The test third-generation Motorola Moto G. Pure Android is not all – dobreprogramy

The new series of smartphones Motorola raises our interest for several weeks. Their first presentation gave us a real reason for optimism that has been slightly dampened information on market prices of these devices in Poland. In the end, we can finally verify that the third generation of Moto G has a chance to repeat the success of its predecessors.

You have to take into account that Moto G is the cheapest smartphone series, and its direct competitors are far from occupying the headlines industry presses iPhone ‘s or Galaxy S. It is clear, therefore, that the technical specification of the new Motorola is somewhat the result of a compromise between the necessity of fitting into a limited budget, and providing users with the best possible performance.

Technical points Moto G

Display device, made in IPS has a resolution of 720p and a diagonal length of 5 inches, number of pixels per square inch is therefore a decent, though far from ideal, 294. On the screen hard to complain – its colors are alive and well mapped, contrast high and the touch-sensitive sensors. The whole is protected by Corning Gorilla glass, the third generation.

When describing technikaliów third of the Moto G’s hard not to relate to her, published a year ago, the predecessor. The differences can be summarized by saying that the new Moto in the vast majority of parameters is bigger or better. Not all, however, and reducing financial obligations on designers smartphone also caused a setback. A small indeed – compared to last year’s views, the new G run out of the optical image stabilizer and stereo speaker.

The device is equipped Snapdragon processor 400 has four core Cortex-A7 CPU, clocked at a frequency of 1.2 GHz. In addition, the device offers 1 GB of RAM. In a variant, which we tested, the size of the internal memory is 8 GB. There is also a version with 16 GB, but not as part of the official distribution channels in Poland. In addition, during the meeting with the representatives of Motorola we learned that you should not expect to have changed in the near future. The battery capacity of 2470 mAh allows approximately 36 hours of operation on a single charge, attention quick charging.

Solid, but blocky. Moto need color!

Moto G comfortable in the hand, but its design is quite primitive. The only thing which might be interested in this smartphone in terms of appearance, it is possible to create your own color scheme using the available packages of the rear flap. Their prices have to start from 50 zł. There is going to be like in the future in Poland was possible to buy a mobile, customized to your aesthetic preferences by using Moto Maker.

The problem with the appearance of the smartphone, now in their second generation, was his … symmetry. Silver strips opaque speaker and microphone were there the same length, which meant that the phone had an axis of symmetry. This in turn gave rise to practical problems. When reaching for the phone, often seized him vice versa. In the case of the new Moto issue, despite the apparent taken in this direction steps (strip the microphone is about 1 cm longer than the top), start using the smartphone still like playing roulette.

All the edges of the casing are well-rounded, like as the plane rear side, making it easier to capture (and then grasping the second time, this time in a suitable return) of the device. The upper edge is a mini jack on the bottom miniUSB. On the right hand, placed volume button and power switch, the only physical buttons. On the rear part there is a longitudinal island with a camera arranged thereon and a double LED. Below is housed while very comfortable hollow bearing the logos of Motorola, which, when operating the phone with one hand, he lands the tip of the index finger. This simple solution quite significantly enhances the usability and the feeling of grip.

That comfort, however, is moderate. Fold boring as health and safety training, black silicone flap, which was in the copy provided to the editor, it falls just slightly. There is of course no question of weaning visible elements, but when you use that moment we could hear the creaking of silicone uncomfortable and felt “play” on the back. Device dimensions 142.1 × 72.4 × 11.6 mm, weight is 149 grams.

With undisguised eagerness proceeded to test water resistance – Moto G has a classification IPX7, which is expected to enable full waterproof for up to 30 minutes of immersion. The test has been completed successfully. It is surprising, however, that the housing Motorola does not leak when removed from the water and smartphone image back cover, the water simply drips out of its interior. It was enough, however, the application of nano-coatings, tight covering of slots for the SIM card and microSD and the fact that Moto G has a completely built-up and niewyjmowalną battery. All this makes the smartphone, though definitely far from being however understood tightness, ensures fully functional, even after half an hour of swimming.

To summarize the issue of appearance – is blocky, but firmly. And waterproof. It is difficult to criticize the device for which one of the main reasons sales are colored casing. Although delivered to us a copy looks pretty miserable, we have no doubt that the energetic colors will bring in appearance Moto G a lot of attractiveness and originality, which devalue our justified in the context of black flip flops, grumbling.

Android clean as Woman of the heart

A considerable crowd of devoted fans Motorola daily pacierzu probably thank the Most High for the man who first came up with the idea to sell the unmodified Android phones. Conscious seem to be that the personnel responsible for marketing – the most advanced model of the series, sold in Europe under the name Style, won the US title of the Pure. It’s hard not to agree with the company because of such a policy – unmodified Android version 5.1.1 performs just fine.

Sort of just the operating system, the transparency of its interface untainted by any modifications, makes satisfaction from the use of Motorola It is at such a high level. We are dealing with a well-made device niezachwycającej technical specifications, but it has in itself is “something” that makes you want to use it. We have no doubt – “something” is the Android original release.

The rate, liquidity and stability of the interface will not be reflected in investigating performance benchmarks. In a standard test, AnTuTu Moto G received 22 718 points, which is hardly in this price segment (which by the way is disappointment, which immediately) for an impressive result. Moto G may not be the device on which to play the latest mobile productions. However, the pleasure that comes with transparency and speed of unmodified operating system may be a cause of envious glances holders even several times more expensive devices.

Comparison of the results with AnTuTu benchmark. The more points the better

The camera that bends reality

In the case of two higher models in the new series, the manufacturer boasts that they have cameras the best-in-class (eventually in the top three of his class ). For Moto G refrain from such statements, but camera with a resolution 13 megapixel still had to impress image quality. Their quality, both in good light, and in case you need more light, you can not complain. Worse, if you look at the photographs made by Moto G … ruler.

Unfortunately, the camera curves perspective. This is particularly evident in the following example in which the reference point may be a grid in a notebook. Not difficult to see, with the naked eye is quite large stretch the image towards the top left edge. After applying a desktop precise ruler, it turns out that the difference between the point of the upper and lower corner of the notebook is on the horizontal axis 10 pixels. You can not say that this phenomenon is noticeable.

The camera has an automatic HDR mode and the ability to record video at a maximum resolution of 1080p at 30 frames per sekundę.Cóż that the image quality is high, and the camera does well even in poor lighting conditions, when made by Moto G photographs are, in short and bluntly, curves.

Summary

Moto G is not a smartphone perfect as it seems that such opinions circulate among professed lovers of Motorola equipment. Especially considering the frustrating fact that in Poland the price of 900 zł, is almost twice higher than in the United States. Such an unacceptable state of affairs does not save even additional functions such as the ability to run a flashlight or camera applications with the flick.

There can be no doubt that the smartphone will find its fans and has for a number of reasons. In fact, in every aspect of the new Moto G surpasses its predecessor. The third series of the cheapest views Moto is not under any circumstances disappointment. It’s still a very good device, which develops known from previous generations of the concept of a simple smartphone with unmodified Android and introduces her to a new level.
