The Moto G Turbo Edition will go live in India on Wednesday, Dec. 9. Motorola India recently took to Twitter to tell fans to "power up and get ready."

The handset is basically the third-gen Moto G that debuted earlier this year but with support for Motorola's Turbo Power quick charging functionality. With the help of its special adapter, the smartphone can charge its 2,470 mAh battery up to 75 percent faster.

Per NDTVGadgets, the Moto G Turbo Edition flaunts a five-inch 720 x 1280 screen protected with Gorilla Glass 3. Qualcomm's Snapdragon 615 chipset is on board, complete with an eight-core CPU and the Adreno 405 GPU.

In the memory department, the handset is fitted with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of built-in storage expandable via microSD slot. There was no mention as to what extent disk space can be expanded to, but taking the third-gen Moto G as a precedent, expansion should be around 32 to 64GB.

The 13-megapixel rear camera has an aperture of f/2.0, allowing users to capture decent images even under low-light conditions. Selfies and video calls are taken care of by a five-megapixel front-facing snapper.

Professional photojournalist Brendan Smialowski said on Quora that an f/2.0 lens absorbs a lot of light. In the photography business, this type of lens is colloquially referred to as fast lens since it offers faster shutter speeds compared to standard lenses.

Equipped with an IP67 certification, the Moto G Turbo Edition can be submerged in not deeper than three feet of water for 30 minutes, and walk away unscathed. This is a major upgrade from the typical nano-coating technology that protects some of Motorola's other handsets from light rain and spills.

The Moto G Turbo Edition boots Android 5.1.1 straight out the box while having support for 4G LTE connectivity, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0.

The newer generation Bluetooth transmits smaller bits of data and puts the connection in standby mode when smartphones aren't used, LaptopMag reported.

When two Bluetooth 4.0 handsets are paired with one another, they drain less battery juice since the connection is immediately set in idle. Prior Bluetooth builds require users to manually disable connectivity.

Folks in India will be able to grab hold of the Moto G Turbo Edition for the equivalent of $283. The smartphone was released in Mexico just last month.

"Motorola built a solid phone and didn't compromise the spec sheet in any major way. The Moto G may not have cutting-edge specs, but it's all the phone your average user needs," said tech reviewer Malarie Gokey of DigitalTrends. "In fact, if you told a power user that this is the new flagship phone from Motorola, they'd need a discerning eye to figure out you're lying."
