Motorola unveils the Moto G Pro in Europe, also prepping a US-bound Moto G Fast

Moto G8
As if Motorola’s mid-range smartphone lineup was not already expansive and confusing enough, the Lenovo-owned company has just taken the wraps off yet another eerily familiar Moto G-series model in Europe while also preparing a new addition to the same popular budget-friendly roster stateside.
Not another pen-wielding mid-ranger
Moto G Pro
Obviously, the Moto G Stylus is not available in the countries where this “all-new” Moto G Pro is already up for pre-order at a recommended price of €330 ahead of an actual release in early June. In case you’re wondering, that roughly equates to $360, which is unsurprisingly a little higher than the $300 US MSRP of the Moto G Stylus.
But while this all means we shouldn’t expect to see the Moto G Pro expanded to the US (now that would be confusing), the next phone is actually designed (or rather branded) specifically for that market.
The “standard” Moto G8 is finally coming to the US… kind of
While we can’t be 100 percent certain right now that the G Fast will replicate the G8’s specs and features to the letter, the two devices sure look similar, down to a noticeably thicker “chin” than what you get on the Moto G Stylus and even the Moto G Power.
The 30-second “leaked” video reveals the Moto G Fast will pack an unspecified octa-core processor and 3 gigs of RAM, the former of which could well be the same Snapdragon 665 powering the G8, G Stylus, and G Pro while the latter is actually one gig short of the international G8’s memory count. That’s not necessarily bad news if you’re interested primarily in the price point of the G Fast, which could definitely circle the $200 or even $150 mark.
The promo video goes on to highlight the macro and ultra-wide angle sensors of the upcoming US mid-ranger, which are probably not as impressive as they sound, settling for 2 and 8 megapixel counts respectively. But the 2-day battery life and overall design undoubtedly make the Moto G Fast a low-cost handset to watch.
