The main novelty of this Moto g100 is the presentation of ‘Ready For’, its new platform to get a desktop experience. It works both with a dock and with a direct cable.

Once connected, the user will still be able to receive calls and record video calls, but we can also move games or mobile applications to the big screen, adapting its interface to take advantage of the desktop format.

With Ready For, users can connect accessories such as a keyboard, mouse, or gaming controller for control, without having to install any additional software. Both via cable and Bluetooth.
