Thanks to the company`s design team. Still they can improve a lot and so they have launched another device. It is called as the Motorola Moto G 3rd Gen.
This smartphone was launched in various countries and is now available in India. There are going to be two variants of this smartphone.

Let us talk about the features of this smartphone.
Motorola Moto G 3rdgen Features
Display
The phone is having a 5 inch display. They have created a good screen to body ratio. The phone is having a 720p display. The display does not seem to be sharp at all. The phone has corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection. You can enjoy the phone in bright sunlight and has good view angles. When you lock the display you can see the time and notifications on the lock screen. This can be seen without waking up the phone.
Design
The build quality of the phone seems to be premium. The phone`s back panel seems to have good design. This will offer better grip to the user. So talking about the overall grip of the phone, it does seem to be perfect. The phone is having water resistance capability and it is IPX7 certified. Perfect time to launch a water resistant phone in the rainy season. The company Motorola claims that the smartphone is able to withstand underwater below 3 meters for 30 minutes. So this is like a bonus point for the user.
Operating System
The phone uses the Android Lollipop 5.1.1 operating system in this smartphone. This is one of the latest OS and the phone will be having close to stock Android UI. The best part is that the user will get the latest Android updates on this smartphone. It is rumored that this phone will get updates even before the Google`s own nexus devices. So yes this phone will help you to be using the latest OS from Android.
Performance
The phone will be coming in two variants. One with having 1 GB RAM and 8GB internal storage. Another variant of the phone has 2GB RAM and 16GB storage. The phone is having 1.4 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 Quad core processor with Adreno 306 GPU. So a smapdragon processor will help the user to get a good multi-tasking experience. As we mentioned that the phone is available in two variants. We suggest the users to buy the higher end. Why will a person buy a phone with 1GB RAM and 8 GB in-built storage at this price? We don`t know why Motorola has introduced this lower end version. Overall the phone is expected to deliver good performance.
Camera
The mobile has a 13MP rear camera with dual LED flash with the f/2.0 lens. There is also a front camera for clicking selfies and for video calling. Camera of the phone seems to have upgraded from its predecessor. So it is a good move altogether by the company to introduce a better camera in this device. The camera also has HDR mode in it to capture good pictures even in low light conditions. It is expected to deliver good image quality photos from this device. The rear camera can capture full-HD videos with ease and also slow motion videos at 720p. We are still unsure about the quality of the slow motion videos.
Battery
The phone has a battery capacity of 2470mAh. This battery is capable of giving a good battery backup of power usage for a single day. You can use the 4G or 3G connectivity play videos, play high end games and the battery will still keep on giving you the juice for a single day.
Final Verdict
If you are looking to buy a phone which is sturdy, good grip, decent camera, latest OS, cool performance, average battery and water resistant then you should go for this one. actually it seems to be an all rounder phone at this price point. Though the performance of the phone and the RAM should had been upgraded. But if we look at the other features then the phone is a good buy.
