Moto G Emerges at More Retailers, Full Specs Confirmed

Tomorrow, mobile phone maker Motorola will make official yet another Android-based smartphone, namely the Moto G, a mid-range device that has emerged online quite a few times before.

Prior to its official unveiling, however, the smartphone made it to the websites of various retailers out there, and it looks like its full specs list has been confirmed. Yesterday, we spotted the device listed at Amazon UK, but it seems that UK retailer Tesco also had it on its website briefly, and that German retailer Phone House made a similar move, as the Unwired reports. In addition to confirming the near release of the smartphone, said listings also offered a glimpse at the full hardware specs list that Moto G will arrive on shelves with. Just as previously rumored, the phone will pack a 4.5-inch touchscreen display capable of delivering a 1280 x 720 pixel resolution, and will be powered by a 1.2 GHz quad-core processor. 

Furthermore, the new mobile phone will hit the market with support for quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE and UMTS/HSDPA frequencies, but it might not include LTE connectivity capabilities, it seems. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS receiver, and the like will also be included in the package. On the back, Moto G will feature a 5-megapixel camera capable of recording videos in HD resolution, paired with a 1.3-megapixel front camera that allows users to make video calls while on the go. The specs list of the new device also includes 1GB of RAM, along with 8GB of internal memory. Unfortunately, the listings do not offer info on whether a microSD memory card slot will also be included in the mix. Moto G will be powered by a 2070mAh Li-Ion battery, will measure 129.9 x 65.9 x 6-11.6 mm, and will weigh 143 grams.

Motorola and Google will launch the new device with Android 4.3 Jelly Bean loaded on top right from the start, though chances are that an upgrade to the newer Android 4.4 KitKat will be provided in the not too distant future.
