Moto M Philippines Price, Specs, Release Date and Features Announced!
Lenovo-owned Moto PH has just made it even harder for Filipino mobile consumers to choose a midrange Android smartphone to bet their money on by releasing yet another powerhouse device in the said price bracket.
Donning an SRP of Php 14,999, the all-new Moto M goes head to head with some of the best-selling handsets in our country this year, including OPPO F1s, Vivo V5, and Asus ZenFone 3.
And I'm sure you're wondering, "Does this fresh offering by Moto have the chops to give those other models a good run for the money?"
Well, my quick answer to that is 'Yes'.
For one, it has stellar aesthetics. Its body is crafted from anodized aluminum, which should make it look and feel elegant and durable. The rounded corners and edges should make it a joy to have in the hand as well.
Inside, it runs Android Marshmallow OS with a 64-Bit Octa Core MediaTek P15 processor, has 4GB of RAM for multitasking, and comes with 32GB of expandable storage; A set of innards that's certainly not bad for a device in this price echelon.
One of the coolest things about this release is that its shell has a nano-coating that protects it against accidental spills and splashes of water. The device doesn't really have any IP certification -- but one can't deny that this is certainly a treat on a smartphone with a fairly affordable price tag.
Personally, though, what I love most about this the Moto is its above average imaging capabilities. The main cam is a 16 MegaPixel PDAF shooter with f/2.0 aperture and 1 µm pixel size, which should give it great low-light performance. The front cam on the other hand is an 8MP snapper with Beauty Mode that's capable of delivering clear and crisp selfies that are instantly ready for sharing on Facebook and Instagram.
Can't wait to give this model a test run! I mean, being a Moto Z (with Mods) owner, I can tell you that this Lenovo-owned company hasn't forgotten how to craft well-designed smartphones that give good value for money.
