Motorola brand returns to Russia
Hello friends! As you remember, at the end of September we shared the great news with you: there should be a Motorola brand in Russia. And today we are in a hurry to announce new details. The factories have confirmed that they will ensure the release of the necessary volumes of products, and this means that the first gadgets with the coveted Moto logo will appear on Russian shelves in February!
One of the first “swallows” will, of course, be the second generation Moto 360 smart watch , which we announced in September at IFA 2015 . The final cost of hours has not yet been approved, including for all known reasons .
Taking this opportunity, we recall what kind of animal it is. If we produced the first generation watches in one single variant, then in the case of the second generation we already have a gender division: a 42 mm dial for “girls” and a 46 mm dial for “boys”. By the way, if you are a guy, and you do not have a big hand, then the 42 mm model is also made especially for you, because there are universal and not at all female colors. Motivation is very simple. A smart watch is not only a gadget, but also an accessory, so it should look on your hand accordingly.
The round screen is both beautiful and rational. In Moto 360, the display occupies more than 70% of the body area, while for many competitors this indicator does not even reach 50%. And this is by no means a measurement from the category of "look how cool we are." The fact is that if the ratio is in favor of the screen, and not in favor of the case, then the watch does not visually appear bulky.
It is easy to guess that in a 42 mm watch it is simply physically impossible to install the same screen as in a 46 mm model. That is why the diagonal of the display of the "large" Moto 360 2 is 1.56 inches, and its resolution is 360 by 330 pixels. The “small” Moto 360 2 has different indicators: 1.37 inches and 360 by 325 pixels.
The experience of our employees shows that in practice there is no difference in all of this - you just need to forget about all these pixels and inches and choose the model that looks best on the hand. But there’s one thing that can be significant for someone: there’s a battery with a capacity of 400 mAh in 46 mm watches and a 300 mAh battery in 42 mm watches. Averaged measurements in the first case involve 1.5 days of battery life, and in the second - a day.
But the rest of the “filling” in both versions is completely identical: the quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor with a clock frequency of 1.2 GHz, as well as 4 GB of constant and 512 MB of RAM. This is more than enough to cheerfully toss and turn the Android Wear operating system and all its many features.
On the news from IFA 2015, you probably remember how we focused on the fact that changing straps on all Moto 360 2s is very easy and simple: there is such a special mount that is easier to show in a photograph than to describe in words. Of course, we don’t have detailed information about the supply of various interchangeable straps, but we certainly do not plan to forget about accessories by simply unloading the standard watch on the market. Customization is still one of the main “chips” of the Moto 360.
The sports version of the Moto 360 has not yet been delivered even to European and American stores, so in Russia it is too early to wait, however much one would like. But we are working on this, since there is a demand for such special solutions. Recall that the sports model is equipped with an additional sensor - a GPS module, and it comes with a strap made of soft hypoallergenic material with enlarged holes. So the skin is easier to "breathe" during training.
Of course, it would be strange to be limited to the Moto 360 2 alone, returning Motorola to the Russian market. Therefore, we advise you to follow further announcements - there will be other interesting news. And thank you very much for your attention!
