Today Motorola announced what The Verge inaccurately described as a “souped-up Moto X”. I’m not sure why they would say this. Maybe because it has a similar display?
Anyway, the Droid Turbo seems to be a powerhouse. It uses a 2.7 GHz Snapdragon 805 processor, the same that is used in the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and the Nexus 6. It will use a 21 MP rear camera, 2 MP front camera, a 5.2″ AMOLED display, and it will record video. According to GSM Arena, it will run Android 4.4.2, but I’m sure that is a misprint and it will run Android 4.4.4.
Since the Nokia Lumia 1320 has recently gotten the Lumia Cyan update, Nokia was kind enough to send me a review unit. I’m doing with it what I do with all review units: camera reviews! Since the Nokia Lumia 1320 is a mid-range phone, it makes sense to compare it to mid-range phones. The scope of this review will be to compare the Nokia Lumia 1320 to the Moto G.
I’m a big fan of the Nokia Lumia 1320. It is one of very few budget phablets that exist. While some might say that Nokia makes too many different phones, they can be commended for making all sizes available to all price points.
On September 4, 2014, Motorola announced four new products: the Moto X, Moto G, Moto 360, and Moto Hint. If you follow technology at all, you have heard of the Moto X, Moto G, and the Moto 360, but you might not have heard of the Moto Hint.
The Moto Hint is a Bluetooth headset. It doesn’t do a single thing that any other Bluetooth headset does. There is one difference: it is smaller than your fingertip.
I have been spending a lot of time with the Moto G over the last couple weeks. I compared the camera to the Nokia Lumia 635, iPhone 6, and the Moto X and also wrote a full review.
In writing all of these comparisons and reviews, one thing was for sure. If I don’t compare the camera of the Moto G to the OnePlus One, I would get crucified for snubbing the holy grail. After all, there is no one more passionate about their phones as OnePlus One owners.
I’ve been spending a lot of time with these phones and when the Nokia Lumia 530 was released last Sunday in the United States, I got one to review it and the camera was a huge disappointment. It doesn’t focus. I got the Nokia Lumia 635 to compare it to and I am super psyched about it.
We spend a lot of time talking about our iPhones, Moto Xs, OnePlus Ones, HTC One M8s, Nokia Lumia 930s, and our LG G3s with their 2.5 GHz Snapdragon 801 processors and 2 or 3 GB RAM. These phones have up to 20 MP rear cameras and up to 5 MP front cameras. Some of them take 4K video. Some of them support RAW photos. The LG G3 has a laser focused camera. The Moto X is always listening.
If you grew up in the 90s like I did, you will have a hard time reciting the specs of the OnePlus One without following it up with “arg arg arg more power” like Tim Allen used to do in Home Improvement.
We spend so much time with these super-powered phones that when a mid-range phone like the Moto G or the Nokia Lumia 635 comes our way, we just sort of say that they are great phones, but we pass them up because they certainly wouldn’t be able to meet our needs.
On September 4, 2014, Motorola announced four new products: the Moto X, Moto G, Moto 360, and Moto Hint. The Moto X is the refresh of their flagship, the Moto 360 is an Android Wear watch, and the Moto Hint is a Bluetooth headset that is designed to sit in the user’s ear all day.
The Moto G is a refresh of Motorola’s mid-range phone. In short, it’s a Moto X without all of the bells and whistles that come with a Moto X. This phone is a really good phone and at $179, it’s a steal.
In the case of hardware, the Moto G and the iPhone 6 are actually very similar phones. The Moto G uses a 1.2 GHz quad core processor while the iPhone 6 uses a 1.4 GHz dual core processor. They both use 8 MP cameras. The iPhone 6 comes in 4.7″ and 5.5″ while the Moto G comes in right in between the two iPhones at 5″.
There are some major differences between the Moto G and the iPhone 6. For one, the Moto G costs $179 and the iPhone 6 costs $649. Here, we will take a look at which has the better camera.
On September 4, 2014, Motorola announced a new family of products: the Moto X, Moto G, Moto 360, and Moto Hint. The Moto 360 is an Android Wear watch and the Moto Hint is a Bluetooth earpiece that is smaller than my fingertip. While the Moto 360 and the Moto Hint are accessories, the Moto X and the Moto G are phones. There is no reason to use both of them.
The Moto G comes in at $179 and the Moto X comes in at $499, assuming that it’s not customized with a wood or leather back, in which case they tack on another $25. So therein lies the question. Is the Moto X worth the extra $320? The Moto X will be the best Android phone to be released this year, but is it $320 better? Let’s find out.
The Moto Hint is the forgotten Motorola announcement. Everyone has heard of the Moto X, Moto G, and Moto 360, but the Moto Hint?
The Moto Hint is a Bluetooth headset that is designed to sit in your ear all day. It is very small, smaller than my fingertip.
But what else could we possibly say about a Bluetooth headset, right? We have been using Bluetooth for 100 million years, right? Quite a bit, actually.
