Motorola Moto G (2026)

The Motorola Moto G (2026) has a non-folding, non-rugged build with a water-resistant rating, offering a degree of protection against moisture in everyday situations. It measures 167.2 mm in height, 76.4 mm in width, and 8.5 mm in thickness, resulting in a total volume of approximately 108.58 cm³. The device weighs 202 g, reflecting its larger form factor centered around the 6.7″ display.

The Motorola Moto G (2026) features a 6.7″ LCD IPS touchscreen with a 120Hz refresh rate, providing fluid on-screen motion for everyday use. The resolution stands at 720 x 1604 pixels, yielding a pixel density of 263 ppi, and the panel is protected by Gorilla Glass 3 for resistance against scratches and minor impacts. The display does not support HDR10, HDR10+, or Dolby Vision, and there is no Always-On Display mode or secondary screen present.

The Motorola Moto G (2026) is driven by the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chipset, manufactured on a 6 nm process and featuring an octa-core CPU with two cores clocked at 2.4 GHz and six cores at 2.0 GHz, supported by 8 threads and big.LITTLE architecture with HMP for efficient workload distribution. The SoC pairs with 4GB of DDR4 RAM running at 2133 MHz, a maximum memory ceiling of 12GB, and a memory bandwidth of 17.07 GB/s, while 128GB of internal storage can be supplemented by external cards of up to 1TB. Graphics are handled by the integrated Arm Mali-G57 MC2 GPU clocked at 950 MHz with DirectX 12 support, and the chip also includes integrated LTE. In benchmarking, the device scores 782 in Geekbench 6 single-core and 2012 in the multi-core test, with cache arranged across 512 KB L1, 1 MB L2, and 2 MB L3 levels.

The Motorola Moto G (2026) carries a dual-lens rear camera system led by a 50 MP primary sensor alongside a 2 MP secondary lens, both using a CMOS sensor without optical image stabilization or a back-illuminated sensor. Autofocus is handled via phase detection and touch AF, with continuous autofocus active during video recording, though laser autofocus is absent. The main camera records video at 1080p at 30 fps and supports slow-motion recording, while HDR10 and Dolby Vision recording are not available. Manual controls cover exposure, ISO, focus, and white balance, though manual shutter speed and RAW capture are not supported; additional shooting modes include burst, panorama, and timelapse. A single LED flash is present at the rear, while the front carries no flash. On the front, a 32 MP single-lens camera with an f/2.2 aperture handles selfies and is not positioned under the display.

The Motorola Moto G (2026) runs Android 16, a free and open-source platform that supports multi-user profiles, split-screen multitasking, Picture-in-Picture, widgets, and app offloading. Privacy controls are well represented, covering location access, camera and microphone permissions, clipboard warnings, and app tracking blocking, though cross-site tracking blocking and Mail Privacy Protection are absent. Customization options include dark mode, dynamic theming, and theme customization, while productivity is further aided by full-page scrolling screenshots, a media picker, Live Text, sharing intents, customizable notifications, and on-device machine learning. The device also supports offline voice recognition, voice commands, phone tracking, an extra dim mode, battery health monitoring, and the ability to play games while they are still downloading. Wi-Fi password sharing, focus modes, Quick Start, and the ability to function as a PC are not available, and the device does not receive direct OS updates from the vendor.

The Motorola Moto G (2026) houses a rechargeable 5200 mAh battery with a built-in level indicator, and supports 30W fast charging over a wired connection. Wireless charging and reverse wireless charging are not available, and the battery is non-removable. A charger is not included in the box.

The Motorola Moto G (2026) includes a 3.5 mm headphone jack and stereo speakers, along with a dual-microphone setup. No radio is present, and Bluetooth audio codec support is limited — aptX, aptX HD, aptX Adaptive, aptX Lossless, and LDAC are all absent.

The Motorola Moto G (2026) supports 5G connectivity alongside Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n) and Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac), and accommodates two SIM cards with an additional external memory slot for expandable storage. It connects via USB Type-C at USB 2.0 speeds and includes NFC, with a maximum download speed of 3300 Mbit/s. For navigation and sensing, the device offers GPS with Galileo support, a compass, gyroscope, accelerometer, and barometer, while a fingerprint scanner handles biometric authentication — 3D facial recognition and an iris scanner are not present. HDMI output, DLNA certification, ANT+, an infrared sensor, a heart rate monitor, satellite SOS, crash detection, motion tracking, optical tracking, and a built-in projector are all absent, and no stylus is included.

The Motorola Moto G (2026) includes a video light for illumination during video recording, while the display is flat rather than curved and uses neither sapphire glass nor an e-paper panel.
