Motorola has added yet another smartphone to the Moto G family of phones. Dubbed as the Moto G 5G, it is the company’s first phone to feature Qualcomm Snapdragon 750G SoC. We have seen the chipset used by Xiaomi on the Mi 10T Lite smartphone last month, and now, Motorola is making use of it. As the name of the smartphone itself suggests, it is a 5G smartphone running Android 10 out of the box. Alongside the Moto G 5G, the company also launched Moto G9 Power with a beefy 6000mAh battery. The Moto G 5G is backed by a 5000mAh battery with 20W fast charging support and it comes in two variants. For now, Motorola confirmed the launch of Moto G 5G in the European market and there’s no confirmation regarding the Indian launch.
