Engadget Logo The Japanese version of the 50, 000 yen Snapdragon870 carries the 5G mobile phone "moto G100" Motorola has released in China.

On May 13th, Motorola Mobility Japan announced that the moto G100, the first 5G compatible terminal, will be released on May 28th in the domestically developed moto g family. The price of SMOTO STORE is 58, 800 yen (including tax).

So far, the moto g family gives people the impression of reasonable specifications and moderate prices, and the moto G100 is a high-end terminal equipped with Snapdragon870. It is true that it pales in comparison with the flagships of other companies that have recently launched Snapdragon888, but it will hardly be dwarfed by the terminal that goes on sale in 2020. In spite of this, specifications have also declined in some places, perhaps in order to achieve low prices.

The main specifications include: the Snapdragon 870 supports 8 GB RAM, 128 GB storage space, and 1 TB maximum microSDXC. The battery capacity is 5000mAh and supports 20W high-speed charging. In addition to supporting 5G (supporting Sub6), we also support WiFi 6. The size of the fuselage is 168.38x73.97x9.69 mm and the weight is about 215g.

6.7in, 21:9 vertical display

The display screen is 6.7in LCD with a resolution of 2520x1080. Like the recent Xperia, this is an aspect ratio of 21:9. The refresh rate corresponds to 90 Hz. The front camera is based on 16 million pixels (wide angle 78 °) and has a dual specification of 8 million pixels (ultra wide angle 118o).

The rear camera is made up of 64 million-pixel standard 16 million-pixel ultra-wide-angle + macro and 2 million-pixel depth sensor. In addition, we are equipped with ToF sensors.

In addition, so far, the fingerprint sensor on the motorola terminal is usually marked with an "M" on the back, while the moto G100 is used in conjunction with the side power button.

Press the power button twice to install a new POWER TOUCH to display a dedicated transmitter.

Facing the left side, install the Google Assistant button. SIM slots are available in dual specifications, one of which is microSD and exclusive. Note that it supports DSDS for 5G+4G.

The underside is also equipped with a 3.5mm Jack.

Double camera to macro ring light

The rear camera of the Moto G100 has several features, one of which is the ring lamp for macro. There is a circular light around the macro (wide-angle) lens, which can be lit up during macro shooting.

In macro photography, the shadow of the smartphone itself tends to darken, but with circular lights, this problem can also be solved.

The shooting of standard lens and ultra-wide-angle lens gives a very average impression. If you are not a high-end model at all, it may be difficult to make a difference in photo taking.

Another feature related to the camera is the dual shooting function of the video. This means that both the back camera and the front camera can be taken at the same time. You can choose picture 2 segmentation or picture form. Both cameras can switch between standard and ultra-wide angle during shooting.

In addition, video shooting also provides a "Audio Zoom" function to amplify the sound in the zoom area of the audiovisual device.

Can be used for desktop-style Ready For

Along with the camera function, the core function of the moto G100 is Ready For, which can be connected to the display screen and used in a desktop environment.

All in all, like Samsung's DeX and HUAWEI's PC model, motorola once developed a Webtop that connects smartphones to display screens and dedicated laptops and can be used in desktop-style environments. Webtop itself ended development in 2012, but almost the same idea has been revived.

However, unlike DeX, in addition to the desktop environment, there is also a mode dedicated to games, TV, and video chat.

If it's a TV, YouTube and other video services. If it is a game, you can use the installed game application, and video chat can be used on connected monitors such as Duo and Zoom. Unlike mirroring, you can also use different applications (or the same applications cannot be displayed) on the moto G100 side.

Although you can play games on a big screen, you can't operate with a smartphone, so you need another controller, mouse and keyboard. However, if you support touch operation on a mobile display, you can also play with a large tablet.

It's a pity that FeliCa doesn't carry a high-end model with 50,000 yuan.

Finally, I tried to measure the benchmark. The AnTuTu score is "677434". It is equipped with Snapdragon 870s, and the score is quite high.

The Moto G100 is moderately priced and moderately priced, but with a number of features, it is likely to be the focus this summer. Having said that, if it is at this price, I hope it can carry FeliCa. If FeliCa is not needed, it can also be used comfortably as the main terminal.
