Motorola’s New Budget Kings!
February 9, 2020Motorola will be launching two new smartphones for the US and Canada markets. One aims to be the budget Note 10, while the other, a practical mid-range device. They are the Moto G Stylus and Moto G Power.
The Moto G family have always consisted of solid offerings that cater to the average Joe. And both of these phones keep that same tradition alive. Sporting similar looks and hardware, each, features a punch hole 6.4-inch display and an oddly spaced, rear camera layout.
As the name suggests, the Moto G Stylus features an S Pen type stylus that can be used to edit photos, jot down notes, sketch as well as copy and paste text. It’s integrated with the phone software, meaning, once it’s taken out, the Moto Note app becomes active – even when the screen is off.
The phone has a 48MP main rear camera that is said to produce sharper and brighter 12MP photos using Quad Pixel technology. The ultra-wide angle lens can capture more detail, even when the phone is held vertically. For selfies, there’s a 16MP upfront, just like the Moto G Power.
Juice is supplied by a 4,000mAh battery, which promises up to 2 days battery life. But it’s dwarfed by the 5,000mAh one found in the Moto G Power. This isn’t just a phone – it’s a battery bank! Both phones get a Snapdragon 665 chip and 4GB RAM, so, performance won’t be an issue here.
However, unlike the 48MP shooter in the Moto G Stylus, the G Power has to make do with a 16MP one. It still has an ultra-wdie angle lens, and like its bigger brother, is equipped with a Macro Vision camera that enable, better close up shots.
They both equipped with the usual features expected of a Motorola device but the most noteworthy of the lot has to be Moto Gametime. It’s a new feature that will block unnecessary interruptions during gaming sessions. It’s basically a Do Not Disturb button for smartphones.
In the US and Canada, the the Moto G Stylus will retail for $299.99 but the G Power will be slighter cheaper at $249.99. Motorola says both phones will ship with ‘bloat-free’ version of Android 10.
