Introduced on stage by Dennis Woodside, CEO of Motorola, the Moto G looks to solve a problem that Motorola’s Woodside says affects hundreds of millions of people globally. The Moto G is pitched at those looking for something affordable, without having to sacrifice the experience that it offers.

The Moto G comes wth the Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 chipset, clocked at 1.2GHz, promising power and battery life. Motorola says that all day battery life is guaranteed, with 33 per cent more talk time compared to rival handsets on 3G.

The Moto G will ship with Android 4.3 Jelly Bean with a guarantee of an update to Android 4.4 KitKat by January 2014. “Android is the best mobile operating system in the world bar none,” said Motorola at the launch event, while taking a swipe at companies like HTC and Samsung, saying that Motorola wasn’t interested in duplicating services and adding clutter, and claiming that the result means it will out-perform the Samsung Galaxy S4 in some areas.
