The Moto G Turbo Edition comes with a Snapdragon 615 processor instead of the Snapdragon 410 that is found inside the Moto G (3rd Gen). Moreover, it also brings support for Turbo Charging, which Motorola claims to help this device in charging for 15 minutes to last as much as 6 hours. This mid-range smartphone also comes with IP67 certification, which means that it is water and dust resistant. If you can remember, the Motorola Moto G (3rd Gen) is just splash resistant, and can't protect the phone if it is dipped inside water.
