Apart from New Moto G, Motorola has also presented the new iteration of Moto X and Android wear based Moto 360 in India. First generation Moto G has been discontinued, but Motorola will still retail Moto X first generation for now.
The Moto X has a larger 5.2 Inch Display with more pixel Full HD resolution. Motorola is sticking to Super AMOLED display panel, with Gorilla Glass 3 protection, in the new Moto X as well.
The chipset is the Qualcomm star MSM8974 AC Snapdragon 801 quad core clocked at 2.5 GHz. There is 2 GB RAM and 16 GB/ 32 GB internal storage variants which you can choose from. Software is latest Android 4.4.4 Kitkat for now and this will be upgraded to Android L later.
Primary camera is 13 MP with dual LED flash f/2.25 aperture and 4K recording. The 2 MP front facing camera can also record 1080p video. There are 4 mics for directional audio recording and noise cancelation.
Battery capacity is 2300 mAh. Motorola has already decided on 25 different back covers. Active control and other Moto X specific features have been passed on to this new variant as well. The new Moto X is 9.97 mm thick and tips the scale at 144 grams.
Moto 360 on the other hand is the much awaited circular Android wonder and now we officially know what it looks like. Moto 360 surprisingly runs on TI OMAP 3 SoC with 512 MB RAM and 4 GB internal storage.
Like all Android Wear devices, this one too requires you to have an Android 4.3+ running smartphone. The 1.5 Inch display has 320 x 320 pixels and is protected by Gorilla Glass 3. There is a leather belt strap, couple of Stainless steel straps and several more models will be available later. Battery capacity is 320 mAh and Motorola claims this will last one day.
Moto X will retail in India starting next month, and official India Price will be unveiled then. US price is $499 which translates to approx. 30K INR. The Moto 360 will also be available in India starting next month via Flipkart.
