Just as it unveiled the new Moto G and G Plus, Motorola today also added a third new member to the forever-expanding Moto G family, the Moto G Play.
Announced
for the US initially, the G Play is similar to the 2016 G and G Plus
though it scales down the key specs slightly. The display is smaller (5
inches vs. 5.5 inches) and it has a lower resolution (720p vs. 1080p);
the Snapdragon processor is quad-core rather than
octa-core; and the
camera resolution tops out at 8 megapixels instead of 13.
Like its siblings, though, it is water-resistant and it runs Android
Marshmallow. Pricing and specific availability are yet to be revealed,
but we'll add it here as soon as we get it. Stand by for hands-on photos
and analysis, as well.
