Motorola unveiled three new phones today: the Moto X Style, Moto X Play, and Moto G. Here is all you need to know about these three brand-new handsets.

Moto G

The Moto G is available today for all buyers internationally at $180. 

The phone is able to withstand any and all conditions due to its waterproof design. It features IPX7-rate protection and Corning Gorilla Glass that come together to make an unscratchable screen and a waterproof case. It features a 720p five-inch display and 8gb of built-in storage, although there is an option to insert a micro-SD card for more. You can choose between 1gb and 2gb of RAM. It carries a quad-core Snapdragon 410 chip and the same 13 megapixel camera found on the Nexus 6. 

You can personalize the phone with Motorola Shells that come in a plethora of colors or go to Moto Maker and further customize the phone. There, you can choose memory, color, and accent colors.

Moto X Style

The Moto X Style will be available in September for all buyers internationally at $399.99.

Resembling the Nexus 6, this phone is definitely the highlight of the lineup, with a 5.7-inch display, a six-core Snapdragon 808 chip, three gigs of RAM, a 21 megapixel rear camera, five megapixel front-facing camera, 3,000 mAh battery, and 64 gigs of storage. The phone charges faster than any other phone on the market, getting 10 hours of charge in just 15 minutes via TurboPower. 

The phone's appearance is customizable, like the Moto G. The Style can be upgraded with premium shells such as Saffiano leather and genuine wood.

Moto X Play

The Moto X Play will not be available in America, but Motorola promises "more choices later this year" for US customers. The Play will be available in August in Europe, Latin America, and Canada starting at £299. 

The phone features a 5.5-inch water-repelling display, 1.6GHz Snapdragon 615 octa-core processor, 2gb of RAM, a 21 megapixel camera, and a 48-hour 3,630mAh battery.
