Motorola is not the big phone brand they were in the early to mid-nineties. Their recent ‘g’ range has, however, sparked something within the phone orientated community. Whether they are as good as an iPhone is a matter of personal opinion. They are, however, carving out a very respectable slice of the market as a good alternative.
With the company believed to be launching a new line of the g7 range next year though, in a report via The Verge, it has been speculated that a ‘big battery‘ model is on the cards!
A major factor in the Moto design, at least on more recent releases, is having a battery that can operate for a decent period. Anyone who owns a modern smartphone (and particularly an iPhone) will know that regular use tends to restrict the battery lifespan. Generally speaking, an iPhone (used) will last 1-2 days at the absolute most. The new battery, which is believed to have a 5,000mAh capacity, will be 1,000mAh greater than the current design. A design which was found to last around 3-days of ‘fair’ use.
The design comes via an FCC filing which is you really want to know the dry details, you can read in full here! – In a nutshell, though, it would appear that out of 4 models planned for release, at least one will be specifically marketed with this battery in place. Presumably as a ‘long-lasting smartphone’ alternative.
In fairness, the marketing pitch isn’t a bad one and will undoubtedly appeal to many. There is, of course, the question of how good the phone itself will actually be. I suspect, however, that this will do Motorola more good than harm!
