August 21, 2024

Motorola has added one more model to its mid-range smartphone series by introducing the Moto G45 5G. In this article, we will discuss everything we know about the Moto G45 including its specs, features and expected price in Nepal.

Moto G45 5G Overview

Design and Display

The Moto G45 5G has a similar design to Motorola’s other recent offerings with the seamless camera island. The phone is available in three colors: Brilliant Blue, Brilliant Green, and Viva Magenta. All the options come with a vegan leather finish on the back panel. On top of that, it has an IP52 rating and is “water repellent”.

Moving on to the display, it features a 6.5-inch display with Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection. The company does not mention the type of panel on the Moto G45 5G, and sidelines it saying “Bright Display”. This likely means that it is an LCD and might have relatively high brightness compared to other devices in the same price range. Other than that, it features a variable refresh rate between 60Hz to 120Hz and a touch sampling rate of 240Hz.

Performance

This phone was expected to sport a Snapdragon 6 series processor, and it indeed does. The Moto G45 5G comes with the Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 which is apparently the segment’s fastest 5G processor. This silicon is basically the same as Snapdragon 695 5G from a few years back.

Additionally, the phone is available in two memory options: 4GB and 8GB. On the other hand, you only get a single storage option of 128GB. The Moto G45 5G allows you to virtually extend the RAM and achieve up to 16GB combined memory. It will likely offer external storage expansion as well. Software-wise, it boots on Android 14 and will receive one year of OS and three years of security updates.
