Motorola Moto G (2015)

This Motorola Moto G (2015) or Moto G (3rd gen) is already the 3rd generation Moto G and this time standard with 4G support. Also new to this version is the water-resistant casing. What else you can expect from the Moto G (3rd gen) we would like to explain further here.

New shell, resistant to the elements

Motorola has stayed true to its 5-inch HD display. With it, you get access to 1280 by 720 pixels which gives you a pixel density of 294. That's neat and ensures sharp images. In front of this screen is a plate of Gorilla Glass 3 that is even more solid than its predecessor. As already mentioned, the casing is now waterproof thanks to an IPX7 certification. With this, the Moto G (2015) survives a rainstorm and a splash of coffee. Also, the device is said to survive 30 minutes in 1 meter of water provided the back is fully fixed. This is because it can be removed and replaced with another cover. Several colors are available.

Focus on the camera

Motorola says it has put a lot of work into the camera. It is 13 megapixels in size and the lens, thanks to the f/2.0 aperture, allows a lot of light through. That makes shooting in the dark a lot easier, you also need the flash less quickly. Motorola has placed two of them, in different colors. If you do use it, colors are captured more naturally. This is especially useful when photographing people. The camera of this Moto G (2015) also has an HDR function that ensures that photos in difficult lighting conditions are still perfectly exposed. Think of backlighting and shadows.

A whole day ahead

Compared to its predecessor(s), the Motorola Moto G (2015) gets a hefty battery of 2,470 mAh in size. According to Motorola, that should be enough for a whole day and we are inclined to believe them. Motorola has been applying Android by default for quite some time now, so there are few extras that drain the battery. Of course, you can do your best, for example by bringing in 4G internet all day. Thanks to the built-in processor (a Snapdragon 410) this fast form of internet is supported. Moreover, that processor ensures that everything runs smoothly and smoothly.
