Snapdragon 615-powered Motorola Moto G Turbo Edition launches in India

Motorola has just launched an updated version of the 3rd-gen Moto G in India. Appropriately called the Motorola Moto G Turbo Edition, the handset is an improved version of the regular Moto G that the company launched earlier this year. 

From the outside, the new Moto G Turbo Edition is the exact same smartphone as the Motorola Moto G (2015). It has the same design, the same build, the same IP67 dust and water resistance rating, and the same 5-inch display with a resolution of 720 by 1280 pixels. It even has the same cameras, a 13MP primary sensor with an f/2.0 lens and an LED flash, as well as a 5MP secondary sensor with a wide-angle f/2.2 lens on the front.

On the inside, however, the specs received a most-welcomed boost. The entry-level Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 chip that powers the 3rd-gen Moto G was updated to the mid-range Snapdragon 615 SoC. The Snapdragon 615, which is the same chip that powers the Moto X Play, comes with four ARM Cortex-A53 CPU cores clocked at 1.5GHz, four additional A53 CPU cores clocked at 1GHz, as well as an Adreno 405 GPU.
