Last year, Motorola promised us a Moto G phone with a Snapdragon 800 series chipset. Today, it has unveiled the Moto G100, a smartphone powered by the Snapdragon 870. The chipset is not the only highlight of the phone, Motorola has also included some software features you won’t find in a lot of phones in this category.

The Moto G100 has a 6.7-inch LCD CinemaVision screen with a 90Hz refresh rate and HDR10. It has two punch holes in the top left corner for its two front-facing cameras. Depending on the market, the phone has 8GB or 12GB of RAM and 128GB or 256GB of storage paired with the Snapdragon 870 processor.

There are four cameras on the back of the phone – a 64MP main camera, a 16MP ultrawide angle camera that pulls double duty as a macro camera. The ultrawide angle camera also has a ring flash so your macro subjects are illuminated. There is a 2MP depth sensor that works with the main camera for portrait images and the last is a TOF camera for laser autofocus. The phone also has audio zoom. In front, you have a 16MP main camera and an 8MP ultrawide angle camera.

The battery capacity is 5000mAh and Motorola boasts more than 40 hours of use. It supports 20W TurboPower fast charging. The Moto G100 has a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, NFC, Wi-Fi 6, an audio jack, and a nano-SIM slot. The phone lacks an official IP rating but has a water-repellent coating.

The Moto G100 runs Android 11 and has a handful of useful software features branded under “Ready For”. One of the features allows you to connect the phone to an external monitor and pair a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse, so you can use it as a desktop computer. The increased screen estate allows you to complete your tasks easily.

You can also connect it to an external screen or TV to enjoy your favorite shows and movies. Another feature is specially designed for gaming on a TV or external screen. Motorola says it provides a console experience for the user. In this mode, you can pair a Bluetooth controller with the phone.

Last but not least, it allows you to use the phone’s main rear camera for video calls when connected to an external display or TV. The camera also tracks movement thanks to intelligent software. There is a special dock with a built-in cooling fan that allows you to charge your phone while keeping it connected to the external display.

Price and Availability

The Moto G100 comes in three colors – Iridescent Sky, Iridescent Ocean, and Slate Grey. Color and configuration vary from market to market. It has also been reported that some regions will include the dock with your purchase while others will include an HDMI cable.

In Mexico, the phone is priced at 12,999 Pesos (~$623) for the 8+128GB version while in Brazil, it comes with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage for R$3,999 (~$709) and includes a free pair of Motorola TWS earbuds. In the UK, it has a price of £449.99 for the 8+128GB version.

Motorola has officially confirmed to launch the Moto G100 on March 25. This smartphone will be the first Moto G series device with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 series SoC. Ahead of its announcement, the handset’s price for Europe has been revealed by a retailer.

The upcoming Moto G100 is a rebranded Motorola Edge S that launched in China in late January. Hence, we know everything about his phone. We even published our review of this smartphone earlier this month.

Now, before the global launch of Moto G100, a retailer from Europe has exposed the price of this handset on its website. A Spanish retailer called ParatuPc has currently listed the 8GB + 128GB variant of the phone in Blue color at €479.77.

The listing does not mention the official name of the device. Instead, it uses its model number XT2125. It was first spotted by Binay Konwar of Dealntech.

For comparison, the same 8GB + 128GB variant of Motorola Edge S costs only ¥2399 (€308) in China. In other words, the Moto G100 will cost around €172 more in Europe. 

Anyway, it is worth noting that smartphones are usually expensive in Europe when compared to the rest of the world. On the other hand, handsets are mostly the cheapest in China. Hence, the vast difference in price is not surprising.

Under the hood, the Moto G100 will sport a Snapdragon 870 chipset just like the Chinese variant. At the back, we see the same camera layout on the Moto G100 and it shows ’64MP’ and ‘Audio Zoom’.
