What we know about Motorola’s next mid-range phone

Motorola is back to its old tricks, with a renewed focus on mid-range and affordable smartphones. Although they have also worked on some interesting flagships like the Moto G100, they are mainly focused on making an affordable budget and mid-range phones like the Moto G10, Moto G30 and the next Moto G50. Now, XDAMishaal Rahman and I can share details about another intermediate phone in the new Moto G series: the Moto G60.

According to our sources, the Moto G60 (code-named “hanoip”) will be launched with Android 11 on board in Latin America and Europe. There will be several SKUs with the following model numbers: XT2135-1, XT2135-2 and XT2147-1.

We learned that the Moto G60 will have a 6.78 inch screen with Full HD + resolution, specifically 2460 × 1080. The screen will support a refresh rate of 120 Hz, although we do not know if it is an AMOLED or LCD panel. There should also be a centralized screen clipping containing a 32 MP front camera. The rear cameras are comprised of a 108MP Samsung ISOCELL HM2 primary sensor, a 16MP OV16A1Q sensor likely paired with a wide-angle lens and a 2MP OV02B1b sensor. As for memory and storage, the phone must support 4 or 6 GB of RAM and 64 GB or 128 GB of UFS 2.1 storage. For power, the Moto G60 is expected to have a 6,000 mAh battery.

The main difference between the XT2135-1 / 2 and XT2147-1 models is that the latter exchanges the 108MP image sensor made by Samsung with a 64MP image sensor made by OmniVision. The XT2147-1 model also has a 16 MP front image sensor instead of the 32 MP sensor found on the XT2135-1 / 2 models. In addition, we also learned that Motorola is working on several new camera features, including a new document mode, low light AI, spot detection and dual capture video. Some or all of these features will appear on the Moto G60.

In case some of these specifications look familiar, it is because the code name, camera specifications and RAM / storage have been previously reported by both Myself and Nils Ahrensmeier in TechnikNews. Yet, XDA you can now reveal the phone name, share additional specifications and corroborate most of the specifications already reported. The only specification that we could not confirm is the chipset, however TecknikNews reports that the Moto G60 will feature the Qualcomm Snapdragon 732G chipset.

We don’t know exactly when the Moto G60 will be released, but we suspect it will be released soon. The phone has already been certified by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), so the launch shouldn’t be too distant.
