Various sources in the retail channel indicate that stores would begin receiving units at late August and early September, with the intention of starting sales on Day 10.The presentation would fit in at the fair IFA from Berlin, where Motorola would show the phone and enable its purchase days later. If confirmed, the Moto G2 would be released around 250 Euros, above the 179-199 euros that the original Moto G had, a change motivated by key improvements such as the screen, camera and options dual SIM y microSD.

Possible extended technical specifications

  • Screen IPS of 5 inches with resolution 1280 x 720 (720p) and protection Gorilla Glass 3.
  • Processor Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 quad core to 1,2 GHz with GPU Adreno 305.

  • Cameras: rear of 8 SM and front of 2 SM, with HD recording at 30 fps.
  • SoftwareAndroid 4.4.4 KitKat as standard and experience close to pure Android.
  • Connectivity: 3G HSPA+, dual SIM (depending on market), WiFi b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, A-GPS/GLONASS.

On the other hand, the price difference is not very logical either, since the technical specifications are very similar, with some improved components, which should not entail a large extra cost compared to the Motorola Moto G, since the cost of said components should have already been reduced. To begin with, the screen will be five inches and not 4,5 inches, although it will still not be Full HD, being high definition with a resolution of 1.280 x 720 pixels. The processor would be the same, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 quad-core capable of reaching a clock speed of 1,2 GHz, thus being the RAM memory of 1 GBThe main camera would also improve, becoming eight megapixels, with a front camera of two megapixels. Supposedly, the internal memory should be 8 GB, although it would have the possibility of being expanded by means of a card microSD, something that was impossible in the case of the Motorola Moto G.

Connectivity, variants and experience

Beyond the jump in screen and cameras, the Moto G2 is expected to retain its focus on Almost pure Android, with general fluidity and agile updates, and whose front panel has already appeared on sale. The support dual SIM In some models it will be key in emerging markets, and it is not ruled out that there are LTE versions for certain regions, maintaining the usual 3G bands in Europe and Latin America and options such as front speakers and FM radio depending on the variant.

The new Motorola G2 would be presented at the IFA, the September 10. Let's hope, however, that its price will ultimately be lower than the 250 Euros. The smartphone may already be in stock in some Australian storesIn any case, everything points to Motorola repeating the Moto G's success formula, reinforcing screen, camera y microSD expansion to continue leading the mid-range, although with a more ambitious initial price.
