Here’s everything you need to know about the device.

Nearly four months after the Moto G100 was announced in Brazil, Mexico, and the UK, Motorola has brought the flagship killer to the United States. The Moto G100 is the international version of the phone sold as the Motorola Edge S in China, the first phone powered by the Snapdragon 870 chipset.

The Moto G100 is priced at $599 in the U.S. and it has 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. However, you can buy it for a limited time for $499 on Motorola’s website. For that price, you get a phone with a 6.7-inch 90Hz FHD LCD screen and a double punch hole for two front-facing cameras.

There is a Snapdragon 870 processor under the hood and it draws juice from a 5000mAh battery. The Moto G100 has four cameras on the back – a 64MP main camera, a 16MP ultrawide angle camera, a 2MP depth sensor, and a TOF 3D camera. The front-facing cameras are a 16MP main camera and an 8MP ultrawide angle camera.

The Moto G100 has a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, NFC, Wi-Fi 6, a USB-C port, a MicroSD card slot, and an audio jack. Motorola ships it with My UX based on Android 11.

It supports 20W fast charging and comes with a TurboPower 20W adapter. There is also a protective case and an HDMI ReadyFor cable that allows you to connect it to an external monitor for a desktop-like experience. It will also allow you connect your device to a TV and use the phone as a webcam with motion tracking for video calls. Want to play a game on a bigger screen, ReadyFor will provide a console-like experience once connected to a display of your choice.

A tipster has revealed interesting news regarding upcoming smartphone launches from Motorola in India. The company is reportedly planning on launching two new Moto G series of smartphones in the region.

As per a recent tweet by a known tipster Mukul Sharma (@stufflistings), the known smartphone brand will soon launch two new smartphones, which will be a part of the G series. For those unaware, the G series is the company’s mid range segment handsets that have historically been popular in the Indian subcontinent. Notably, the tweet also specifically emphasizes that the company will launch these devices with the “best specifications till date in the mid segment smartphones in India.”

[Exclusive] I can now confirm that Motorola is soon going to launch 2 new Moto G series phones loaded with some of the best specifications seen till date in the mid-segment smartphones in India. Will be sharing more details soon.
Feel free to retweet.#NextMotoG

— Mukul Sharma (@stufflistings) April 9, 2021

Unfortunately, it is currently unknown what these ‘best’ features include. Furthermore, Motorola has lost a lot of ground in India to Chinese tech giants like Xiaomi, especially in the mid range segment. So, it would make sense that the company would seek to bring in new and prospective buyers through attractive specifications. Although, this is just an unconfirmed report so take it with a pinch of salt for now.

Apart from the fact that the two new devices are a part of the G series, the tipster refrained from mentioning the exact models that will be launching in India soon. Additionally, we have no way of knowing for sure at the moment, but it could be a part of the new lineup of G series devices that the company has launched in Europe. This includes the Moto G60 (which could launch as a rebranded G40 Fusion) and Moto G100. However, this would also imply a price tag higher than any other G series device that has launched in India so far.

The post Motorola to launch 2 new G series phones with best mid range segment specs in India: Tipster appeared first on Gizmochina.

In 2021 there are a lot of flagships with non-excessive prices, not only in China but even in the global market. Among these, we got the first-ever flagship from the Moto G series by Motorola. We are talking about the Moto G100, recently launched in Europe with a great price tag and flagship-class hardware department. Xiaomi came up with a flagship killer as well in the last period: the Xiaomi Mi 11i. This year, Europe got two flagships from the OPPO Find X series: besides the expensive Find X3 Pro, the company decided to also bring an affordable flagship globally: the OPPO Find X3 Neo. Here is a comparison between three of the most interesting affordable flagships out there: Moto G100, Xiaomi Mi 11i, and OPPO Find X3 Neo.

Motorola Moto G100 vs Xiaomi Mi 11i vs OPPO Find X3 Neo

Design

The best design is definitely the one of the OPPO Find X3 Neo. It is the only one with a curved display, it is very thin and lightweight, and it is built with better materials: glass for the back and aluminum for the frame. In case you missed it, the OPPO Find X3 Neo is a rebrand of the OPPO Reno5 Pro+ that is the most powerful handset in the Reno series. The Xiaomi Mi 11i and the Motorola Moto G100 are built with cheaper materials and their designs are less attractive. The Xiaomi Mi 11i provides the IP53 certification making it dust and splash resistant, while the Motorola Moto G100 has a water repellent surface.

Display

On the paper, it looks like the best display is provided by the Xiaomi Mi 11i. It has a higher peak brightness and a higher refresh rate with up to 120 Hz. But we are not sure it is really the best display: we did not compare the AMOLED panel of the OPPO Find X3 Neo directly to the Mi 11i, but we found out it is an amazing panel in terms of color reproduction. The Motorola Moto G100 loses the display comparison due to an IPS panel with worse color reproduction and lower brightness.

Hardware/Software

If you need the best phone in terms of the hardware department, then you should opt for the Xiaomi Mi 11i. It is powered by the most powerful processor by Qualcomm: the Snapdragon 888 paired with 8 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of UFS 3.1 native storage. With the OPPO Find X3 Neo you get more RAM (12 GB), but it has an inferior chipset: the 2020 flagship Snapdragon 865 mobile platform. The Motorola Moto G100 sits in the middle with a Snapdragon 870 which is actually an upgrade of the Snapdragon 865. The phones run Android 11 out of the box with the Moto G100 providing a nearly-stock Android experience, while the other two have customized user interfaces.

Camera

The best camera phone is the OPPO Find X3 Neo and it is close to flagship camera phones. It comes with a 50 MP Sony IMX766 main camera with OIS, a 13 MP telephoto sensor with 2x optical zoom, a 16 MP ultrawide camera, and a 2 MP macro camera. The Xiaomi Mi 11i remains an interesting camera phone with its 108 MP main camera and 8K video recording, while Moto G100 is the most interesting selfie phone thanks to a dual ultrawide front camera with 16 + 8 MP resolutions.

Battery

The Moto G100 has the biggest battery and, despite its IPS display, it should provide a longer battery life in a lot of scenarios. On the other hand, the OPPO Find X3 Neo wins the fast charging comparison with a 65W power.

Motorola Moto G100 vs Xiaomi Mi 11i vs OPPO Find X3 Neo: Price

Xiaomi Mi 11i has a €649/$773 starting price, Moto G100 costs €599/$714 in its base variant, and OPPO Find X3 Neo costs €799/$952. The winner of the comparison is the OPPO Find X3 Neo due to its better camera, great design, and amazing overall specifications, but the Xiaomi Mi 11i has a better hardware department and Moto G100 a higher value for money.

After months of leaks, the OnePlus 9 series finally launched last week. The OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro bring revamped cameras, powerful chipsets, top-of-the-line displays, and fast wired and wireless charging. They also brought along a sibling called the OnePlus 9R and the OnePlus Watch.

Moto G100 and Moto G50

Motorola’s first Snapdragon 800-series powered Moto G phone launched too. The Moto G100 has a Snapdragon 870 processor inside it, six cameras in total, and some software features, one of which allows you to use the phone as a desktop computer when hooked up to a monitor and paired to a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. It didn’t come alone either. The Moto G50, a budget 5G phone, also tagged along.

Honor’s new products – a phone and tablet for China and a fitness tracker for global markets

The Honor V40 Light Luxury Edition and the Honor Pad 7 tablet were announced in China. The former has a curved 90Hz OLED display, a 5G processor, 64MP quad rear cameras, and 66W fast charging.

The Honor Band 6 also got a global launch last week, three months after it was announced in China.

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 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.

Motorola is expected to announce the Moto G100 flagship phone on March 25 through a global launch event. Ahead of the launch, reputed tipster Evan Blass has shared a new high-resolution render of the Moto G100 along with its specifications.

The blue-colored Moto G100 can be seen flaunting a dual punch-hole screen. Its gradient rear has a squarish quad-camera setup and a Motorola batwing logo. The left side of the phone seems to feature a Google Assistant hardware key, whereas its right spine seems to have a volume rocker and a side-mounted fingerprint scanner.

The top edge of the Moto G100 is barren, whereas the bottom edge has a 3.5mm audio jack, a USB-C port, a microphone, and a speaker grille. The color variant is dubbed as Iridescent Ocean. A previous leak claimed that it will be also available in silver.

The Moo G100 has a 6.7-inch display that offers a Full HD+ resolution. The dual selfie camera system of the phone features a 16-megapixel primary camera and an 8-megapixel secondary lens. Its rear-facing quad-camera system has a 64-megapixel main camera, a 16-megapixel lens, a 2-megapixel camera, and a dedicated ToF sensor.

The Snapdragon 870 chipset fuels the Moto G100, and it has a 5,000mAh battery with 20W fast charging support. Blass claims that it will be sold in April along with an HDMI cradle, which would allow users to take advantage of a desktop PC-like experience by connecting a monitor and input peripherals. A recent leak claimed that its 8 GB RAM + 128 GB storage edition will be priced at €479.77 (~$570) in Europe.

Past reports have revealed that the Moto G100 will be a rebranded version of the Motorola Edge S smartphone, which went official in China in January. The handset was introduced with an enticing price tag of 1,999 Yuan (~$307).

After a not-so-packed third week that gave us a chance to catch our breaths, the wave of smartphone announcements for the coming week is going to be overwhelming. With phones from POCO, OnePlus, Black Shark, Honor, Vivo, realme, and Motorola, there is a lot to look forward to in the coming week.

POCO X3 Pro

POCO kicks off the week with a global launch event on Monday, March 22. It is believed that it will announce the POCO X3 Pro, an affordable 4G flagship killer, that will come with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 860 chipset. The Xiaomi offshoot is also expected to announce a second phone, the POCO F3 which has been reported to be a rebadge of the Redmi K40. This means the POCO F3 will have the Snapdragon 870 5G processor powering it, a super AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, and 48MP triple rear cameras.

Vivo X60 series heads to India but the first stop is Malaysia

The Vivo X60 series will be making its way to India on March 25 but before then, it will make its first stop in Malaysia on Monday, March 22, for its global debut. It has been reported that the camera-centric phones will drop the Exynos 1080 chipset found in the China model for the Snapdragon 870 processor.

Vivo Y72 5G

Vivo will try to grab more of the spotlights on Monday when it unveils its new mid-range 5G phone, the Vivo Y72 5G in Thailand. This phone will have a MediaTek chipset at its heart, a 5000mAh battery, and 64MP triple rear cameras.

OnePlus 9 Series and OnePlus Watch

OnePlus takes over on Tuesday, March 23, for the launch of the OnePlus 9 series. Three phones are expected at the launch which should simultaneously hold in India, Europe, and the United States. There is the top-of-the-line OnePlus 9 Pro which will come along with a standard variant called the OnePlus 9 while an India-exclusive OnePlus 9R will also be announced. The much-awaited OnePlus Watch will also be unveiled at the event. China will get its own launch event on the following day.

Black Shark 4 series

On the same Tuesday, Black Shark will be unveiling its new gaming smartphones – the Black Shark 4 and Black Shark 4 Pro. These two phones will come with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 870 and Snapdragon 888 processor respectively, 144Hz AMOLED screens, 4500mAh batteries, and support for 120W fast wired charging. The phones will also have motorized shoulder buttons that retract into the frame when not needed.

Huami’s Amazfit T-Rex goes pro

If you don’t want to grab the OnePlus Watch, then you may be interested in Huami’s Amazfit T-Rex Pro smartwatch which is launching on March 23 too. This is a rugged smartwatch and it will be arriving with new features such as a new BioTracker PPG sensor and a revamped operating system.

Another Honor V40 phone, this time it’s “light and luxurious ”

The Honor V40 5G launched earlier this year as the manufacturer’s first phone following its split from Huawei. Now, it is getting a sibling that will be sold as the Honor V40 Light Luxury Edition and it is also coming on March 23.

The phone looks premium with its curved display and eye-catching rear design. It has been reported it will have support for 66W fast charging, so you can refill its 3800mAh battery in under an hour.

realme C25 and realme 8 series

realme has two events next week. The first will hold in Indonesia on March 23 and it plans to unveil the realme C25 smartphone, a budget MediaTek-powered phone with a 6000mAh battery capacity.

The following day, March 24, realme India will take the wraps off the realme 8 series. This will be a bigger event with not only more phones but more fanfare as the phones are realme’s challengers to the Redmi Note 10 series.

Motorola Edge S goes global as the Moto G100

Towards the end of last year, Motorola announced that the first Moto G smartphone with a Snapdragon 800 series processor is coming this year. On Thursday, March 25, the phone will arrive as the Moto G100. The device should be familiar to those who have been following Motorola’s announcements this year as it is a rebadge of the China-exclusive Motorola Edge S, the first flagship killer of 2021. We are excited nonetheless.

iQOO Z3

The iQOO Z3 5G is scheduled to launch in China on March 25. Reports say the phone will come with a Snapdragon processor, an FHD+ display with a 144Hz refresh rate, and support for 55W fast charging.

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.

A few days ago, Motorola teased the arrival of the G100 smartphone showing the device’s design in Blue color. The company is finally said to bring it to the global markets on March 25.

The Motorola Moto G100 is said to launch Globally on March 25(via @NilsAhrDE). Official press renders were leaked yesterday(with watermarks) by Techniknews. Today, LetsGoDigital has come out(source: mobielkopen.net) with the product images without watermark and it looks like the company is bringing both White and Blue colors globally but with few tweaks in shades.

The device is codenamed ‘Nio’ and has a model number ‘XT2125’ for the Global markets. It’s mostly the same as the Motorola Edge S from China. However, it has a minor addition i.e, a dedicated Google Assistant Key on the left.

The Moto G100 will likely feature a 6.7-inch FHD+ IPS LCD display with a 90Hz refresh rate. This display will have a dual punch-hole on it to house the 16MP + 8MP front cameras and a 20:9 aspect ratio.

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’. Accordingly, the device is said to feature the same 64MP wide-angle + 16MP ultra-wide + 2MP depth + ToF sensor.

Other expected features include a 3.5mm audio jack, 5G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.1, 5,000mAh battery with 20W Turbo Power charging, side-mounted fingerprint sensor, up to 12GB RAM, 256 GB storage, and run Android 11 OS out of the box.

The device is expected to retail for €400-500 in Europe. Let’s wait for the next 10 days to know it officially.

The Moto G100 is an upcoming smartphone from Motorola that is expected to launch soon. The phone will be the first Moto G series phone to have a Snapdragon 800 series processor. Ahead of its launch, press renders have surfaced that give us an early look at what is coming.

We already know that the Moto G100 is the international version of the Motorola Edge S. However, rather than distinguish the phones by giving them entirely different colorways, it appears Motorola chose to have the shades be slightly different as shown in the images which were posted by TechnikNews.

The Moto G100 will have a 6.7-inch FHD+ 90Hz LCD screen with two punch holes for the two front-facing cameras. There are four rear cameras and written below the camera array are “64MP” and “Audio Zoom”. The device has a side-mounted fingerprint scanner and volume rocker on the right while the left side is home to the SIM tray and Google Assistant button.

It has been reported that the Moto G100 will come with up to 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. Motorola already confirmed in a teaser video that the phone will be powered by the Snapdragon 870 processor and will have an audio jack. It should run Android 11 out of the box with Motorola’s My UX on top.

In January, Motorola announced the Edge S, a Snapdragon 870-powered phone with a starting price of a little over $300. There have been reports that the phone will get a global release as a model under the Moto G series. Motorola has now released a teaser for a phone with a Snapdragon 870 processor, and we believe it is the anticipated Moto G100.

The short video teaser was posted on Twitter by the official Motorola Global account. The video was also shared by Motorola Germany which means we can assume that the device will be announced in Germany.

Apart from confirming that the device will have a Snapdragon 870 processor, we also get a glimpse of the device which reveals some other details. The video shows that the upcoming phone will have a USB-C port, an audio jack, a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, a flat display, and a glossy finish.

If the Moto G100 is a perfect replica of the Motorola Edge S, it should have a 6.47-inch FHD+ screen with a double punch hole that is home to a 16MP main selfie camera and an 8MP ultrawide angle camera. It should also have a 64MP quad-camera setup that includes a 16MP ultrawide angle camera, a 2MP depth sensor, and a ToF 3D camera.

In China, the Motorola Edge S comes in 6GB and 8GB RAM variants with 128GB or 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage. The phone also has support for storage expansion, a 5000mAh battery, and support for 20W fast wired charging.

Seeing as Motorola has already begun teasing the phone, we expect a launch date will be announced soon.

Motorola is known for its Moto G series of smartphones worldwide. The first model in the lineup, simply called Moto G, was unveiled in late 2013 when the company was under Google. Over seven years later, the series has now reached its tenth generation. Hence, according to a report, the Lenovo-owned company has made changes to the branding of the Moto G series.

Last month, Motorola released some Moto G smartphones for the US. But those phones bear ‘2021’ in their names. However, the upcoming models will have a different type of branding, as per TechnikNews.

For those unaware, Motorola is expected to launch three new Moto G handsets very soon. The codenames of these devices are Capri, Capri Plus, and Nio. 

Out of these three, the last model (Nio) is already on sale in China as Motorola Edge S in China. According to Evan Blass (@evleaks), this very same phone will be debuting as Moto G100 in some markets. Hence, it should be that Moto G smartphone, which Motorola teased in December to arrive with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 series chipset.

Further, NBTC certification has revealed that the Capri Plus will launch as Moto G30 in certain markets. Similarly, as per TechnikNews and Adam Conway, the device codenamed Capri will be marketed as Moto G10 in some regions and Moto G10 Power in India.

Additionally, there will be another handset codenamed Java. It is expected to go official as Moto G20 with 4GB RAM and 64GB internal storage. Lastly, either the one called Ibiza or Denver will launch as Moto G40.

In other words, Motorola’s upcoming Moto G devices will have double-digit branding just like Samsung. In case you have forgotten, the South Korean tech giant has been using this branding only since 2018.
