While it has already been confirmed that Motorola will be launching the
dual-SIM version of the Moto G in India in early-January 2014, and that
the smartphone would be receiving a 'guaranteed' Android 4.4 KitKat the
same month, a new report says the model that will ship in India will
come pre-loaded with Google's latest iteration of Android.
It’s less than a month that Google launched the Moto G and the device has already gathered loads of accolades
for its performance, build and price. Priced at $179 which amounts to
approximately Rs 10,900 for an 8GB off-contract unit, the Moto G puts
every other budget Android smartphone to shame.
Woodside said that the device came out of a specific challenge: "How do we create a phone that's objectively as good as iPhone 5 for a third of the cost?" Looks like, the company has well passed that challenge. Many reviews of the phone say Motorola is gearing up to “disrupt” the smartphone market by making a phone that is feature packed, behaves like a premium phone, at a price point that is around one-third what premium smartphones like the Samsung Galaxy S4 and the iPhone 5s cost. Motorola is also working at bringing smartwatches to the market.
We also learned last week that Motorola is taking a thin-margin approach to the Moto G, which costs Google $123 in terms of component and assembly costs. This means Motorola has an operating profit margin of about 5 per cent for each Moto G sold. So the company is not afraid of making sacrifices to get its phone to more corners.
Here’s a quick look at the specifications of the Motorola Moto G:
The company has also announced some accessories, including Shells, Flip Shells, Grip Shells and some music accessories like JBL wireless speakers for the device.
