Moto G 2015 Specs, Antutu Benchmark Score, and Photos, Leaked!
The first generation Moto G - released in 2013 - is one of my favorite midrange Android smartphones ever. So seeing these leaked photos of the 2015 follow-up to that affordable model really brings a smile to my face. It looks great, don't you think?
Off hand, I think the handset looks very attractive. I like that its design and ergonomics don't depart too much from that of its predecessors because I've always loved the curves and dimensions of the previous Moto Gs.
Now, as for the specs, it appears that the phone leaves much to be desired -- especially when you think about the hardware of many amazing Android smartphones in its price category that are already out in the market. Nonetheless, I think hardcore Motorola fans who've been following this series won't really mind.
Last week, Moto fan Leonardo Fiaschi uploaded a video on Youtube showing benchmark test results of what he claims to be his friend's prototype Moto G 2015 unit. I think it's legit.
The clip clearly shows that the new Moto G will have the following technical specifications:
4.97-inch 1280 x 720 HD display
13 MegaPixel autofocus main camera with LED flash
5 MegaPixel front cam
64-Bit 1.35 GHz Quad Core Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 SoC
1GB of RAM
8GB of ROM
4G LTE connectivity support
Android 5.1.1 Lollipop operating system
2,300 mAh battery pack
I'm fine with the phone's display, imaging capability, and processor; For me, those are good enough for a 2015 budget Android smartphone. But I wish that it had at least 2 GB of RAM and a bigger battery pack.
2014 Moto G 8GB is still out and has an official suggested retail price of $179 USD; I think the 2015 update will have the same price upon launch. Last year's Moto G became available in the Philippines via Kimstore for Php 9,980. My friend Kim Lato hasn't spoken with me regarding her plans for the 2015 model -- but I think she'll definitely bring it here and make it available to her loyal buyers and supporters as soon as she can.
Motorola retained the sleek back panel curvature of the first and second gen releases on the latest version, making their affinity undeniable.
The metallic accents on the Moto G 2015's shell as well as the front facing speakers located near either ends of the phone are reminiscent of Motorola's Nexus 6 flagship.
The back plate dons a more fancy texture versus just plain matte finish on the 2014 model.

The combination of its innards should give Moto G an Antutu Benchmark Score of in the area of 22,000 to 25,000. Leonardo got a mark of 23,355 when he ran the test on the prototype unit.
