Motorola has formally announced the launch of Moto G in India. The 8 GB version of the smartphone is priced at Rs 12,499 while its 16 GB costs Rs 13,999. Both the versions though face tough competition from MNC as well as Indian handset players like Micromax who had recently launched its Canvas Turbo Mini which is available for around Rs 14,500.
Here is a comparison of the Canvas Turbo Mini A200 with the Motorola Moto G (16 GB) on the basis of their features.
Display
The Moto G comes with a 4.5 inch display with 1280×720 pixels resolution, which means it has huge 329 ppi pixel density. Micromax Canvas Turbo Mini has a slightly bigger 4.69 inch display but with the same 1280×720 pixel resolution.
Exact dimensions of Turbo Mini are not known but it is designed like the Canvas Turbo. The Turbo Mini has a metallic body and ofcourse a non-removable battery. The Moto G too has a non-removable battery but it has not a metallic body.
Moto G though has garnered rave reviews for its curvy body and removable and colourful back panel. Moreover, its display has Corning Gorilla Glass protection and it comes with water-repellent nano-coating inside and out.

Conclusion
The Moto G and Canvas Turbo Mini are quite different when it comes to look and feel. The Motorola phone is entirely plastic but colourful while the Canvas Turbo Mini is metallic. The Snapdragon 400 is still the low cost Processor of Qualcomm and since we have not tested either Moto G or the Turbo Mini, we at this point of time cannot say for sure which one is better. 
Also while the Moto G has a bigger battery, the Canvas Turbo Mini has more storage space. So it seems like the Micromax Canvas Turbo Mini has an EDGE over the Motorola Moto G. We will try to review the phones as soon as possible to discover the truth; till then keep checking The Mobile Indian.
