Motorola Moto G (3rd Gen) - Specifications. Cheap waterproof smartphone - Motorola Moto G (3rd) The radio of the mobile device is a built-in FM receiver

Main characteristics of Motorola Moto G 3rd gen

The third generation Moto G has only one drawback, but what a drawback! Price! However, “this is not a bug, this is a feature.” The brand positions itself expensively. With all the ensuing consequences.

If you look at the boring spec numbers, our Moto G is borderline reasonable. This is the lower level, at which it is even more or less comfortable to live right now. Install a slightly worse processor or less memory or cut down the screen resolution - that's it, goodbye, you will get a frankly budget smartphone with which you are uncomfortable.

There are a million different models at this lower limit of rationality. They crowd together, trying to survive. Saves pennies. Saving on cameras, materials, and something else is a nice thing.

Motorola did it differently. A lot of nice little things, a minimum of savings. Screen with oleophobic coating, nice non-slip body, waterproof, high-quality cameras, perfect GPS performance, latest version of Android, etc. As for me, it’s a dream - not a smartphone.

But the price...Moto G is very expensive for its features. Who will buy it?

It's like sugar. There is expensive brown cane and cheap regular white. Both are sweet. Who will buy the expensive one? Only those for whom it doesn’t make much difference how much to pay - one hundred rubles or fifty.

So it is here. If you need to buy a “simple smartphone”, but still don’t care how much to pay for it, the Moto G is the way to go.

This is probably how it should be with “premium products,” huh? I really liked the Moto G, it's a great smartphone. But just thinking about buying it, I begin to imagine a toad the size of a hippopotamus.

Price

The official price of Motorola Moto G 3rd generation is 17 thousand rubles. If you buy from MegaFon, 1,500 rubles will be returned to your account. “Grey” devices can be found for 13 thousand. But the abundance of tasty gray offers is somehow missing.

Competitors

The competition is in trouble. Take Wileyfox Swift for example. Same specs, just twice as much memory. And it costs two and a quarter times less.

But okay Wileyfox. The brand is new, little known, suspicious. What if these are third-tier Chinese?

But Huawei, Meizu, LG, Lenovo are serious people.

Equipment

The smartphone itself, pieces of paper, charming replaceable panels. The standard package also includes, as usual, a charger and a Micro-USB cable, but the smartphone came to me for testing without them.

Appearance

Weight155 g
Size142.1 x 72.4 x 11.6 mm
ProtectionIPX7

Classic. Quite weighty and thick. If you are a fan of slippery dystrophic smartphones, pass by. No one bothered about any super-thin bezels around the screen either - this is the prerogative of top-end smartphones, which Motorola does not classify its Moto G as. That's why the frames are thick.

Ideal shape - rounded at the back, comfortable to hold. The plastic panels are notched. The sides are smooth. The assembly is high quality. The plastic is strong - there are no scratches on the device, although I am clearly not the first to test it.

The back panel is removable, the battery is not. Under the socket is a slot for a Micro-SD memory card and one Micro-SIM. Dual-SIM Moto Gs with support for our LTE frequencies theoretically exist somewhere in Asia (model XT1550). But they are not available for sale.

The most interesting thing is, of course, protection from moisture (but not from dust). You can heat it for up to half an hour. But only if it’s accidental and not very deep:

Capable of withstanding immersion to a depth of 1 m for up to 30 minutes, provided the back panel is securely closed. Not designed to operate when completely submerged in water. Do not use while swimming or expose to currents of water. Not protected from dust penetration.

Boring details about appearance

Above the screen there is a telephone speaker, sensors, and a front camera. Unfortunately, there is no LED.

Under the screen there is a strip of loud speaker (yes, it’s here in front), which also hides the microphone. There are no Android buttons; they are drawn on the screen if necessary.

On the back there is a camera and flash. Combined with the Motorola logo with a tricky stripe that you just want to click on.

Top. 3.5mm audio output and noise canceling microphone.

Bottom. Micro-USB connector.

On the right is the power-lock button and volume rocker.

The left is empty.

The Snapdragon 410 is not the weakest of Qualcomm's 4G-capable chips, but it doesn't differ too much from its little brother Snapdragon 210 in terms of performance.

However, the Moto G turned out to be quite peppy. I don’t know what I need to say thank you for here. Either because the processor is overclocked to 1.4 GHz, or because of the sixth Android, or because the hands of Motorola programmers are growing out of nowhere.

RAM, of course, is not enough, I would like more. Everything is as usual here.

Flash memory is also obscenely small, but you can use a memory card to install applications. Android, however, will definitely encrypt it... That is. You won’t be able to take the card out of your smartphone, stick it into the reader and quickly download photos. Safety, of course, is our everything. But, in my opinion, in their sixth Android they overdid something. For example, I cursed for a long time when I realized that my GPS tracks were recorded somewhere where only the navigation program had access. Yes, they are on the memory card. But it is impossible to reach them. Neither using a file manager, nor by dissecting a memory card. No way.

The set of sensors is typical. Compass, accelerometer, proximity, illumination.

Communication with the outside world

Everything works, nothing to talk about.

Screen

A very decent IPS matrix with Gorilla Glass 3. Good brightness, sufficient resolution. There are no newfangled 2.5D fillets.

The coating is quite slippery. Obviously oleophobic. But oleophobicity is not top-level. Either it was like this in life, or it managed to wear out during previous tests.

Operating system and other software

According to the official website, Android should be 5.1.1 Lollipop. Exactly the same information is available on the websites of large stores.

However, the device that arrived was Android 6.0 Marshmallow. Well, it was nice to meet you. I had never met the six before.

At first, when you install the usual set of software, the new permission system really bothers you. But she is reasonable, so what can she do?

Battery

The battery is average in capacity - 2470 mAh. The battery test results are also expectedly average - 143% of the standard. Normal good result. It’s difficult to plant to zero in a day; it’s unlikely to last two days in my mode of use.

Motorola Moto G 3rd gen as a photo and video camera

I was pleased with the cameras, both of them. What is the main one, what is the front one. Fast. The pictures are good. There are examples in front of you, look.

Night ones, however, are not top-level. But a smartphone is not a top-end one either. In short, I'm pleasantly surprised by the cameras. With such people, it’s probably not a shame to even go on a hike, take pictures of the sights and yourself against their background.

Example video

Front-camera:

Ideal. I don’t remember ever seeing such smooth tracks. Fast signal acquisition, no losses, GLONASS support.

Given the decent screen and good battery, it's a very reasonable choice for travel.

Motorola Moto G 3rd gen as a toy

The toy quality of the Moto G is entirely determined by the hardware used. You can't jump over this limitation. And yes, there are problems with heavy toys. If you can't live without cool mobile games, look for something else.

The Moto G series smartphones, after their introduction in 2013, have enjoyed steady interest among users. No wonder. The two previous generations were thought out to the smallest detail. Their design focuses on the core aspects of the phone rather than on useless features.

A few days ago, the third generation Moto G premiered. At first glance, the smartphone continues the philosophy of previous models from 2014. But what changes can we expect from the new product?

Review of Motorola Moto G (3 gen.)

From an ergonomic point of view, the Motorola Moto G (3 gen.) is very similar to its predecessor. There is a 5-inch IPS display with a resolution of 1280x720 pixels. The device body has identical dimensions to the second generation.

The first noticeable change that catches your eye is the grilles behind which the speakers (main and intercom) are hidden. The back cover is covered with a ribbed structure, which makes the smartphone more stable in the hand.

The main camera contains a rectangular frame with rounded edges, where the Motorola logo is discreetly printed. The frame is made of plastic stylized as metal. This element is a personal highlight of the third generation.

Performance

The heart of the smartphone is the popular 64-byte Snapdragon MSM8916 Qualcomm 410 processor with four cores at 1.4 GHz. Adreno 306 is responsible for graphics. Computing power is average, but excellent for games and multimedia. By the way, Motorola Moto G (3 gen.) was included in our.

The new product has the latest version of Android 5.1.1. The OS is maximally optimized for fast work and runs smoothly, so that you don’t feel any discomfort.

With the launch of the new model, Motorola decided to introduce LTE network support in the basic version. There are currently two versions: 1 GB of RAM and 8 GB of internal memory; and 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of internal storage. In our tests we used the first version of Motorola Moto G (3 gen.). The actual free memory turned out to be 4.6 GB, but fortunately you can expand this parameter thanks to the microSD slot.

Good camera

The most significant improvement over last year's generation is the rear camera. The sensor used is Sony Exmor IMX214, which is installed in the Nexus 6, OnePlus One and Alcatel OneTouch Idol 3. Thus, you can take high-quality photos with 13 megapixels.

Ease of use

Case dimensions 142.1 x 72.4 x 11.6 mm. This is a couple of millimeters larger than its predecessor, and the 4G version is in some respects larger than the base model - 141.5 x 70.7 x 11. Such differences are associated with an 80 mAh battery increase, when, as in the regular Motorola Moto G (3 gen.) costs 2470 mAh.

The body is made of good, hard plastic, and individual elements are rubberized, which complies with the IPX7 standard. In general, the smartphone is waterproof and can be submerged to a depth of 1 meter.

Motorola has taken care of accessories in the form of a replacement back cover. Initially, the smartphone can be purchased in light and dark colors, but thanks to different covers, the device transforms into a stand-out highlight.

Battery

Battery life during the test was 11 hours 23 minutes (with screen brightness at 40%), 9 hours 9 minutes (web browsing with Wi-Fi), 19 hours 18 minutes (3G enabled). This is a really good result for the battery.

In practice, Motorola Moto G (3 gen.) can last 1.5-2 days.

Conclusion

From the first minutes of using the Motorola Moto G (3 gen.), you understand that literally every dollar spent on a purchase is worth it. For less than $230 you can get a great smartphone. Take, for example, a durable and waterproof case - at a price of up to $250, only a few devices can boast of this parameter.

Another advantage is the excellent optimization of Android 5.1.1.

Final Score:

  • Convenient housing
  • Excellent ergonomics
  • Waterproof
  • Debugged Android
  • Good quality photos and videos from the camera
  • Good display quality
  • High battery life
  • microSD slot

Minuses:

  • Charger not included
  • Additional accessories (back covers) are not yet available in the CIS and Russia.

Motorola Moto G 3rd gen is a representative of the third generation of relatively affordable, but high-quality and balanced smartphones in the Moto G line. The model went on sale in 2015. The buyer can expect such surprises as moisture protection, replaceable panels, etc.

Most of the characteristics of the smartphone correspond to a budget device,However, its average price is 241 USD for the version with 2 GB of RAM. It is found on store shelves most often because it is considered more relevant. For the version with 1 GB of RAM they ask for approximately 228 USD. Prices are current at the time of writing this review. It's still not cheap. This is understandable, because Motorola is not Meizu or Xiaomi. Nevertheless, the model is interesting and deserves attention.

Specifications Motorola Moto G 3rd gen

Most of the technical components can be compared with much cheaper devices from 2015.

Design, design features

The appearance of the device is perceived as very ambiguous. On the one hand, we see side frames that are quite large by today’s standards, as well as an impressive thickness of the case. In the middle, in the most convex part, the thickness reaches 11.6 mm.

On the other hand, we see the sloping shape of the body, thanks to which the device fits comfortably in the hand.

Separately, it is worth mentioning the back cover - it is removable, and the kit includes 2 additional back panels of different colors.

The cover material is plastic, but it is rubberized and has a texture, so it fits securely in the hand, and abrasions and scratches appear very reluctantly on such a surface.

The frame is also plastic, although it has a “metal” finish. The front part is covered with high-strength protective glass Gorilla Glass 3. Case dimensions: 142.1 x 72.4 x 11.6 mm. Weight - 155 grams.

CPU

The 64-bit Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 processor is responsible for the performance of the device. The system on the chip consists of 4 Cortex-A53 cores, the maximum frequency of which can reach 1.4 GHz. Adreno 306 is used as the graphics subsystem. In general, this is a fairly budget solution and this processor can be called the most popular, as it was installed in many budget and mid-budget models in 2015-2016.

For quick work in the interface and any applications, in the browser, etc., the power is quite enough. If we test the smartphone’s hardware in Antutu, we get a little over 24 thousand points (we are talking about the version with 1 GB of RAM).

As for games, almost all of them run on this smartphone. But in the most demanding ones, normal operation will require a significant reduction in the quality of textures and disabling resource-intensive visual effects.

Memory

There are two versions of the smartphone: with 1 GB of RAM and 8 GB of main memory, as well as with 2/16 GB. The user will have approximately 4 and 12 GB available for data storage, respectively. The internal storage can be easily expanded using a MicroSD flash drive.

As for the amount of RAM, you need to choose the version according to your needs. The 1 gigabyte version works flawlessly, there is enough RAM for the smooth operation of the interface and the simultaneous launch of several applications. But games will work better with 2 gigabytes.

Autonomous operation

The capacity of the installed battery is 2470 mAh. Autonomy is quite expected: under moderate loads the battery lasts a day. For users who tend to save power, the battery will last for one and a half, maximum two days. With continuous video viewing at average brightness of the display backlight, the battery lasts 9 hours; with active web surfing via a WiFi network, you can count on 6 hours of continuous operation, with the same display brightness. And 3D games can be played for 3 hours.

Using the 5V/550 mA charger that comes with the kit, the charge level from 0 to 100% is replenished for quite a long time: more than 4 hours. Therefore, it is recommended to immediately buy yourself a more powerful power supply.

Camera

The main camera is a 13-megapixel module, with dual LED flash and F/2.0 aperture. In good sunny weather, the camera produces decent pictures. Color rendition is fine, noise is not noticeable. At short distances the detail is quite good, but at medium distances the camera is already starting to lose ground. The most distant objects appear blurred.

When shooting in low light conditions, the camera does not behave in the best way: noise, loss of detail and grain are guaranteed. A standard scenario even for more expensive devices. The device is more than suitable for detailed shooting: in good lighting we get excellent detail of objects.

The Moto G 3rd gen has a very good 5 MP front camera with an F/2.2 aperture. The resulting photographs are distinguished by good detail and the absence of blur on the object that is “in focus.” I'm glad that there is an HDR mode. In short, the front camera is very good.

Display

Moto G 3rd gen received a screen with a diagonal of 5 inches. The HD resolution (1280 x 720) is quite sufficient for such a diagonal. The pixel density is 294 PPI. The type of matrix used is IPS. The screen boasts good viewing angles, high-quality, contrasting images, and an adequate reserve of maximum brightness. In the sun, the picture remains readable, despite the fact that it becomes faded. The protective glass has a good oleophobic layer.

Networking capabilities

Single-SIM smartphone. Supported network standards are GSM, HSDPA and LTE. In short, there are several different modifications of this smartphone, which differ in the list of operating frequencies. Therefore, it would be wise to check for which region the model is intended before purchasing.

The following set of communications is available: Bluetooth 4.0, WiFi operating only in the 2.4 GHz band, support for GPS navigation (with A-GPS) and GLONASS. All network modules work properly and maintain stable connections.

Sound

The main multimedia and calling speaker is located in front, under the screen. The sound quality is acceptable, there are no squeaks or extraneous noise. But the volume is not the highest, although it is enough for calls and alarms. With headphones, the situation changes for the better: there is a volume reserve, and the sound quality is quite decent, at least for users without special requirements for the sound component.

Software part

Upon purchase, the device runs on Android 5.1 OS, but you can upgrade to Android 6.0 via OTA (over-the-air update). I was pleased with the very good optimization of the software: the interface simply flies. The manufacturer did not install a third-party shell, so we have a clean system, pre-installed applications - the bare minimum.

Peculiarities

The smartphone is protected from moisture according to the IPX7 standard. The housing can withstand rain and splashes, and even short-term immersion (up to 30 minutes) in fresh water to a shallow depth (up to 1 meter). But it’s better not to intentionally bathe your smartphone.

An interesting feature for those who want to stand out. In addition to the additional panels included, you can create your own cover design by choosing the desired color, cover texture, and even adding your own inscriptions. This feature is available on the manufacturer's website.

Pros and cons of Motorola Moto G 3rd gen

Pros:

  • High-quality case: moisture protection, practical rubberized cover, scratch-resistant glass;
  • You can update to the latest OS version;
  • Not bad cameras.

Minuses

  • Price;
  • Only 1 SIM card is supported.

Who is a smartphone suitable for?

First of all, Motorola Moto G 3rd gen can be recommended to connoisseurs of practical devices. The smartphone fits well in the hand, does not slip out, is scratch-resistant, and can be used during water procedures without any problems. It is suitable for surfing the net, navigation, and taking amateur photographs. Gamers and fans of thin cases will not appreciate the device.

Our review of the Motorola Moto G 3rd gen smartphone

It’s sad, very sad that the price tag spoils the entire experience of the smartphone. The Motorola we knew before is no longer there, and the prices are still the same as A-brands. But, in the end, as can be seen from the review, this is a quality product in every sense, so the Motorola Moto G 3rd gen will find its potential buyer.

Despite the fact that Motorola products are not sold in the CIS countries and therefore are not particularly popular, smartphones from this brand are loved in the world because they are the most affordable and at the same time very high quality. It’s not for nothing that Motorola made the Nexus 6 in its own image Yu your Moto G 2nd generation. And now the 3rd generation Moto G has seen the light, and you know - this is perhaps the best device for 200 dollars that you can find.

New Motorola Moto G 3: flagship specs for just $200

Design

The design of the new Moto G is recognizable: classic for Motorola smartphones, but with its own twist. Using the Moto Maker service, the user can choose the color combinations of the main rear panel and the small panel around the camera. Thus, You no longer limited s standard white and black, although these are also available.


Using the Moto Maker service, you can combine the colors of the back of your phone yourself

Even though the cover is removed, the assembly and about very high quality. You can be sure that this smartphone will not bother you with nasty squeaks or a loose lid. However, this is not surprising: it is certified to the IPX7 standard, which allows you to immerse your smartphone in water up to a meter deep for half an hour. Considering that waterproof smart phones are mainly made only by Sony, the 3rd generation Moto G is carefully being introduced into the niche of unsinkable devices , competing mainly with the fresh Sony M4 Aqua.

Screen

For such a large display I A 5-inch diagonal resolution of 1280 x 720 is sufficient. Few people in real life need ultra-high resolution on a smartphone, and it eats up a lot of battery. The pixel density of 294 ppi, as in the 3rd generation Moto G, is sufficient for comfortable work with the screen.

In addition, the low resolution has a good effect on the battery life of the smartphone on a single charge.: While it needs to process much less information, it also consumes much less energy. The same logic was used, for example, in the new Asus Zenfone 2 Max and Lenovo P70.


For a 5-inch display, a resolution of 1280 x 720 is quite sufficient. I'm pleased with the presence of 3rd generation Corning Gorilla Glass.

Upon closer examination, the IPS matrix shows its best side: The screen boasts both high brightness and contrast, and excellent viewing angles.

What's nice about an inexpensive device is the presence of Corning protective glass Gorilla Glass 3rd generation.

Camera

In the new Moto G, the camera has been raised to the level of modern flagships. Yes, it is unlikely to be able to compete with the Samsung Galaxy S6 or LG G4, but it can easily compete with the Asus Zenfone 2 or Meizu M2 Note. The previous version of Moto G with 8 megapixels was more likely to belong to the average, but here it is already 13 megapixels. And they didn’t skimp on optics: The camera has lenses with high aperture f/2.0 and a wide viewing angle of 76 degrees. We also pumped up the flash: it now consists of two LEDs.


In the new Moto G, the camera has been raised to the level of modern flagships - 13 megapixels

The camera interface remains the same - a minimum of buttons and a photo with one touch. True, they added the ability to record video in Slow motion mode in 720 p quality. Regular video is recorded at 1080p.

The front camera here is 5 megapixels, with a viewing angle of 72 degrees, which, On the one side , allows you to fit more than one face into the frame, and on the other hand, does not distort the proportions of the face too much.

BY

In terms of software, Motorola prefers to stick with the classic Android 5.1 with some useful upgrades.

Thus, there is a smart system for working with notifications Notifications at a Glance. When you take your smartphone from the table or take it out of your pocket (this is determined by the smartphone’s sensors), a clock and icons about missed events appear on the screen. You can view the full notice, by pressing the desired icon.

There is another way to work with a locked smartphone: if you quickly turn your hand, The camera will start, and if you shake the smartphone, the flashlight will turn on.

Performance

The smartphone is equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 chip, which is currently the most harmonious of all. It ideally combines good performance, multitasking (thanks to the 64-bit architecture), energy efficiency and fairly low cost. It does not produce the highest scores in synthetic tests, but it does not suffer from the overheating problem faced by owners of the HTC ONE M9 or One Plus 2, which are built on a powerful and hot Snapdragon 810.

Four cores with a clock speed of 1.4 GHz provide you with stable performance and run 3D games at medium, and some games at maximum graphics settings. There is also a special thanks to the Adreno 306 video accelerator: He, like any member of the Adreno family, copes with mobile games better than any analogues.


The amount of internal and RAM memory depends on the modification: 8 GB of storage and 1 GB of RAM or 16 and 2 GB, respectively

The amount of built-in and RAM memory depends on the modification: there is an option with 8 GB of storage and 1 GB of RAM, and there is one with 16 and 2 GB, respectively. If possible, I recommend immediately taking a more advanced modification, the power of which will easily be enough for the next two years.

The battery life of the new Moto G is simply amazing. Despite the fact that it has a 2400 mAh battery, which is 400 mAh more than the previous generation Moto G, he lives much longer. Instead of a traditional day of active work, the user can safely count on two days.

4 kB + 4 kB (kilobytes)
Level 1 cache (L1)

Cache memory is used by the processor to reduce access time to more frequently used data and instructions. L1 (level 1) cache is small in size and is much faster than both system memory and other cache levels. If the processor does not find the requested data in L1, it continues to look for it in the L2 cache. On some processors, this search is performed simultaneously in L1 and L2.

16 kB + 16 kB (kilobytes)
Level 2 cache (L2)

L2 (level 2) cache is slower than L1 cache, but in return it has a higher capacity, allowing it to cache more data. It, like L1, is much faster than system memory (RAM). If the processor does not find the requested data in L2, it continues to look for it in the L3 cache (if available) or in RAM memory.
