Motorola ready to launch Moto G85 5G

Motorola has been aggressively pumping out smartphones in the affordable price range — particularly in its G-series. Last month, it launched the Moto G64 5G as the first phone with the Dimensity 7025 chipset. Now, the company is ready to launch another entry in the G-series. In this article, we will discuss everything we know about the upcoming Moto G85 5G in further detail.

Moto G85 5G Rumour Round-up

Cameo

The soon-to-launch Moto G85 5G is the successor to the Moto G84 5G that went live sometime around September 2023. The phone made its cameo via a retailer's website in Europe. The listing has barely any information besides the memory + storage combo and the pricing.

Performance

Let's start by stating the obvious, the Moto G85 5G will come with 12GB RAM coupled with 256GB storage. This combination is the same as the one we saw in its predecessor. This begs the question... What about the processor? The Moto G84 5G had the Snapdragon 695 chipset under its helm. So, will we see the same thing this time around as well? That's a likely possibility. However, if we do see a processor upgrade on the Moto G85 5G, it might opt for something like the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 or the recently launched Dimensity 6300.

The rest

Now, we don't have any other information on the phone. So, we will just do some speculations. Starting with the design, the Moto G85 5G will have IP54 water resistance, which has been a standard across the company's recent offerings. Last time, we saw a leather back on the phone, so we expect the same this time around as well. The phone will likely not see any changes on the front either. Given that, it will sport the same 6.55-inch 10-bit screen with a pOLED panel and 120Hz refresh rate.

Similarly, we don't see a chance that Moto changes anything else on the G85 5G. As such, it will come with the same 50MP primary camera and an 8MP ultrawide shooter on the back. Meanwhile, the front camera will have a 16MP unit. In the tank, it will pack the standard 5,000 mAh battery and support 33W wired fast charging.

Moto G85 5G Price in Nepal and Availability

The phone made its cameo on a retail site in Europe, suggesting that the phone has already arrived with the retailer. This means the phone will soon its way to the market officially. In the meantime, it was listed with a price tag of EUR 300 — the same as the initial pricing of the Moto G84 5G. Based on this rumour, we are expecting the Moto G85 5G price in Nepal to be around NPR 51,999.
