The third generation Moto G<\/a> has arrived. The budget phone has been a big hit since its first inception, and the latest version seems to add a lot\u00a0without straying from the same low price point. In fact, it’s not really clear whether we can even calls this a “low-end” phone any more!<\/p>\n

The 2015 version of the Moto G comes with a 5-inch 720p display, a quad-core Snapdragon 410 processor, 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage. There’s also an even cheaper model with 1GB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage; both versions can also take Micro SD cards<\/a>\u00a0to cheaply bolster their available storage.<\/p>\n

The body of the phone has been massively improved compared to last year’s Moto G, with an honest-to-god metal back and full IPX7 water resistance\u00a0– it’ll survive for 30 minutes at a depth of a metre. That’s in the same league as Sony’s famously waterproof flagship Xperia Z series, and it should increase the phone’s longevity substantially (if you’re prone to dunking your phone in sinks or swimming pools).<\/p>\n

One of the most impressive upgrades is to the camera, which with a 13 megapixel sensor and dual tone LED flash is comfortably above Apple’s latest\u00a0iPhones and equals the best cameras of Android flagships in 2014. The front-facing camera is also strong, with a 5-megapixel sensor. It’s a bit crazy to find a setup like this in such a cheap Android device, and it speaks to the rapid progress of the Android market as much as Motorola’s design choices here.<\/p>\n

The Motorola Moto G is also going to be customisable for the first time, if you buy it via Motorola’s site. This will allow you to pay a little more to choose the phone’s colour scheme – back, front, accents and even wallpaper. If you’re not fussed with kitting out a custom phone for some extra dosh, then you can pick it up from us at Mobile Fun via the links below for just \u00a3159.99.<\/p>\n
