HELLO GOOGLE MOTO 2013


SYNAPSE CIRCUIT:
HELLO GOOGLE MOTO 2013
#Nexus5 #MotoG

Good evening, Synapse Circuit Readers! Oooh, it is a very crisp and cold night in North London! I’m sipping a delightful spiced coffee to keep some fire in my belly! Lol! Hey, I was thinking...

...IT’S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE WE HAVE MOBILE PHONE KIOSKS AND IT’S VERY LIKELY THAT GOOGLE WILL DELIVER VENDING MACHINES ON STREET CORNERS!

There’s definitely a sharp contrast between the way Apple and Google do things. No! I am not going to bash Apple because I can sympathise with them; yesterday they were cutting edge and today not so much... The way Google and Google Motorola are going it is as if to say that the “smartphone” is old news... Ok, barring the Moto X, Google have wisely decided to bypass the ceremony of pomp whenever they release a new handset. The Nexus 5 was released without fanfare and yet Carphone Warehouse, in my neighbourhood, sold out within hours! Gosh! Then last week Saturday the Google Motorola Moto G snuck into the mainstream of the heady world of budget handsets! Yes, I was being facetious. You should know how I feel about budget Android handsets but I think the Moto G changes everything! Correction: The Moto G changes things further! Much further! The major manufacturers have been saturating the market with (what I think of as substandard) handsets where the budget market is concerned and all in a bid for world dominance. I have fallen for the trick of “budget” Android handsets several times – I know, you’d have thought that once would have been enough – to great disappointment. So, the Moto G comes as a landmark.

The price is pretty much spot on, £119.95 for the 8GB version and £149.95 for 16GB. This is 1.2 GHz quad-core! Ok, it would have been the icing on the cake to have a full HD video camera and a card slot. But as budget phones go at least you know that you’ll be able to make use of the latest space consuming free texting and calling apps! If you’re an avid mobile phone photographer you can always store your photos on any one of the various cloud services including Google Drive!

With the quad-core processor you know that the Moto G will be able to keep up with the most demanding apps!
The Moto G should certainly be on your shopping list this Xmas!

I hope you enjoyed this introduction. Stay tuned for more reviews to come.

Take good care!
