January 9, 2025

We knew the Motorola G85 5G was coming and we got wind of it in the first week of June. However, after waiting for months, the phone has finally arrived in Nepal. In this article, we will discuss the Moto G85 5G along with its official price in Nepal.

Moto G85 5G Overview

Design and Display

The Moto G85 5G like many of its G-series compatriots, shares the overall design language. As such, it also has a camera island that seamlessly blends into the back panel. Meanwhile, this phone comes in three colour options and material choices. That being said, it ships in Olive Green, Cobalt Blue, and Urban Grey. Here, the former two have a vegan leather finish while the latter is made of a standard PMMA material.

On the front, it has a 3D curved screen with a pOLED panel. This display stretches 6.67-inch and FHD+ in resolution. In the meantime, it is capable of a 120Hz refresh rate, a 240Hz touch sampling rate, and 1,600 nits peak brightness. Moreover, the display on the Moto G85 5G is a 10-bit one covering DCI-P3 colour space.

Performance

Under the hood, this phone packs the newly launched Qualcomm Snapdragon 6s Gen 3. This chip is a mere refresh of the Snapdragon 695 5G, which was featured on the Moto G85 predecessor i.e. Moto G84 5G. So, you kind of get a chipset upgrade this time around. Also, it is the first phone to feature this Qualcomm chipset.

Additionally, the latest Moto offering is available in two memory options: 8GB and 12GB. Meanwhile, in terms of storage, you get a sole choice of 256 gigs. The Moto G85 5G has a good amount of expandability. Given that, you can virtually double the memory, and expand the storage up to a terabyte with a MicroSD card.

The other camera you get in here is an 8MP ultrawide shooter that also doubles down as a macro shooter. On the front, this phone dons a 32MP camera for selfies and face recognition.

In the tank, it has a 5,000 mAh battery with a charging speed of 30W. Other than that, it comes with stereo speakers as well as a dual-microphone setup. It supports 5G cellular, WiFi 5, Bluetooth v5.1, and NFC for wireless connectivity. The Moto G85 5G also comes with an eSIM offering a dual SIM experience.
