Few months early, Motorola surprised smartphone
users by launching its new Moto G smartphone on their web site. Now this cell
phone can also be bought on Amazon.
From Friday, the e-commerce giant began selling both
the 8GB and 16GB versions of the smartphone. The prices are the same as
Motorola, which has the 8GB at $179 and the 16GB at $199. Amazon says that the
device will start shipping on December 4, while Motorola will begin shipping on
December 2.
The Moto G is being launched around the whole world, which could mean it'll sell better than its costlier predecessor. It has nearly same design to the Moto X and also offers a host of colors, a 720p 4.5-inch display, and Android Jellybean operating system.
The Moto G is less expensive than
Motorola's Moto X. The Moto X, which launched only in the US earlier this
year, stands out to customers because they can tweak how the device looks with
different accents and different colors.
Initially, Motorola said it was planning to launch
the Moto G in the US in January. However, the company surprised users by launching
the device in the US this week.
