Barely a couple of months before the original Moto G 2015 entered the market, a new budget-friendly variant has come out in the open with the Moto G Turbo Edition.

The device was unveiled by Motorola Mexico and is only available for the Mexican market at least for now.

Being a special edition, the only glaring iteration seems to be the processor. Compared to the original Moto G 2015 that carried a Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 SoC, the Moto G Turbo Edition will be relying on a Snapdragon 615 processor.

It was previously believed that the 5-inch display would offer an improved HD resolution at 1920 x 1080 pixels, but Motorola Mexico clarified that the Turbo Edition will actually be coming out with the same 1280 x 720 pixel resolution after all.

Other than the processor, the overall specs seem pretty much the same. That includes 2 GB of RAM, an Adreno 405 GPU, 16 GB built-in storage that is expandable via microSD, a 13-megapixel camera, and a front-facing 5-megapixel shooter. It should be noted that the Moto G Turbo edition will only be offered with a 16 GB internal storage feature.

The Moto G 2015 Turbo edition will have the same 2470 mAh battery that should make the device good for use for up to a full day. The device also comes with a handy Quick Charge 2/Turbo Power technology which should address immediate charging needs just in case the device falls short of juice.

Similar to the original Moto G 2015 as well is that the device is water-resistant and will come with Android 5.1.1 Lollipop out of the box.

As far as pricing is concerned, the Moto G Turbo Edition will cost $35 more than the original SRP of the Moto G 2015 which is $273. For now, there is no word on whether Motorola plans to offer the Moto G Turbo Edition to other global regions.
