14 DAY TRIAL // Moto G, the affordable Android-based mobile phone that Motorola is getting ready to launch this week, has made an appearance on Amazon UK, where it is listed with a price tag of £159.99 ($256 / €192) attached to it, SIM-free.
The retailer is listing the yet unannounced mobile phone as up for pre-order and claims that it will become available for purchase as soon as November 14.
Basically, this means that the handset might hit shelves only one day after its official unveiling, which has been allegedly set for November 13.
As AndroidOS notes, Amazon also confirms the previously leaked specifications for Moto G, including the fact that it will be released with swappable colored back-panels.
Previous reports on this device suggested that Motorola would announce it with a 4.5-inch touchscreen display capable of delivering a 1280 x 720 pixel resolution, which is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass.
Furthermore, the mobile phone is expected to arrive with a 1.2GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8226 processor inside, paired with Adreno 305 GPU.
The specifications list of Moto G also includes 1GB of RAM, along with 16GB of internal memory. An 8GB version of the smartphone will also be released, it seems.
Those who choose to purchase the Moto G will be able to shoot photos using a 5-megapixel camera placed on the phone’s back. They will also have the chance to enjoy video calling, courtesy of a 1.3MP front camera.
The upcoming device is also said to pack HSPA+ connectivity inside, along with the usual Wi-Fi and Bluetooth capabilities. It should also feature dual-SIM support, rumor has it.
Motorola is expected to load Android 4.3 Jelly Bean on top of this mobile phone, though there’s also the possibility that it will launch it with Android 4.4 KitKat right from the start.
With the official unveiling of the handset already suggested to take place tomorrow, it won’t be long before more details on it emerge, so stay tuned to learn the news.
