Motorola phones in Russia reappeared on store shelves thanks to the efforts of Lenovo. To date, only four basic models of mobile gadgets of a popular brand are available to domestic consumers.
This year, the Lenovo brand introduced Motorola smartphones at its branded points of sale. In Russia, they are grouped in a separate category and are called “Moto Smartphones”. The assortment is certainly not rich, but models attract and find their consumer. All four gadgets have a number of their own distinctive advantages, which can only be seen in the Motorola line.
When will appear in Russia?
The Lenovo company began selling all four gadgets on March 1 of this year. Starting from this date, you can, without fear of fakes, purchase branded gadgets both from store shelves and on the Internet sites of official brand distributors.
Let's consider each model in more detail.
Moto G
Budget “Motorola” in Russia is represented by the Moto G gadget with a five-inch display and a corresponding reamer of 1280 by 720 pixels. The four-core Snapdragon processor from the 410 series is responsible for speed.
The smartphone looks quite presentable, has a good 13 megapixel camera and a 2470 mAh battery.
Estimated price - about 17 thousand rubles.
Moto X Play
The next Motorola in Russia is represented by the Moto X Play model. The gadget has a 5.5-inch screen and a spread of 1920 by 1080 pixels. The performance is already answered by the eight-core mid-level processor Snapdragon 615 series. Plus, the device received support for two SIM cards and has a very good 21 megapixel camera.
A good 3630 mAh battery is responsible for battery life. As for the appearance, the model is not far from the previous model: the same shape and roundness, only the device itself is longer.
Estimated price - about 30 thousand rubles.
Moto X Style
Motorola’s business in Russia is represented by the Moto X Style model with even more attractive features: a 5.7-inch display with a 2560-by-1440-dot scan, and this is a full-fledged Full-HD scan. The heart of the gadget is the powerful six-core processor Snapdragon 808 series. The device pulls heavy applications well, and pages open in the browser without any delay.
The smartphone received a similar 21 megapixel X Play camera, capable of taking high-resolution photos and videos without glare, artifacts and other noise. Autonomous work is characterized by more modest characteristics, unlike the previous gadget due to the lower battery capacity (3000 mAh). But the device has become noticeably lighter.
Estimated price - about 40 thousand rubles.
Moto X Force
The flagship Motorola in Russia is represented by the Moto X Force model with very attractive features. The gadget has the most powerful eight-core Snapdragon processor of the 810 series from the entire line, and also runs on the modern Android 6.0 platform, while other devices on versions no higher than 5.1.1.
And although the display on the smartphone is not the largest - only 5.4 inches, there is no discomfort during operation. Absolutely all applications work smartly, without the slightest friezes, and the video stream has a rich color scheme in all formats.
The camera on the device is 21 megapixels and perfectly copes with all tasks, both with photos and video. Battery capacity at the proper level (3760 mAh). One of the main distinguishing features of the model is a very high-quality metal case, able to withstand heavy loads along with enviable protective characteristics (dust, dirt, scratches).
Estimated price - about 50 thousand rubles.
Summarizing
Motorola smartphones are very expensive for their basic features. In terms of price and quality, the flagships of Lenovo itself look much more interesting. For example, Vibe P1 can be safely considered an analogue of “Moto X Play”.
The latter has the same display and processor, as well as the ability to work with two SIM cards. And although Vibe got the camera noticeably worse, it more than covered this drawback with a 5000 mAh capacitive battery. And this at a cost of 20,000 rubles, that is, 10,000 cheaper than Motorola. For this difference, you can easily buy some Chinese smartphone, and it’s very good. Therefore, Motorola can be recommended only to ardent fans of the brand, at least for today. Who knows, maybe the price situation will change for the better.
