  • From the Moto G5 Plus to The Moto G5S Plus – What Has Changed?

    From the Moto G5 Plus to The Moto G5S Plus – What Has Changed?

    Lenovo-owned Motorola just announced the Moto G5S Plus, successor to its popular mid-ranger the Moto G5 plus. Priced at Rs 15,999, the Moto G5S Plus is at par with the Moto G5 Plus which is priced at Rs 14,999.

    The Moto G5 plus, like its predecessor the Moto G4 Plus has superior camera performance especially considering its price point. Add to that, an all metal design and fast user experience thanks to Motorola’s stock-ish take on Android 7.0 made the Moto G5 Plus a success.

    Moto G5 Plus

    Motorola has decided not tinker with the design of the G5S Plus and it is reminiscent of the G5 Plus with the addition of antenna lines on the top and bottom of the back. The G5S Plus gets the same 1920 x 1080 px display but a bumped up display size of 5.5-inch. The fingerprint sensor sits below the display and can double up as a single-navigation button as well and the screen is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 3. The highlight of the new device is the 13MP dual-camera setup with an f/2.0 aperture. The dual camera captures Bokeh, and selective focus shots, along with other capabilities of background replacement and exposure management.

    The G5 Plus became the phone to beat in its price segment because of superior camera performance when it was launched earlier this year and the G5S Plus will enter the market with high expectations. How does theG5S Plus stack up against the G5 Plus? Let’s find out.

    The Moto G5S Plus will enter the budget smartphone segment which already has big players like Xiaomi and Huawei’s sub-brand, Honor. Motorola’s focus on the camera performance suggests that it has identified a  certain section that rates camera performance highly and on a budget, and the new G5S Plus’ camera performance may just decide its fate in the highly competitive price-segment.

    The spec-bump other than the camera is nothing to ride home about. Although the Moto G5S Plus will feature a dual-camera setup, the aperture is now f/2.2 which may effect low-light image quality. How the Moto G5S Plus performs in the real world is yet to be seen and a camera comparison with the G5 Plus will be an interesting one. Stay tuned on iGyaan for more updates.

    Motorola announced the opening of its retail stores “Moto Hub” at the Great India Place Mall, Noida today.  Six MotoHub stores were established across the country – 3 in Delhi and 3 in Mumbai.

  • Moto G5S Plus Colour Options Leaked

    Moto G5S Plus Colour Options Leaked

    After launching its flagship device of the year – the Moto Z2 Force, Motorola is all geared up for unveiling another upgraded version of the Moto G5 Plus. Both, Moto X4 and the Moto G5S Plus were expected to be announced on July 25, but instead Motorola chose to launch just the Moto Z2 Force.

    The rumors about the yet to be launched Moto G5S Plus don’t seem to end. An image revealing the Moto G5S Plus’ design and colour options have been leaked:

    According to the recent update, the upcoming Moto G5S Plus will be available in three colours – Pink, Grey and Silver. The smartphone is said to sport a dual rear camera setup,  featuring two 13 MP sensors — one RGB and one monochrome.  The dual rear cameras will be loaded with features like DSLR bokeh, background replacement and selective black and white filtering. The front camera is expected to be an 8 MP sensor with an LED flash, an upgrade to the usual 5 MP front shooter in most of Motorola’s devices.

    Recollecting all the rumors, the Moto G5S Plus is reported to have an aluminium shell and will be powered by the Snapdragon 625 processor. The G5S Plus is likely to feature a 5.5 inch full HD display with 4GB of RAM and 64 GB of onboard storage. The smartphone is set to run Android 7.1.1 Nougat out of the box and is expected to feature a fingerprint scanner, selfie camera with LED flash and Dolby Atmos Audio support.

    The Moto G5S Plus is expected to carry a price tag of 330 Euros, approximately Rs. 25,000, however, may launch in India at a much lower price. Motorola is keeping mum regarding the release date of the Moto G5s Plus. Hopefully, it won’t be long before we go hands on.

  • Moto X4 Price Leaked Ahead Of Imminent Launch

    Moto X4 Price Leaked Ahead Of Imminent Launch

    Lenovo-owned Motorola’s much-anticipated fourth generation Moto X device will reportedly cost around EUR 350 (approx INR 26,500). Moto X4 was expected to launch with Moto Z2 Force but that was not the case, unfortunately .

    Interestingly, the reported price is in the same region as the previous devices in the X line-up. The price leaked is for the 32 GB storage variant suggesting the Moto X4 may only launch with one storage capacity. The Moto X Style which was launched back in 2015 at a similar price of INR 27,000.

    Moto X devices have been well received in the past and the Moto X4 was widely expected to be launched along with the Moto Z2 Force. There have been leaks aplenty about the Moto X4 just like the rest of the smartphones on the face of this planet. Rumours suggest a 5-inch full HD display. The Moto X4 will also run Android 7.1.1 out of the box and house a respectable 3,800 mAh battery.

    In addition, it is rumoured to be powered by a Snapdragon 630 SoC, and launch in 3GB RAM/32Gb storage and 4GB RAM/32Gb storage variants. The camera is rumoured to be a dual-lens setup, with a 12-megapixel primary and an 8-megapixel secondary camera at the back along with a 16 megapixel selfie shooter at the front of the device. Rumoured to have an IP68 rating makes the Moto X4 an interesting entrant to the sub-30k category where it competes with the mighty Honor 8 Pro. QuickCharge 3.0, NFC and hopefully all the important sensors are expected to make it into the smartphone setup on the Moto X4.

    The sub-30k category once dominated by Oneplus and Xiaomi has opened up since Oneplus 5 was released with a 32,999 price tag for its 6Gb RAM/64GB storage variant and Xiaomi’s last true flagship launch was the Mi5 last year. Moto X4 will compete with Honor 8 Pro’s flagship specs but a heavily skinned EMUI with its stock-ish Android experience and mid-range specs. Do you think the Moto X4 will be able to make a mark in the Indian market?

  • Moto Launches Moto Z2 Force With Shattershield Display

    Moto Launches Moto Z2 Force With Shattershield Display

    Lenovo-owned Motorola has launched its flagship for the year, the Moto Z2 Force with a shatterproof display technology. With a lot of high-end specifications, the 2nd-gen Moto Z phone will be the flag-bearer for Moto this year. It goes on sale in the USA on August 10th and is already available for pre-orders.

    Moto Z2 Force has got the hardware to compete with any flagship device this year with 4 GB of RAM, 64 GB of storage and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 chipset. It has Android Nougat out-of-the-box with a promised update to Android. Let’s just say, pretty standard stuff for an expensive 2017 flagship device. The USP of Moto Z2 Force is three-fold. It has a shatterproof display that won’t crumble after a few regular drops thanks to a shatter-resistant coating on the display. Next up are the Moto Mods, which is why the design and the feel of the phone have been retained, except that it’s much thinner now thanks to a 2,730 mAh battery. The previous gen Moto Z had a 3,500 mAh battery, so to ship a new phone with that big a slump in battery size, just to make it thinner seems like a tricky decision. What’s also missing is our beloved 3.5mm headphone jack, so if you’re still living in the good ol’ days of wired headphones then you need to either make a shift to the wireless universe or live the dongle life, a USB C dongle is included in the box. Another significant change is the camera setup. It now has a dual-lens camera setup with dual 12MP sensors with an f/2.0 aperture. One camera shoots in monochrome, and the other shoots in colour, similar to what we saw on Huawei devices and recent Nubia M2. The Z2 Force also has laser AF, phase detection but no mention of optical image stabilisation. Similar to Apple’s portrait mode, the dual-lends setup has allowed Moto to implement a depth-of-field effect on the Moto Z2 Force.

    The Moto Z2 Force doesn’t have the edge-to-edge display from the Galaxy S8 or a huge / relatively large battery one would expect, but with a price tag of $720 (roughly INR47,000), it competes with the big boys of the current flagship market aka the Samsung Galaxy s8 and its bigger sibling the S8+, Apple’s iPhone 7 and 7 plus. The release date in India has not been specified and it is likely that the phone may not launch in India at all as the company stayed away from the Force variant last year.

     

  • Moto G5S Plus Specs And Image Leaked

    Moto G5S Plus Specs And Image Leaked

    Motorola has been keeping up appearances in the smartphone world. With the recent launches of Moto Z2 Play, Moto E4 and Moto E4 Plus , Motorola has another event lined up.  The rumored launch event on 25 July 2017 is reported to unveil the next lineup of Motorola smart phones.

According to reports, the camera setup features two 13 MP sensors — one color and one monochromatic.  Whereas the earlier model Moto G5 Plus had a single 12 MP rear camera.  Reports suggest,the dual camera arrangement will offer the advantage of some new features like bokeh ( depth feature), background replacement and selective black-and-white filtering. Recent leaks show that the Moto G5S Plus will have an aluminum chassis, giving it a more premium look.

     

    In comparison to its earlier variant the Moto G5 Plus, which has a 5.2 inch screen, the new Moto G5S Plus is likely to feature a slightly bigger 5.5 inch full HD display. The leaks also showcase an 8 MP front camera, an upgrade to the standard version’s 5 MP front shooter. As per the rumored details, the smartphone will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor. The Moto G5S Plus is expected to launch with 4GB RAM and 64 GB of storage. The phone is set to run Android 7.1.1 Nougat out of the box.

    The recent rumors suggest that the Moto G5S Plus will see the light of the day on July 25 in New York.  The event is also expected to launch Moto Z2 Force and the Moto X4 alongside the Moto G5S Plus. The much anticipated Moto G5S Plus is expected to be available in India in early August. It is expected to be priced slightly higher than it’s predecessor by approximately INR 2000.

  • Motorola Will Launch The Moto Z2 Force on 25 July

    Motorola Will Launch The Moto Z2 Force on 25 July

    According to reports, Motorola is sending out press invites for a scheduled event on 25 July. This event is rumored to be for the launch of Moto Z2 Force in US. The invite also included a poster with broken glass and the words “shatter your expectations” written across it, hinting at the shatter proof screen in the yet to be launched Moto Z2 Force.

    The Moto Z2 Force is rumored to feature a  5.5-inch QHD Shatter Shield display with a resolution of 1440 x 2560, quite similar to the original Moto Z force.It has also been rumored that the Z2 Force will be equipped with the Snapdragon 835 processor, 4 GB RAM and uptown 128 GB of storage.

    The Moto Z2 Force is expected to have 12MP dual lens rear camera and 5MP front-facing camera with dual-tone LED flash. A leak suggested that the new Z2 Force will be similar in build to the Moto Z2 Play with the exception to the dual lens camera in the latest Z2 Force. According to various leaks, it has also been anticipated that Motorola might decide to bring back the 3.5mm headphone jack missing in the earlier Moto Z.

    According to previous leaks Moto will not launch a non-shattersheild variant of the Moto Z2 Force, so, there will be only one model of the phone available for sale.

    OnePlus Just Blatantly Copied Moto’s Advertisement

    Yesterday OnePlus posted a media on their social media platforms showing the OnePlus 5 in a grey colour with the 50 Shades of Grey tag “Mr. Grey will See you now” with one small change, with the word “grey” spelt “Gray” which is a more American way of writing the word.

     

    This image seems to be an exact copy of an image Moto tweeted for the “grey” Moto M. While the meme for “Mr. Grey will see you now” is a popular and open concept. It seems that not only did OnePlus get inspired by the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 plus as far is design is concerned, the company is also seeking inspiration in creative campaigns for social media.

     

    The OnePlus 5 was launched on 22nd June in India, and was highly criticised for its design which looks similar to the iPhone 7. The OnePlus 5 runs a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 chipset and features 6-8 GB of RAM. The OnePlus 5 also has a dual camera setup on the back which has been laid out much like the iPhone 7 plus.
