Moto G Pure is a $ 160 phone available pretty much everywhere in the United States

The latest device in Lenovo’s Moto G line is the Moto G Pure, a low-end $ 159.99 phone arriving in the US and Canada.

Specifications include a 6.5-inch 1600 × 720 LCD display; a MediaTek Helio G25 (i.e. eight Cortex A53 processors built on a 12nm process); 3 GB of RAM; 32 GB of storage; and a 4000 mAh battery. There’s a microSD slot – which will most likely be needed, since the phone only has 32GB of storage – and a headphone jack. The camera bump on the back makes its best flagship impression, but in terms of hardware you get a 13 MP camera, 2 MP “depth sensor”, and LED flash. The front camera is 5 MP.

The body is all plastic. The front has a teardrop notch with a big chin at the button, but again the phone is cheap. The Motorola logo on the back is also a fingerprint reader, which is a nice touch. The phone supports 2.4 and 5 GHz 802.11 a / b / g / n / ac and Bluetooth 5, but unfortunately there is no NFC. The USB-C port supports 10W charging and the phone comes with Android 11.

Motorola is very good at distributing these inexpensive phones in the United States and has a long list of partners. For now, there are only the details of the US launch; the phone will be sold at Best Buy, Walmart, B&H Photo, Amazon, Motorola.com and Verizon on October 14. Motorola says the phone will be available for T-Mobile, Metro by T-Mobile, AT&T, Cricket, US Cellular, Consumer Cellular, Boost Mobile, Xfinity Mobile, Spectrum Mobile and Republic Wireless “in the coming months.”
