Fourth-Gen Moto G Comes In Three Varieties

May 17, 2016, 9:00 AM by Eric M. Zeman

Motorola today announced the fourth-generation Moto G, which is a trio of handsets rather than a single phone. All three devices, which include the Moto G, Moto G Plus, and the Moto G Play, run Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow and feature slimmer designs than previous generations. The phones share a variety of functions, such as support for LTE, Bluetooth, GPS, WiFi, sensors, and micro USB. The first two phones both include 5.5-inch full HD screens, 1.5 GHz Snapdragon 617 processors with 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of storage.

Moto G: The main model includes a 13-megapixel main camera with an aperture of f/2.0, dual-LED flash, and HDR. The front camera captures wide-angle, 5-megapixel images and boasts a display-based selfie flash. Both can capture full HD video. The Moto G ships with a 3000mAh battery and supports Quick Charge. Consumers can personalize the G via Moto Maker.
Moto G Plus: The G Plus carries over most features from the G. It chiefly steps up the main camera to 16 megapixels and allows for greater customization of RAM and storage. It also adds a fingerprint reader for security.
Moto G Play: The low-end model steps the display down to 5 inches at 720p HD, drops the processor to a 1.2 GHz Snapdragon 410, lowers the main camera to 8 megapixels at f/2.2, and reduces the battery to 2800mAh. It supports rapid charging, but the charger is not included with the phone.

Motorola said that Moto G family will go on sale in select markets soon, including North America. The devices are sold unlocked with support for GSM-based carriers. Price points were not disclosed.

Moto G4

Really nice marketing for choices and price-points.
I still have my 1st Gen Moto G and it still goes great!
