Motorola Moto G 3rd Gen 16GB Expert Review Summary
Verdict
The Moto G 3rd-gen variant with 2GB of RAM and 16GB storage is priced at Rs 12,999, while the other variant with half the RAM and half the storage is priced just Rs 1,000 cheaper at Rs 11,999… so picking the pricier model over the other one is really a no-brainer. In fact, we wonder why Motorola even bothered with the 1GB 8GB model at all. Our verdict therefore, is just centred around the model with 2GB RAM.. the one we’ve reviewed here. By now, you must’ve figured out where t
5-inch, 1,280 x 720 pixel display (294ppi)
Read MoreThe Moto G hasn’t really been a looker across the two generations that came out before the latest model, and even now, you’re not likely to turn heads with it. That said, the design is much better than before, and we can safely use the word elegant to describe it, if not stylish.
Read MoreYeah, seriously. The Moto G 3rd-gen comes with a 5-inch screen bearing a resolution of 1,280 x 720 pixels, translating into a pixel density of 297ppi. There’s a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass 3 on top for protection.
Read MoreThe mainstay of pretty much all Motorola smartphone offerings in the recent past has been stock Android – with no custom skins or feature spam.
Read MoreThe previous generation Moto G rocked an 8MP camera, but this time, Motorola has upped the ante when it comes to shooting capabilities by cramming in a 13-megapixel primary camera. 13MP sensors are pretty much standard is most smartphones these days, barring the budget ones and premium flagships, so the move isn’t surprising. The front 5MP snapper is also par for the course.
Read MoreThe Moto G 3rd-gen comes powered by a 1.4GHz quad-core Snapdragon 410 processor, which is a small step above from the Snapdragon 400 that powered the previous iteration. The Snapdragon 410 chipset is a value / mid-range offering from Qualcomm, and can also be found in lower-priced phones like the YU Yuphoria (review) and even Motorola’s own budget Moto E 2nd-gen 4G, though these devices have it running at a max speed of 1.2GHz. The processor is mated to 2GB of RAM (we’re reviewing the variant with 2GB RAM, remember?), which is a spec that has also trickled down to budget phones by now. However, if you dismiss the Moto G 3rd-gen based on these core specs alone, you’ll be judging the book by its cover.
