Moto G 2015 Release Date

Motorola has already announced it plans to host an event in New York City on July 28. While it hasn't been confirmed what the company plans to discuss, it's expected that we will be hearing about the newest Moto X and Moto G smartphones.

Using the catchphrase, "Your relationship status is about to change," Techno Buffalo (via Christian Today) has highlighted the possibility that we will be hearing about the Moto 360 2 (2nd generation), Moto X 2015, and the Moto G 2015.

The site also adds that Motorola has taken a page out of its rivals, namely Apple and Samsung, and is planning to release two variants of the upcoming mid-range device. There is speculation that one model will come with 1GB of RAM and 8GB internal memory while another option offers double the specs with 2GB of RAM matched with 16GB of memory space.

The current model retails for $179.99 and not much has been reported about a possible price increase so it's expected that the price tag will remain pretty much the same.
