Motorola has another affordable 5G smartphone in the pipeline
Three weeks after announcing the affordable Moto G30 and Moto G10, Motorola is preparing to launch two more smartphones. And thanks to a report by TechnikNews, we now know a bit about them.
Set to be positioned above the Moto G30 in Motorola’s lineup, the upcoming Moto G50 is going to be powered by Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 480 5G chipset, which means it’ll also be Motorola’s cheapest 5G model and possibly one of the best budget 5G phones on the market.
Paired with the chosen processor is said to be 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage as standard. Owners of the Moto G50 can also expect access to a 90Hz HD+ display of unknown dimensions that’s backed up by a 5,000mAh battery.
As for the all-important camera department, Motorola has a 48-megapixel main camera and a 2-megapixel depth sensor up its sleeves. There’ll presumably be ultra-wide and macro cameras too, but these haven’t been confirmed.
As we move further up the smartphone pricing spectrum, soon you’ll be able to get your hands on a new Motorola model known only by its codename — ‘Hanoip’ — at the moment.
This one is to be powered by the faster Snapdragon 732, so 5G connectivity won’t be included, but there will be a 4/64GB storage configuration as standard with the option of a pricier 6/128GB option.
Where this phone stands out from the crowd is the camera department. Today’s report points towards the presence of a 108-megapixel Samsung HM2 sensor that acts as the main camera.
A 16-megapixel ultra-wide-angle shooter and a 2-megapixel depth sensor are both on the cards too. There’ll be a fourth 8-megapixel sensor as well, but its functionality remains unclear.
Unfortunately, there’s no pricing or release information for this phone. But considering the more advanced specifications, it could be marketed as the Motorola Moto G70 or Moto G80.

The Motorola Moto G50 is expected to hit European shelves in the coming months. Rumor has it that it could retail at €229, but do take the price with a pinch of salt.
