Motorola Moto G Turbo review: Good old Moto with a dash of speed

By
Motorola's Moto G was launched in 2013. Since then, it has become one of the most iconic smartphones in the world. It may not be in the league of the iPhone -- though some think it is -- or the Galaxy S, but in its own unique way it has changed the market significantly. It has shown that mainstream phones can also be good, can offer the kind of solid experience that once used to be the domain of high-end phones and has, by and large, offered consumers seamless and "pure" taste of Android. This also makes the Moto G -- and here we are including all Moto G versions released in the last three years -- one of the best selling phones of recent times.













But the Moto G, away from all the glare and love it gets from Android fans, particularly those who love Pure Android, is also one of the most unassuming and unremarkable phone. In 2013, Motorola finalised a particular type of design for the Moto G and since then neither its hardware nor its design has changed much. It's been mostly about the evolution in the world of Moto G.
But now, Motorola is trying to shake it up a bit. The result is the Moto G Turbo Edition. As the name signifies, this is the faster version of the Moto G3 aka third-generation Moto G that was launched earlier in April this year. With the Turbo edition the Moto G now gets a Qualcomm's series 6XX processor -- Snapdragon 615, to be precise -- and 2GB RAM. It also gets a slight bump in the price. So does the extra speed warrant the extra price that Turbo is asking for? We figure out in this review.

EPA and the regulation of greenhouse gasses

By
This week, EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy joined private and public sector leaders for a second annual White House roundtable discussion about the progress made and new steps taken to curb emissions of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), potent greenhouse gases used in refrigeration and air conditioning. Administrator McCarthy announced several new actions the agency will take to help support a smooth transition to climate-friendly alternatives to HFCs. "EPA is working closely with industry leaders to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, transition to climate-friendly refrigerants, and deploy advanced refrigeration technologies,” said EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy. “The powerful combination of EPA’s regulatory actions and innovations emerging from the private sector have put our country on track to significantly cut HFC use and deliver on the goals of the President’s Climate Action Plan.” Among the actions announced today, EPA proposed a rule that would improve t...

iPad Pro Review

By
The iPad Pro is, at first glance, completely crazy. A giant iPad with all the limitations of iOS, coupled with added bulk that makes it harder to tote, and a price tag that starts at Rs. 70,000 , all make it a hard sell. That's only the starting price though, and you're going to end up paying a lot more for this tablet. Realistically, you should get the 128GB model, which costs Rs. 79,900, and also the Apple Smart Keyboard , which will set you back by Rs. 14,900. Artists, designers, and others might also need to buy the Apple Pencil , priced at Rs. 8,600 - which means a final price tag between Rs. 94,800 and Rs. 1,03,400. At that price, you can't really compare it to the iPad Air 2 , the last 10-inch model to be released, with an MRP of Rs. 49,900 for the 128GB variant.
