Speaking at the press conference, Marcus Frost, Senior Marketing Director – EMEA, Motorola Mobility,said that the incredibly low price of Moto G will allow an increasing number of consumers to experience the full advantages of mobile Internet, with the power to multi-task and run the latest games and apps smoothly.
“People all around the world want to be a part of the mobile Internet so they can access the world’s information, share, and connect with the things that matter to them. But the smartphone industry has relegated hundreds of millions of smartphone buyers to second-class status, preventing them from experiencing the mobile Internet at its best,” he said.
“We talked to 15,000 consumers all around the world to find out what was most important to them, and used what we learned to create Moto G, an affordable smartphone that doesn’t compromise on quality, style or experiences,”Frost added.
“The response to Moto G in North American and European markets has been phenomenal and we are pleased to bring this advanced smartphone to consumers in Saudi Arabia,” said Jose Froes Jr., Regional Managing Director – MEA, Brightstar. “We are confident that Moto G will appeal to the region’s consumers who demand high-performance, quality and value-for-money handsets.”

The attractive back covers – called Motorola Shells – are available in a wide variety of colours and styles, said Ali ElDroubi, GeneralManager – MENA, Brightstar.
In addition, the phone is equipped with Grip Shells to give Moto G added protection all around the edges and the front of the display. Plus, Flip Shells on the Moto G can both protect the display and automatically turn it on when you openthe cover and off when you close it.
