- Unlike Moto X series, Moto Z series falls under expensive territory that has left a void in the mid-tier segment for the company.
Ever since acquired by Lenovo, Motorola has been doing changes to its product lines. Earlier this year, it ditched Moto “X” series for new Moto ‘Z” series. Unlike Moto X series, Moto Z series falls under expensive territory that has left a void in the mid-tier segment for the company. Fortunately, Moto might have realised the situation and decided to introduce new product line, Moto M series.
Moto M was announced in China earlier this month; it is the first phone to be powered by Helio P15 (successor of Helio P10). Compared to its predecessor, the processor has bumped up clock speeds in CPU as well as in GPU segments. It is also worth noting that Moto M is the first phone from the company with a unibody metal design and fingerprint sensor at the back. For JIO fans, the phone comes with VoLTE support out of the box.
