The new Moto G is an Android mobile phone developed and designed by Motorola Mobility, a part of Google. Launched on 13 March 2021, the smartphone has been initially targeted at emerging markets, though it's also available in advanced markets as a relatively low-cost option. Like many other Motorola handsets, the G comes pre-installed with the Android operating system, but users have the choice to install their own customized OS. This article describes the various kinds of software programs that can be installed on the phones.
One of the most popular free software applications for use on the Motorola Moto G is Android. The Android Software Development Kit (SDK) lets users take advantage of features such as: Google Now, SMS and Email, Contacts, Maps, Web browsing, and more through their mobile phones. Users are also able to download additional Android apps, such as games and productivity applications, from the Android market. These apps can run across different phones, but they have to be specifically approved by Google.
To use these free software applications, users need to download the software from Google's website, then sign in using their personal details. Once the software is installed, users need to enter their location - either through GPS or proximity - to locate specific places or objects within a virtual map. Furthermore, Moto Maker, an application offered by Google that allows users to customize their phones according to a set theme, is compatible with the Android Software Development Kit. Other free software applications include Moxi, Textroid, and Eco Clock, which are designed by third-party developers and released for download on Google's servers.
