Google-owned Motorola Mobility is setting its sights on worldwide adoption of the Moto G, which has a 4.5-inch screen and is priced from US$179 without a contract.
Most people in the world can't afford a smartphone that costs $500 and $600, and in fact the average cost is around $200, according to Dennis Woodside, CEO of Motorola Mobility. While there are many smartphones in this price range, however, they are far from good enough, he said.
Motorola wants to change that with the Moto G. The device is powered by a 1.2GHz quad-core processor from Qualcomm and has a 4.5-inch 720p screen that's "splash proof." Other hardware specifications include a 5-megapixel camera and options for 8GB or 16GB of integrated storage.
With the combination of the screen, good battery life and price tag, Motorola wants to take market share from competitors like Samsung Electronics.
