s the case with the <a href="http://rexhacker.blogspot.com/2013/11/motorola-announces-moto-g-45-inch.html" target="_blank">Moto G</a>. One of the best entry-level phones now comes with a dual-sim version for people who use two SIM cards on the go.<br /> Specs (apart from the dual stand-by mode) remain the same. You get the same 4.5″ HD display with Gorilla Glass 3.<br /> Hardware includes a 1.2Ghz Snapdragon 400 processor, 1 GB RAM, 8 or 16 GB non-expandable storage and Adreno 305. A couple of 5 megapixel and 1.3 megapixel HD cameras can also be found.<br /> Battery capacity remains at 2,070 mAh non-expandable while the OS remains Android 4.3, coupled with a thin skin from Motorola.<br /> Pricing is set at $210 for the 8 GB dual-sim model, while the 16 gig version can be had for $30. That’s $30 more than original phone but if you really want that extra SIM slot, then we think the minor price difference is worth it.</div>

Motorola Announces the Moto G: 4.5 Inch Display, Quad-Core on the Cheap

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ypFGC76mCqU/UoojQZCkj8I/AAAAAAAAER0/_SoNEFQozmQ/s1600/Motorola-Moto-G.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ypFGC76mCqU/UoojQZCkj8I/AAAAAAAAER0/_SoNEFQozmQ/s1600/Motorola-Moto-G.jpg" /></a></div> It seems as if those days have finally arrived when we would be buying inexpensive Android smartphones with top-notch specs. Motorola Moto G is certainly one of the first such phones which, regardless of the price, promises first-class experience.<br /> The younger sibling of the widely-acclaimed Moto X, the Moto G comes with a 4.5″ display with Gorilla Glass 3 protection on top. The design is undeniably inspired from the Moto X and there’s nothing bad in it.<br /> Back-cover is removable but there’s no SD card or removable battery so back-covers are purely for customization.<br /> Hardware is what you would expect to be getting at this price point. You find a Qualcomm SnapDragon 400 chipset with 1.2Ghz quad-core Cortex A7 CPU, Adreno 305 Graphics and 1 GB of RAM. Storage options are either 8 or 16 GB but both are non-expandable. Motorola will also be releasing a dual-sim variant of the Moto G in the future.<br /> The camera on the back isn’t as exciting though. It’s a 5 megapixel unit with 720p video and Flash. A 1.3 mp camera can be found on the front. Connectivity is done through Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, FM Radio, GPS, 3G and microUSB. Battery capacity is 1,950 mAh which does sound small on paper but Motorola says it is optimized to offer a 30% longer talk time than Apple’s iPhone 5s.<br /> <div class="adsxpls" id="adsxpls1" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"> </div> Rather embarrassing for Motorola, which is a Google company, the phone launches with Android 4.3 Jelly Bean but KitKat will be coming in January. It is also vanilla.<br /> Being inspired from the Moto X, the Moto G also comes with a plethora of exchangeable back-covers, 19 to be precise. But forget the features and start thinking about its price.<br /> The Motorola Moto G starts at $179 for the 8 GB version and $199 when you double the storage to 16 GB. That’s aggressive pricing, whichever way you look at it since almost no Android phones with such hardware are found at this price point, well, unless if its Chinese.<br /> Looking at its competition, we see Ashas, Lumias and cheap Androids, all of which seem a bit half-baked compared to the Moto G in one way or the other. But then again, the paper isn’t everything, is it?<br /> The phone will be available worldwide starting from January 2014.<br /> Here are the specs again:<br /> <ul> <li>Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor at 1.2GHz</li> <li>Operating system: Android 4.3 Jelly Bean (to be updated to Android 4.4 KitKat in Janurary 2014)</li> <li>Display: 4.5-inch LCD display at 1280×720 resolution, 329 ppi</li> <li> </li> <li>Weight: 143 grams</li> <li>Memory:</li> <li> <ul> <li>RAM: 1 gigabyte</li> <li>Storage: 8GB or 16GB, two free years of 50GB on Google Drive</li> </ul> </li> <li>Dimensions: 129.9 x 65.9 x 6.0-11.6 mm</li> <li>Camera:</li> <li> <ul> <li>Rear: 5 megapixels, LED flash</li> <li>Front: 1.3 megapixels</li> </ul> </li> <li>Connectivity: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, FM Radio, GPS, 3G and microUSB</li> <li>Battery: 2070 mAh (non-removable)</li> <li>Price:</li> <li> <ul> <li>$179 for 8 GB version</li> <li>$199 for 16 GB version</li> </ul> </li> </ul> </div>

Motorola Moto X Price In Pakistan

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> Motorola and three of its carrier partners - AT&T, Sprint and US Cellular - are now offering the Moto X for just $99.99 with a 2-year contract. That's exactly $100 lower than the original asking price of the US-assembled smartphone.<br /> US Cellular has an even better offer - the carrier will give you $75 back if you opt to open a new line and the Moto X will cost you just $24.99.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-vMBbzadtI1Y/Um0BF0qLVhI/AAAAAAAAD3I/pDllvz7ldkY/s1600/moto+X.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-vMBbzadtI1Y/Um0BF0qLVhI/AAAAAAAAD3I/pDllvz7ldkY/s1600/moto+X.jpg" /></a></div> Meanwhile Verizon is still selling the Moto X for $199.99 with a two-year agreement.

Note that some of these offers are available only through <a href="http://www.motorola.com/us/consumers/navigation/Moto-X/FLEXR1.html">Motorola's online shop</a> and not through the carrier's dedicated Moto X pages (as it is the case with AT&T's model).<br /> Now that the price of the Moto X has dropped to a more reasonable level, would you consider getting one?</div>

Cheaper Version of Motorola Moto X is Coming to Prepaid Markets

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fk69fhpCAAM/UgOAQVkF2hI/AAAAAAAADD0/OtSZvxDZu4A/s1600/Moto-X1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Cheaper Version of Motorola Moto X is Coming to Prepaid Markets" border="0" height="286" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fk69fhpCAAM/UgOAQVkF2hI/AAAAAAAADD0/OtSZvxDZu4A/s1600/Moto-X1.jpg" title="" width="400" /></a></div> When Motorola announced the much-hyped Moto X smartphone a few days back, it made it clear that the device certainly isn’t for the masses. It further made that fact clear by deciding not to release that phone in Europe, a decidedly important market.<br /> That last step wasn’t without a reason though. Very soon after the launch, the company’s CEO revealed in an interview to CNET that a phone carrying the Moto X brand name will be released soon and that the Moto X is just the first smartphone of this lineup.<br /> Motorola hinted that its relatively low-priced – i.e. under USD 200 – Moto X smartphones will be designed and priced to appeal to international customers in markets where people generally don’t buy subsidized devices.<br /> “Moto X is the brand that we are most focused on,” Dennis Woodside, CEO Motorola Mobility, said. “And there is more to come. You will see additional products within months. The experience of devices you can get for less than $200 is subpar right now. We want everyone to have access to affordable smartphones.”<br /> While he didn’t reveal the date of the phone’s release, it should hit the market later this year. Woodside made it clear that that product will be targeted towards prepaid markets. That’s undeniably important for Motorola which is currently bleeding money at an alarming pace.<br /> <i>Via </i><a href="http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-57596629-94/motorola-ceo-dont-worry-cheaper-moto-x-in-the-works/" target="_blank"><i>CNET</i></a></div>
