Moto G4 Play written as Moto XT 1607 was imported from the US with a per unit cost of Rs 6,804, according to data on the website. Import pricing is merely a reflection of what the phone will eventually retail at, so should not be taken as a final price. The phone is expected to launch in India soon. Moto G4 Play has a 5-inch full HD display, a smaller size compared to its siblings – the Moto G4 and G4 Plus with 5.5-inch screens. The phone is expected to be launched with only two colour options – White and Black. Play has a Snapdragon 410 quad-core processor, Adreno 306 GPU, 2GB RAM and 16GB storage (expandable to 128GB via microSD). It comes with an 8 megapixel rear camera and 5 megapixel front camera. The front camera supports Display Flash It runs the Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow OS and has a 2800 mAh battery.This one has a water repellent nano-coating, supports 4G, Bluetooth version 4.1 LE and WiFi 802.11 b/g/n (2.4 GHz).

The 3mm by 3mm motor drivers will focus on combining logic and power components in a single chip while taking care of power budgets and tight space. The drivers will operate from a supply voltage of 1.8V with the standby current of less than 80nA for a zero-power state. The drivers can also be used in a wide range of applications including robotic positioning systems, printer motors, camera-autofocus mechanisms, toothbrush motors or syringe pumps.

The existence of portable devices in everyday life is becoming more significant with the considerable increase in the use of well-developed battery-powered equipment with extended run-time that becomes smaller day by day.

“Our latest STSPIN single-chip devices are proven to simplify precision motor control and cut time to market for new products,” said Domenico Arrigo, General Manager Industrial and Power Conversion Division, STMicroelectronics. “The ultra-low power consumption extends runtime in battery-operated applications and enables designers to enhance portable and mobile devices with high-added-value motorized functions.”

ST’s new STSPIN motor devices are in production and are priced from $0.75 and $o.96 for order of 1,000 pieces.
