Motorola launches new Moto X and Moto G

Anthony and I are huge fans of the Moto line up. They’re bloody great phones that are cheap, but don’t feel cheap. From the press release:

The New Moto G

The new Moto G is ready to weather any storm with you, literally, thanks to IPX7-rated protection and Corning Gorilla Glass, so you’re safe from accidental drops into water2 as well as unsightly scrapes and scratches on your display. With an all-day battery3, it won’t ever bail on you when you need it most and it’s ready to capture new memories with a flick of the wrist with a 13 megapixel camera. Personalize Moto G with Motorola Shells available in a variety of colors.

Moto X Play

With up to 48-hours of battery life and a water-repellant design, Moto X Play will love you back day and night, rain or shine. Stay connected on your commute, at work, at play and whenever you need it most—and still have enough battery to get you into the next day. Take brilliant photos and stunning videos with its 21 megapixel camera, and show them off on the edge-to-edge 5.5-inch HD display. And living up to its name, get all the power you need for gaming, streaming and multi-tasking at the speed of life with a Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ processor.

Moto X Style

Looking for a phone that doesn’t compromise, offers powerful performance, and looks gorgeous all at the same time? Then the bold new Moto X Style is for you. We certainly wouldn’t call it “Style” if it didn’t complement yours. In Australia we’ll be introducing real wood grains so your phone can be as unique as you are. Immerse yourself in entertainment with an expansive 5.7-inch edge-to-edge display that’s enhanced by rich stereo sound, take crystal-clear photos and video with its radically improved 21 megapixel camera, or look your best whether you’re taking selfies or video chatting with the 5-megapixel front-facing camera featuring a wide angle lens and selfie flash. And when your battery needs a boost, the world’s fastest charging smartphone4 will get 10 hours of power in just 15 minutes of charging with TurboPower. With all three of these new smartphones, we’ve used some of the most advanced camera technologies available, so Moto X Style now boasts one of the best cameras in the industry. You can take crystal-clear photos and video with the 21-megapixel camera or look your best in selfies or video chats with the 5-megapixel front-facing camera featuring a wide angle lens and selfie flash.

I dig the philosophy behind the two new Moto X models – this one has a kickarse battery, this one has the kickarse specs, choose what’s more important to you. Look forward to playing with them. No RRP just yet, hopefully the tanking Australian dollar wont hurt too much here.
