Moto G52 tipped to launch with the Snapdragon 680 chipset

By

The folks at 91mobiles have shared details of the Moto G52 following their report about Motorola launching 19 phones internationally this year. Popular tipster Evan Blass is their source for this new leak. While the name of the device gives an impression of it being the successor to the Moto G51 5G, that may not actually be the case as the upcoming phone is said to be missing 5G functionality.

The Moto G52 is supposed to feature a Snapdragon 680 chipset that isn’t 5G-capable. In contrast, the Moto G51 5G features the 5G ready Snapdragon 480+ chipset. The former isn’t as capable as the Snapdragon 480+, but is more power-efficient. As per the report, Moto G52 will be offered with 4GB/6GB of RAM and 128GB/256 GB of storage.

The Moto G52 is expected to sport a 6.55-inch P-OLED display with 90 Hz refresh rate. The phone may pack a 5000mAh battery and ship with Android 12 out of the box. In terms of cameras, the Moto G52 could be equipped with a 50-megapixel main sensor, an 8-megapixel ultrawide camera, and a 2MP depth lens, on the rear. O the front, it may feature a 16MP selfie camera.

The Moto G52 is likely to get IP52 dust and water resistance. It also may have a stereo speaker setup and a side-mounted fingerprint for authentication. Apart from the specs, the leak also reveals the completed design of the Moto G52, which is unsurprisingly similar to any of the recent G-series phones.

Moto G Power 5G adds a flagship feature to a budget phone
Render of the Motorola Moto G Power 5G in a white color against a light purple background.

Motorola may be making a play for the flagship market with the Motorola Edge 40 Pro, but budget phones are what the American monolith is best known for. While it won't be making as many waves as the latest Samsung phone or Apple iPhone launch, the newest iteration of the Moto G is always something worth paying attention to, as Motorola is a true veteran of the space and knows what makes an excellent cheap device.

Best of all, this new Moto G comes at a time when budget phone enthusiasts have never had it so good. Previously premium features are filtering down into lower-priced devices, without altering that sweet low price or the features everyone loves. That's exactly what's happening with the new Motorola Moto G Power 5G, which includes a 50-megapixel main camera lens, a larger amount of storage, and a big screen with a 120Hz refresh rate. With the big 5,000mAh battery the G Power range is known for, this could be the $300 phone to grab if you love a budget bargain.

Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X75 ushers in the next era of 5G connectivity
Qualcomm Snapdragon X75.

Qualcomm has just announced the Snapdragon X75, the company's sixth-generation 5G modem that promises to push smartphones and other connected devices into the next phase of 5G technology.

The Snapdragon X75 is the successor to last year's X70, which is the modem found in the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 that powers this year's most powerful 5G smartphones — including Samsung's recently unveiled Galaxy S23 Ultra and the OnePlus 11. However, it's more than just an evolution of that earlier modem system, as Qualcomm has packed in support for next-generation 5G Advanced technology along with an entirely new architecture and powerful AI features that will allow mobile devices to access better coverage and achieve even faster speeds.

Moto G Play (2023) serves up a smooth screen and big battery for just $170
Motorola Moto G Play 2023's official render.

Motorola has a new ultra-affordable phone on offer, and this one serves up a few perks usually seen on higher-end phones. The latest budget warrior from the company is the Moto G Play (2023) — a phone that only costs $170 and will be sold unlocked by Amazon, Best Buy, and Motorola starting January 12. 
The most striking aspect of the phone is its screen. You get a modern-looking 6.5-inch display with palatable bezels and a small hole-punch cutout at the top that houses the selfie camera rather than an eyesore waterdrop notch. 

The resolution has been capped at HD+ (1600 x 720 pixels), which isn't surprising for a phone in this price bracket. However, Motorola is adding some pizzazz courtesy of a smooth 90Hz panel, a convenience Apple doesn't offer on the iPhone 14 despite asking $800 for it. 
Another notable aspect of the Moto G Play (2023) is the battery size. Motorola has armed it with a 5,000mAh battery that is claimed to last up to three days. Those are rather generous figures, but given the phone's modest internals, it will easily go past a day. 
The phone is powered by MediaTek's Helio G37 chip, paired with a modest 3GB of RAM and 32GB of onboard storage. Thankfully, you can expand the storage by popping in a card of up to 512GB capacity.
