Motorola’s Moto G200 is coming to China in January 2021

Motorola officially launched the Moto G100 in March 2021 and released it in the United States in July. Now, the successor to the device — the Moto G200 — has been unveiled . The phone has been internally code-named “Yukon/Xpeng.” The new smartphone is expected to be launched in China as the Moto Edge S30 and be available for sale in January 2021.

Motorola’s upcoming device will have a plastic unibody, with a 6.8 inch LCD full HD+ display featuring an impressive refresh rate of 144Hz. This is much higher than the Moto G100’s refresh rate of 90Hz. The Moto G100’s Snapdragon 870 5G chipset will also receive a more powerful upgrade, with the G200 expected to be powered by a Snapdragon 888 processor. It will feature 8GB RAM and either 128 GB and 256 GB of storage.

Motorola has ditched the telephoto camera for this model. The front selfie camera in the hole-punch cutout at the top will have a resolution of 16 megapixels and be powered by an OV16A1Q sensor, which has been used in devices such as the Xiaomi Redmi Note 9Pro and the Moto G60. The primary camera is the impressive S5KHM2 108MP sensor from Samsung, while the ultrawide camera lens is a macro sensor with a resolution of 8MP. The third and final rear camera is a 2MP depth sensor from OmniVision.

Motorola had a rough 2024. Here’s what it needs to do in 2025

Change is in the air. Leaves are turning into lovely shades of yellow and red, the temperature is getting crisper, and nights are getting longer. Fall is officially here, as is the rapidly approaching end of 2024.

This is the time of year when most companies have released all of their big products, and as such, it's a good time to look back at what worked, what didn't work, and how that can be used to improve things in the new year. Motorola had a rollercoaster of ups and downs in 2024, and with 2025 rearing its head, there are a few things I think the company needs to focus on for a smoother year ahead.
Keep up the momentum of the Razr series

Remember Moto AI? Motorola finally has an update on it

When Motorola launched the Razr Plus 2024 this year, it also mentioned some of its own AI-powered tools, appropriately named Moto AI. However, we’ve only seen Moto AI through a couple of image-generation tools like Magic Canvas and Style Sync. Now, Motorola has just announced at Lenovo Tech World 2024 that more Moto AI tools are coming, at least in beta form.

Motorola discussed some Moto AI features earlier this year, including Catch Me Up and Remember This. The Catch Me Up feature lets you get a prioritized summary of your notifications so you don’t have to scroll through a bunch of missed notifications. There is also Pay Attention, which helps users recall instructions or details without having to write notes or listen to long recordings. Remember This captures live moments or onscreen information when activated and saves it while providing AI-powered insights.

It looks like Motorola is finally fixing its software update problem

Motorola may be catching up to companies like Samsung and Google regarding the number of years of Android updates it provides for its smartphones. A new Motorola phone could come with five years of updates, and it represents the second Motorola phone to do so in as many months.

The recently announced Motorola Moto G75 will come with five Android OS upgrades and six years of security patches. By our count, this would mean that users will be able to update their phone to at least Android 19, considering that the Moto G75 ships with Android 14. Last month, it was announced that the Motorola Edge 50 Neo would include five years of OS upgrades and security patches.
