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

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.

The first stethoscope

René Laennec, a French doctor and inventor was born 235 years ago today, and Google has marked his birthday with a Doodle. Dr Laennec's importance to modern medicine was guaranteed by his invention of the very first stethoscope in 1816. Here are five things you (probably) didn't know about him : 1. Dr Laennec's stethoscope bears little semblance to the modern stethoscope. Unlike those used today, Dr Laennec's stethoscope was not a set of ear pieces connected by a plastic tube to a chest piece. His stethoscopes were simple cylinders made from wood and metal. The doctor using it would simply place it directly over the area in question and listen at the other end. 2. His first stethoscope was a rolled up piece of paper Described in his 1819 treatise on this device, Dr Laennec invented the stethoscope while treating a young woman suffering from symptoms of heart disease. 3. The stethoscope was not his only contribution to medical science I...

Lenovo Vibe K4 Note First Impressions

Lenovo has kicked off 2016 with the new Vibe K4 Note smartphone. Those familiar with Lenovo's Note series might get puzzled with the addition of the Vibe moniker to the name, especially given the success of Lenovo K3 Note last year. Head of Product and Marketing at Lenovo Smartphones in India, Anuj Sharma, clarified that the new K4 Note has been integrated with the Vibe series of smartphones. While we are not sure if this has anything to do with the rumours that Lenovo may discontinue its Vibe range to prevent cannibalisation of Motorola sales, Sharma yet again asserted "Vibe" range is not going anywhere . Lenovo at the Delhi launch event on Tuesday also showed some statistics to show how popular the Lenovo K3 Note really is in the country. The handset was the third most searched phone in 2015, based on Google's release data for India , and the company had sold around 1.2 million units. W...
