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.

iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus Review

For most of the reviews here at Gadgets 360, we use the mobile in question as our primary phone for about a week or so before sharing our verdict with you. We realise this isn't perfect, since there are some aspects of the device that don't become obvious during that time, and in an ideal world, we'd use every phone for a couple of months before we publish our review. But we work under constraints where most devices aren't available to us for that long - almost all products that we review are loaned to us by companies for short durations - and there's also the competitive pressure of wanting to get your review out before others do, as long as it doesn't involve cutting any corners. With the launch of iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus in India, Apple offered to loan the two new iPhones to Gadgets 360 - and indeed other publications - for more than the typical timeframe of a few days. The India iPhone launch of course came a few we...

Emperor Ashoka The Great

Lion Capital with Ashoka Chakra Emperor Ashoka is considered one of the most influential figures in India's history. He was the grandson of Chandragupta Maurya , the founder of the great Mauryan empire. He is believed to have lived between 304–232 BC. Popularly known as Ashoka The Great, he ruled over most of present-day India during the years 269 - 232 BC.
