Once again, we see the emergence of another smartphone. This time, it is Motorolla’s new Moto G, an entry-level Android smartphone that is designed for emerging markets. According to CBC:

“A key selling point of the Moto G is it runs the latest version of Android, 4.3 Jellybean, with a promise of upgrading to 4.4 KitKat by January of next year.

The phone also packs a quad-core processor, where most mid-tier phones are dual-core. The 720p display is also made of Corning’s Gorilla Glass — a standard in durability in the industry.” (CBC News)

Although I will need to do further research to find the specifics of this new smartphone, I do believe that the world is steering towards the use of cheaper smartphones. In Hong Kong, the frequency my family members change their cell phones is roughly every 1 or 2 months, especially because of how frequent companies are developing “newer” smartphones with “improved” (most likely only a few) features.

I am intrigued to see how these phones will compete the big names such as Apple and Samsung, and the upcoming Nexus, by Google. The competition is immense, and it appears change occurs relatively quickly.
