Motorola is reportedly preparing to launch the Moto G96 5G in India as part of its growing portfolio of affordable 5G smartphones. Building on the success of the G73 and G84, the G96 5G is expected to offer a premium design, reliable Snapdragon chipset, and a large high-refresh-rate display positioning it as a solid option under ₹15,000 to ₹17,000 for performance-conscious buyers. The phone may feature a slim polycarbonate body with a matte finish and minimalist styling, in line with Motorola’s clean design approach.
Smooth 120Hz Display with Punch-Hole Design
The Moto G96 5G is likely to feature a 6.6-inch FHD+ LCD or AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, offering smooth visuals and great color accuracy for everyday tasks and multimedia. The centered punch-hole front camera, thin bezels, and vibrant screen make it a strong contender for gaming, OTT streaming, and casual content creation.
Snapdragon 695 or 4 Gen 2 for Efficient Performance
Although Motorola has yet to confirm the processor, leaks suggest the G96 5G will be powered by either the Snapdragon 695 or the newer Snapdragon 4 Gen 2, both of which are 6nm 5G-ready chipsets. These processors promise lag-free performance, thermal efficiency, and smooth multitasking. The device is expected to come with 6GB/8GB RAM and 128GB storage, along with microSD support and Motorola’s near-stock Android 14 UI.
50MP Dual Camera Setup for Everyday Photography
In the camera department, the G96 5G is rumored to include a 50MP primary sensor along with a 2MP depth or macro sensor. The camera app will likely support night mode, HDR, portrait, and Pro mode. A 16MP front camera is expected for selfies and video calling, making it ideal for social media content and online meetings.
Battery and Charging
The Moto G96 5G is likely to be backed by a 5,000mAh battery with 33W TurboPower fast charging, ensuring a full day of usage and quick top-ups. The phone will include a USB Type-C port, a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos, and IP52 splash resistance.
Expected Price and Launch Timeline in India
The Motorola G96 5G is expected to launch in Q3 2025, with an estimated price between ₹13,999 and ₹16,999, making it a strong rival to phones like the Redmi Note 13 5G, iQOO Z9x, and Lava Blaze Curve 5G. It will likely be sold via Flipkart and Motorola’s official channels.
