Motorola just announced three new smartphones that would soon be released - the Moto G (3rd Gen), Moto X Play, and Moto X Pure Edition (or Moto X Style). Yep, smartphone addicts are sure going to go crazy over these new devices. But not to get confused, what are the differences of these Motorola smartphones?
According to Droidlife, the Moto X Pure Edition is considered to be the flagship phone as it features top specs such as 21MP rear-facing camera (currently the best Motorola has ever had to date), a 5MP wide-angle front-facing cam, 5.7" QHD display, Snapdragon 808 processor, and NFC.
Moto X Style (as also known) will be available directly at Motorola, Amazon, and Best Buy. It is also available in different colors.
The Moto G (3rd Generation), on the other hand, boasts off new features. It has a Snapdragon 410 processor, 5" 720p HD Display, a 13MP rear-facing camera, and is IPX7 water-resistant.
Fans are sure going to be thrilled knowing that the Motorola Moto G's exterior can now be customized.
Lastly, the Motorola Moto X Play features a Snapdragon 615 processor, a 5'5" 1080p FHD display, 21MP rear-facing camera, 3,630mAh battery, and 4G LTE connectivity. It is also water-resistant but still, you can't have it submerged underwater for a long time.
Though Moto X Play isn't coming to the US, Motorola gives hopes to its customers by saying, "have more choices for you (US consumers) later this year."
