New Moto G smartphones

Motorola announced two new smartphones as part of its celebration of 100 million global Moto G sales.

The first – the Moto G Stylus – could be seen as a rival for Samsung’s recently-unveiled Galaxy Note 10 Lite.

It is intended for productivity-focused users and comes with a stylus that is stored in its chassis.

It features a triple-camera system with a 48MP main sensor that employs Quad Pixel technology. A 16MP ultra-wide camera provides a four-times larger field of view, while the 2MP depth sensor provides five-times zoom.

The device is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 octa-core processor with 4GB RAM and offers 128GB of internal storage which can be expanded by up to 512GB with a microSD card.

Moto G Power
The other new entry – the Moto G Power – is made for power-intensive users and packs a 5,000mAh battery which the company claims can last up to three days on a single charge.

It claimed the battery will easily last for 150 hours of music streaming or up to 27 hours of video streaming.

Like the Moto G Stylus, it comes with a Snapdragon 665 processor combined with 4GB of RAM, but scales the internal storage down to 64GB.

The Moto G Stylus and Moto G Power will be available in the US and Canada at $299.99 (R4,500) and at $249.99 (R3,700), respectively.
