Look and feel
There doesn’t appear to be anything major differentiating the Moto G Turbo Edition from its elder sibling. The two measure and weigh exactly the same. Our Turbo Edition review sample had a black front and a very neat-looking grey-blue rear panel. The rear still has a rubbery finish that offers a solid grip, but now there’s a slight swirl to the previously straight ribbed pattern. This is easily one of the most attractive and well-built phones in its price bracket.
The panel also comes into play in ensuring that the Moto G lives up to its IP67 certification. There are rubber inserts on the underside which form seals around the Micro-SIM and microSD slots. Every time you pull the panel off, you’ll see an on-screen reminder to make sure that it’s reattached properly.
