The Moto G Turbo edition..(Better than Moto g 3rd gen though)

The Motorola company got it's foothold back in the mobile market by it's most successful mid range phone The Moto G and it is not going to leave it soon. after the moto g third generation which itself was a great success the company launched it's successor phone which is even better. here in this article we are going to look over the new phone which is priced @14499 INR  in India (duh? the price is in Indian currency). It's the new MOTO G TURBO EDITION.

What's new

The new phone has octa core 64bit qualcomm 1.5 GHz 615 soc unlike the 3rd generation which had 1.4 quad core 410 soc. The new phone has the Adreno 406 GPU and with the same screen and resolution as the 3rd generation. The company claims it can give you 6hrs of usage on charging just 15mins which means it has got a quick charge which it's predecessor did not have so the phone is for those who use their phone heavily and want a longer  battery life. for those who do not use their phone heavily or use them normally do not need this phone as the 3rd generation is efficient for them and is currently available at a lower price.

Looks

The phone is in no way different than the 3rd generation and one cannot tell the difference if they are kept side by side. The speaker are on front the 3.5mm jack at the top while the micro usb charger at the bottom. the phone is sleek at the top, bulges out in between and then sleek at the bottom .

    Display

The moto g turbo display is not the sharpest you will find but is totally not bad . the 5.2inch screen is backed by the 1280X720 display which is smooth and uncluttered. 

Performance

The turbo edition is a phone that can be heavily used without any lag in performance. This where one can say that user experience > the spec sheet .It has a  2GB ram which is very efficient. I tested the turbo edition with a 2GHz octacore mediatek 6592 device which also had 2gb ram in speed test.The turbo edition won very easily and one can say the multitasking works smoothly.

Android 6 update to the turbo edition is promised by the company and you can totally rely on Motorola.

The camera

Camera on the phone is 13MP primary and 5MP secondary which works very well on both daylight and night time conditions. The phone can record full HD videos and also HD slo-mo video whic is very great to whatch.

The upper hand

Moto g turbo edition has got tricks up it's sleeves with the IP67 certification for water resistance upto 1.5 m and 30 mins.These things surely you will not find in any phone near this price range.

Conclusion

The phone is very good and the price is also good for the phone. Surely motorola rules this price range and also gives regular software updates to the phones and has a very good after sale services and you can sure should buy this phone as the user reviews for the phon is also very impressive.

What you want from a phone?

It's not specs what matter but the user experience.. 

The problem with the current generation is they rely more on the spec sheet of a phone rather than its actual performance.. First let me make it clear that it is the user experience what counts and not the spec sheet. Mostly the first timers who go to buy a phone just look at the specs on the companies page or on sites like GSM Arena or phone arena but don't realise that these sites do have a user review section also which can give you actual idea of how a phone is. 

The trends among the youth is to buy a bigger and a powerful phone but they don't realise what they are actually buying are not phones but TVs (they are useful at times though, if you know what I mean ;). People should buy good phones with higher screen resolution and with a good phone camera. 

The user's choice may vary  but for the first timers who do not know what they are looking for, here I am.

One before buying a phone must obviously check out the specs but not totally rely on them. He should see what camera mega pixel count is (but it is not always that mega pixel defines a camera but it's sensor) then after checking it's various specs like RAM and CPU he should go for the user review section. They prove to be very useful as they make you realise what you were thinking as a plus point for the phone may actually turn out to be really bad for it for example you would like to go for a octacore 2 gHz and you find that your phone heats up too much. 

This what you don't want. So what to do. You think more cores more performance and you are right to an extent but try quad cores with decent gHz count, see for Apple as an example..

Camera 

Now second thing you want is a good camera. You know MP is not always that count it is just for high details. If you are getting a better quality for a lower MP count you should go for that.. 

SOFTWARE

Many companies try to sell their phones with the latest software at the time of launch and just forget to update them ones the phones are sold. But a good company is that which maintains it's after sale services and hence provide their product with regular software updates. It is not a problem with Apple users as their phones get regularly updated but for Android users it is a problem as many companies which sell their phone cheap they do not care about the updates but their are still companies like Motorola and Google which keep their devices up to date irrespective of the phones price tag. 

After sale services 

No matter how good phone you buy, it is prone to problems.  So before you buy a phone you should always check on the companies after sale services through the existing customers.. {Learn from other's mistake}.. 

Buy whatever phone you like but after considering the blog UserMobi.. 

THE YU YUTOPIA

The new phone in the market by the YU teventutes is the YU YUTOPIA. YU as you (confusing?! ) know is a micromax subsidiary and like micromax offers good spec sheet but it is user experience that matters. The price put for the phone is 26,999 INR but is it worth it, Lets take a look..

The looks. 

The phone is made off aluminium body of aircraft class but it doesn't make us feel happy having it in our hand. It is about 160g in weight and dimensions are 146.6x72.7x7.2mm the phone cannot be called slim comparing to the phones coming out these days but feels sturdy in hand. The camera is a bit bulging out from the back and is pretty big like in lumia 1920.

It has a finger print sensor on the back like in the nexus 5x and nexus 6p.

The phone has the 3.5mm jack bottom of the phone and the micro usb at the top the speaker grills also at the bottom.

The screen is 5.2 inches with a sharp 570dpi with a QHD resolution. 

THE CAMERA 

The phone got a 21MP camera and is descent in both daylight and night time. It has got a Sony sensor and can record 4k videos which according to users is quite impressive. The Camera also is having a flash which can click good  pics in low light (anything new?). 

Performance 

The phone comes with a cyanogen OS 12.1 and may be updated to newer version given that it packs a Qualcomm 605 chipset which works very well. The phone offers no lag while playing high end games (as said by the users) and the battery lasts a full day use on moderate usage given that it has a 3000mAh battery. 

Conclusion for now. 

I have not used the phone myself and the review is totally based on the user submitted review (not submitted to me ofcourse). The review looks incomplete but yet the phone looks quite good. The one thing I am most concerned about is the after sale service offered by the company which has a very bad record.
