Motorola Moto G50 5G goes official with MediaTek Dimensity 700 chipset

Motorola has been on a roll with new smartphone launches—particularly the 5G capable ones. The company recently launched Edge 20 and Edge 20 Fusion, both with a 5G-ready chipset. Now, Motorola has launched the Moto G50 5G in Australia. So, let’s get into the specs, features, expected price, and availability of the Motorola Moto G50 5G in Nepal. 

Motorola Moto G50 5G Overview:

Here, the Moto G50 5G builds on the Moto G50 that was announced earlier this year. What's interesting is that the G50 was already a 5G-capable device. Thus, the new Moto G50 5G is a refresh of the original Moto G50.

Design and Display

Starting with the display, the phone flaunts a 6.5-inch IPS panel with a 90Hz refresh rate. It is an HD+ display with a resolution of 720 x 1600 pixels. The front also has a waterdrop notch for the selfie camera. Overall, the phone is 9.26mm thick and weighs around 206 grams.   Moreover, the back of the phone has three cameras enclosed in a square-shaped module alongside the iconic Motorola "M" logo in the center. For biometrics, it has a side-mounted fingerprint sensor. The Moto G50 5G is available in two color options: Meteorite Gray, and Green.

Performance

Under the hood, the device packs a MediaTek Dimensity 700 processor. The chipset is coupled with up 4GB of RAM and 128GB internal storage. The latter is expandable up to 1TB via a microSD card. Moto G50 5G comes pre-installed with My UX based on Android 11. Likewise, the smartphone packs a 5000mAh battery that supports 10W fast charging via a Type-C port.
