HDR / panoramic shooting / 5MP front-facing cameraĪt 142.1 x 72.4 x 11.6mm, the new Moto G is slightly larger in all dimensions than the previous generation, though it doesn’t really feel it, thanks to the curved back and tapered edges.Fixed 28mm-equivalent lens, f/2.0, 4x digital zoom.13MP 1/3-inch back-illuminated image sensor.

Where the previous two Moto G phones used a 2070mAh Li-ion cell, the new G gets a higher capacity 2470mAh power pack which Motorola is claiming will give a full 24 hours of mixed usage. Motorola hasn’t forgotten about battery life, either. The front-facing selfie camera is a new 5MP f/2.2 device. The new Moto G also gets a new 13MP main camera paired with a larger aperture f/2.0 lens for better performance in low light. IPX7-certified water resistance means the phone will be fine if you accidentally knock it into the sink or use it in the rain.

This third generation of the Moto G features a 1.4GHz quad-core processor and 1GB of RAM as standard, though unlike its predecessor, you can spec the phone with 2GB of RAM to improve performance with more demanding apps and games. The Moto G 3rd Gen comes in two performance variants: one with 8GB of internal storage and 1GB of RAM, priced at £149.99, or there’s a 16GB/2GB version which will set you back £179.99. The original Moto G redefined what you could expect from a budget smartphone, and now Motorola has released this third generation model which boasts improved camera quality along with the addition of IPX7 water resistance.
