Moto G launched in India, priced at Rs 12,499 for 8GB and Rs 13,999 for 16 GB

Less than 2 weeks away Motorola Mobility was in news for its acquisition by the Chinese PC giant Lenovo. As expected, the acquisition has in no way impacted the launch of their Android smartphone Moto G, which has been launched in India today.

The dual SIM Android smartphone which is priced at Rs.12, 499 for the 8GB variant and Rs. 13,999 for the 16 GB one, comes with a 1.2 GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 400, Adreno 305 GPU, a 4.5-inch capacitive (1280 x 720 pixels) touch screen, and an edge-to-edge display. The phone comes with changeable rear panels in different colours.
Moto G is equipped with Android 4.3 which is upgradeable to Android 4.4 (KitKat) and has 5MP rear camera with LED flash and a 1.3MP front camera. The Moto G can shoot videos with 720p HD video capability

Moto G is equipped with Android 4.3 which is upgradeable to Android 4.4 (KitKat) and has 5MP rear camera with LED flash and a 1.3MP front camera. The Moto G can shoot videos with 720p HD video capability. It comes in 8GB and 16GB internal memory variants, with no expandable memory slots.

The phone has a 1GB RAM, 3G, WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity and a 2070 mAh battery.

The Moto G is already being declared as a game changer in the highly competitive smartphone arena, in more ways than one. The fact that it is offering premium features like a great form factor, (which has been the boast of only high end smartphones) at a much lesser cost is already creating a buzz.

The Moto G also comes with a slick, waterproof body and an almost stock version of Android, which is not easily to be found in this segment of Andriod smartphones. Even though Motorola is not a part of the Google stable any longer, we expect the Moto G to come with a "guaranteed upgrade" in the future.

With Lenovo putting its weight and cash behind Motorola, the Moto G's prospects seem bright. As of now, e-commerce major Flipkart.com has the exclusive rights to sell Moto G in India for the next 3 weeks. The phone was announced for prebooking on Snapdeal.com yesterday (to be shipped after 3 weeks) and within two hours of listing the device on its website, it garnered as many as 1,000 pre-bookings (though there was no booking amount charged).
