You can’t put the genie back in the bottle
and it’s equally hard to un-publish a video as the Motorola US YouTube channel
found out – the video is a short promo for the Moto G Fast, an “ultra-fast,
ultra-responsive” phone if the tagline is to be believed.
The truth is that the phone is on the
lower end of things, even by Moto G8 standards. The Fast has an unnamed
Snapdragon chipset (with octa-core CPU) and 3GB of RAM. For comparison, the G8
has an S665 chip and 4GB of RAM.
The phone will have an ultrawide-angle
camera (118°) as well as a macro cam, joining the main camera (specs unknown).
The selfie camera will be in a punch hole as is the norm for this generation of
the G-series. The Moto G Fast will have two-day battery life, claims the video
without offering more details. We’re not sure but that Motorola logo looks very
much like a fingerprint reader.
Note that the “G without a number” naming
scheme is typical for US-bound models. We knew the G Fast was going to the
States by virtue of the channel that posted the video, still we just saw the
Moto G Pro launch in Germany – a rebranded G Stylus. We might see this in
Europe is what we’re getting at. Since the promo video is ready, the official
announcement can’t be far behind.
