Beginning with the Moto G96 5G, Motorola is launching a new sub-tier in its Moto G smartphone portfolio. As of yet, no Moto G90 series phone has been released worldwide. Through an X post and a Flipkart webpage, the company has now announced the Moto G96’s impending debut in India.
On July 9 at noon (IST), the Moto G96 will launch in India through Flipkart. The phone’s appearance is reminiscent of the Motorola Edge 50 Fusion. The G96 features a left-oriented vertical twin rear camera arrangement, similar to the Edge series phones. The camera island is a little higher than the body itself. The display features a punch hole in the middle, and the sides are gently curved.
In addition to the blue colour Pantone 646 C, the phone has also been shown in magenta, green, and cyan blue. Motorola emphasises the phone’s IP68 water and dust protection. You can scroll even with wet hands thanks to support for Water Touch.
