It offers an all-day battery, a 13 megapixel camera - up from 8 megapixels in last year's model - and customization options on Moto Maker.

Motorola said the new Moto G will retail in the U.S. for about $180 without a contract.

The Moto X Play comes with up to 48-hours of battery life and a water-repellent design. It is equipped with a 21 megapixel camera and a 5.5-inch HD display.

The Moto X Style has a 5.7-inch edge-to-edge display that?s enhanced by rich stereo sound. And when your battery needs a boost, the fast charging smartphone will get 10 hours of power in just 15 minutes of charging with TurboPower. In addition, the Moto X Style now boasts one of the best cameras in the industry. You can take photos and video with the 21-megapixel camera or look your best in selfies with the 5-megapixel front-facing camera featuring a wide angle lens and selfie flash.
