Moto G 5G rear cameras
TL; DR
- Motorola Moto G85 5G renders and specifications have been leaked online via a trusted leaker.
- The images show a phone that is quite different in design from the Moto G84.
The Motorola Moto G series has been around for ages and they are usually solid choices for the best cheap phones in the U.S. The company also offers Moto Gxx phones, but these are generally limited to Europe and other regions. Now it looks like a new member in this family has appeared online.
Tipster @MysteryLupin has posted Motorola Moto G85 5G renders and specs at X. The images show a phone that differs from the Moto G84 in several ways. The flat edges and flat screen of the old phone have been replaced by railings and a curved panel, suggesting premium construction. The Moto G85 5G also has a camera bump that appears to be integrated into the back cover. Otherwise we have a phone in black, blue and gold/yellow.
The leaked specs specifically point to a Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 chipset on board the phone, complete with an Adreno 619 chipset. We've never heard of this processor before, and the most recent chip in the Snapdragon 6 series is the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1. We don't have high hopes that this chip will be a major upgrade over the aging Snapdragon 695 processor from the G84, as they seem to do. share the same GPU.
Otherwise, the Moto G85 5G looks broadly similar to the older device, with 8GB of RAM, 256GB of storage, a 6.67-inch 120Hz OLED display (FHD+), and a 5,000mAh battery with 33W wired charging . The phone is also said to offer a 50MP main camera, a 9MP ultrawide shooter (we're not sure if this is a typo) and a 32MP selfie camera.
There's no word on pricing or other details, but the Moto G84 5G retailed for £250 (~$319). So we expect a comparable price for the new device.
