The most anticipated Android smartphone from last year, comes with a 4.5-inch bright and vivid LCD display offering a resolution of 1280 x 720pixels and a pixel density of 329 ppi.

It also has a waterproof nano-coating inside and out, making the phone rugged. It is powered by a quad-core processor clocked at 1.2GHz and comes coupled with 1GB of RAM. The Moto G runs on Android 4.3 Jelly Bean operating system. But before you jump into any conclusion, Motorola has clarified that they will be rolling the Android 4.4 Kitkat update soon for the device.

The smartphone comes with 8GB and 16GB storage variants. The primary camera can shoot images in 5MP while the secondary camera is good for 1.3MP images.

The Moto G is stuffed with a 2,070mAh battery, which will last all day, claims Motorola.

The company has not disclosed the price of the device as of now but you can expect the 8GB variant of the Moto G at Rs. 14,000. The advent of the smartphone at this price point might make the domestic smartphone makers more competitive. While Samsung would have a healthy player at the mid-range smartphone market.
