The Moto G 5G has now been leaked in a series of press releases showing for the first time the first Motorola G-series with 5G technology.
With the return of Motorola, now owned by Lenovo, to flagship smartphones with the Motorola Edge + earlier this year, it didn’t appear that the company’s budget device base would be left behind. The immensely popular Moto G series is one of those lineups Motorola will count on for a long time yet.
However, with the constant launch of 5G, hopefully we will see a Moto G with connectivity. Leaked renderings of Moto G 5G courtesy of OG leaker Evan Blass, aka @evleaks, who shared them on his Patreon account. The images show what appears to be a suitable double hole notch. By this we mean that it is two different holes instead of a pill cutout. It is strange but, at least, it attracts attention.
The specs are pretty unknown, but the slightly grainy image appears to have embossed “48MP” underneath the four-camera array at the rear. So expect to see a camera setup that relies heavily on a 48-megapixel primary sensor. We would bet that we will see an ultra wide-angle lens and a telephoto lens with zoom, with a macro or depth sensor that completes the quintet of camera options.
From the Moto G 5G renderings side, you can see what appears to be a side mounted capacitive fingerprint reader. It looks like the iconic Motorola logo dimple won’t hide a scanner this time, which is a shame.
With the Motorola One Fusion occupying the price point below $ 300, it’s unclear where this upcoming Moto G will fit in the product line. The Moto G8 Plus sells for around $ 250 in the US, which would generally be the price we would expect the Moto G to hit. However, 5G will certainly increase that price.
As Qualcomm just announced the 5G-enabled Snapdragon 690 chipset, it wouldn’t be hard to see that the Moto G 5G will come with the new chipset. Qualcomm also confirmed that we will see Motorola hardware packaging the super-fast data chipsets in the second half of 2020. We would expect to learn more about this device based on this tidbit in the coming months.
