Motorola is bringing a new mid-range smartphone in India from its popular G series. The Moto G85 debuted in Europe last week as a rebranded Moto S50 Neo, and it’s now arriving in the Indian market as well. We have an official release date for this device and hints at its key specs and features.
Moto G85 India launch set for July 10
On its official website and Flipkart, the company shared teasers of the upcoming device showcasing its July 10 launch date. Those teaser posters confirmed a bunch of its features, confirming that it is identical to the European version of Moto G85. You get a tall 6.67-inch curved pOLED display on the front that offers FHD+ resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, 360Hz touch sampling rate, and up to 1600 nits of peak brightness.
Keeping up with most smartphones in this price segment, the rear features a 50-megapixel primary camera (Sony LYT-600 sensor), along with an 8-megapixel ultra wide angle lens. For selfies and video calls, there is a 2-megapixel shooter on the front. The Moto G85 packs the new Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 SoC, which is paired with 8GB or 12GB of RAM and 128GB or 256GB of internal storage. Motorola promises two years of Android updates and three years of security updates (Android 14 OS out of the box).
Sticking with the trend, the Moto G85 is also wrapped in a vegan leather finish at the back. Its body is rated with an IP52 for water and dust resistance. There are three color options to choose from, namely Cobalt Blue, Urban Grey, and Olive Green. A sizeable 5,000mAh battery pack powers this device, which supports 30W wired fast charging. Moto G85 drops on July 10 in India with offline availability confirmed via retail stores apart from Flipkart and Motorola India website.
