Motorola has introduced two new smartphones in its Moto G series today. Firstly, they have unveiled the new Moto G Play, which we have detailed in a separate article. Secondly, they have updated the Moto G lineup with the 2026 version, replacing the Moto G (2025) in less than a year since it first launched (curr. $174.99 on Amazon).
Similar Features
As expected, not much has changed in just ten months for the Moto G. The 6.7-inch, 720p, and 120 Hz IPS display from the previous model continues to be featured. The MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chipset, built on a 6 nm architecture, remains as well, consisting of two ARM Cortex-A76 performance cores and six Cortex-A55 efficiency cores, plus a Mali-G57 MP2 GPU. However, this time, it comes with a larger 5,200 mAh battery, which is a 200 mAh increase from the 2025 model.
Camera and Charging
On the charging front, it still includes 30 W wired charging, but there’s no support for wireless charging. The camera system also sees a familiar setup with a 50 MP main camera and a 2 MP macro sensor on the back. Notably, the front-facing camera has been upgraded from 16 MP to a 32 MP sensor, maintaining an f/2.4 aperture. Additionally, Motorola promises two major OS updates starting from Android 16, instead of Android 15 that was offered with the Moto G (2025).
The Moto G (2026) will be available for preorder directly from Motorola on December 11 for $199.99 in the US. It will also be accessible through network carriers on that same date. However, major retailers like Amazon and Best Buy will not have it in stock until January 15. For further details, check out Motorola’s website.
