It has a sharp 5-inch TFT LCD display and the 1280x720p HD screen delivers a pixel density of 294 ppi. It features a Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 chipset with an Adreno 403 GPU that is powered with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of onboard storage. In terms of connectivity, Moto G Turbo is a dual SIM set up with 802.11 b/g/n (2.4 GHz), Bluetooth 4.0 LE and GPS, AGPS, GLONASS. 

Whereas the Moto G (Gen 3) is available with either 1GB of RAM and 8GB of storage or 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage, Moto Turbo has only latter configuration. The SoC is now a Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 with eight cores running at 1.5GHz. Graphics are handled by the integrated Adreno 405 GPU.

As far as the cameras are concerned, the Motorola Moto G Turbo Edition packs a 13-megapixel primary camera on the rear and a 5-megapixel front shooter for selfies same as of Moto G (Gen 3). 

Look

There is not any major difference between the Moto G Turbo Edition from Moto G3 in look. The two measure and weigh exactly the same. Turbo Edition had a black front and a very neat-looking grey-blue rear panel. The rear still has a rubbery finish that offers a solid grip, but now there's a slight swirl to the previously straight ribbed pattern. 

The phone looks like the Moto G 3rd Gen, and almost all its features are the same. As the name suggests, the Moto G Turbo has a better processor. Motorola has bumped up the processor from Snapdragon 410 in Moto G 3rd Gen to Snapdragon 615 with 2GB RAM in its newest installment.

Performance

From Snapdragon 410 to 615, there is definitely improvement in the performance of the Moto G this time. Moto Turbo is faster in loading apps, the camera and so on. 

Camera

Even though the Turbo retains the 13-megapixel (MP) primary and 5MP secondary camera, the output images were sharper than its predecessor. All the other camera features are the same as that in the Moto G 3rd Gen.

Camera of Moto G Turbo seems to be doing better with colour reproduction than the Moto G (3rd Gen). In addition, the images are also sharper and just slightly brighter when it comes to low light shooting.

Battery

The Turbo - like the Moto G 3rd Gen - comes with a non-removable 2,470 mAh battery but Moto Turbo has the fast charging feature. It charged to about 30 per cent in just 17 minutes. 

Moto G (Gen 3) is rated IPX7 for water resistance, Moto Turbo Edition also offers protection from dust as well. Both phones can survive after being submerged in fresh water up to three feet deep for up to 30 minutes.

Note :

• The phone runs on Android 5.1 Lollipop, which will be eventually upgraded to Android 6 Marshmallow.
• Both Moto G Turbo and Moto G3 has 13MP, AF, f/2.0 primary camera with a 76 degree field of view (FOV) also packs in a dual tone, dual-LED flash and a 5MP Fixed Focus unit sits on the front that sports an f/2.2 aperture with a 72 degree FOV.

The earpiece and mic grilles on the front face are quite pronounced. They look like a pair of stereo loudspeakers, but only lower grille actually is one. The power button is placed on the right, and volume rocker is right below. There's a secondary mic next to the 3.5mm audio socket on top, and a Micro-USB port for charging and data transfer.

Display

Motorola Moto G Turbo Edition has an HD (1280 x 720 pixels) screen with a pixel density of 294 ppi. The screen is a 5-inch panel which is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 3.

Moto G Turbo has 5MP Fixed Focus camera with f/2.2 aperture with a 72 degree FOV. 

There are also a few shortcuts: you can flick your wrist twice with the phone in standby to launch directly into the camera app, or shake sideways twice to turn on the torch.

Connectivity

The phone packs 16GB of internal storage that can be expanded up to 32GB via a microSD card. LTE is supported on both SIMs, and you also get Wi-Fi b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0.

They look like a pair of stereo loudspeakers, but only lower grille actually is one. The power button is placed on the right, and has a slight texture to help you find it.



Moto G Turbo Edition has quick charging and it calls TurboPower. You can get up to six hours of use with a 15-minute charge. The charger that comes in the box is unusually large and can deliver up to 12V output, as opposed to the standard 5V.

The panel comes into play in ensuring that Moto G lives up to its IP67 certification. There are rubber inserts on the underside which form seals around the Micro-SIM and microSD slots.

Our Review : 

• Moto G Turbo can run Implosion and Asphalt 8 smoothly at reduced settings.
• Rear camera of Moto G Turbo showed above average image quality on a cloudy. In addition, the noise levels increase quite a bit as the amount of light goes down. We find the similar performance when the camera is used indoors or in low light. The Turbo clicks good enough photos in such scenes.
• Weatherproofing and the stock Android experience remain strong reasons to choose Motorola, and quick charging is exactly the same kind of feature that adds value for Moto G Turb.
• Moto G Turbo scored 35,086 points in Antutu 6.0 and 15,090 overall in Quadrant. 

Note :

• The phone comes with a Turbo charger that can fill its 2470 mAh battery from 0 to 100 per cent in flat one hour.
• You get version 5.1.1 with an update to Android 6.0 Marshmallow widely expected in early 2016.
