Motorola is back to its old tricks, with a renewed focus on mid-range and budget smartphones. Although they have also worked on some interesting flagships like the Moto G100, they are mainly focusing on making affordable budget and mid-range phones like the Moto G10, Moto G30 and the upcoming Moto G50. Now, XDAMishaal Rahman and I can share details about another mid-range phone in the new Moto G series: the Moto G60.
According to our sources, the Moto G60 (named “hanoip”) with Android 11 on board will be launched in Latin America and Europe. There are several SKUs with the following model numbers: XT2135-1, XT2135-2 and XT2147-1.
We learned that the Moto G60 has a 6.78-inch screen with Full HD + resolution, specifically 2460 × 1080. The display supports a 120Hz refresh rate, but we do not know if it is an AMOLED or LCD panel is not. There should also be a centered protrusion that shows a 32MP camera on the front. The rear cameras consist of a 108MP Samsung ISOCELL HM2 primary sensor, a 16MP OV16A1Q sensor that is likely to be paired with a wide-angle lens and a 2MP OV02B1b sensor. In terms of memory and storage, the phone should support 4 or 6 GB RAM and 64 GB or 128 GB UFS 2.1 storage. For power, the Moto G60 is expected to have a 6,000 mAh battery.
The biggest difference between the XT2135-1 / 2 and XT2147-1 models is that the latter swaps the 108MP image sensor manufactured by Samsung for a 64MP OmniVision manufactured one. The XT2147-1 model also has a 16MP image sensor on the front, rather than the 32MP found in the XT2135-1 / 2 models. Apart from that, we also learned that Motorola is working on several new camera features including a new document mode, low light AI, spot detection and dual recording video. Some or all of these features will appear in the Moto G60.
If some of these specifications sound familiar, it’s because the code name, camera specifications, and RAM / storage have been previously reported by both. myself and Nils Ahrensmeier at TechnikNews. But, XDA can now announce the name of the phone, share additional specifications and confirm most of the already reported specifications. The only specification we could not confirm is the chipset TecknikNuus reported the Moto G60 will feature the Qualcomm Snapdragon 732G chipset.
We do not know exactly when the Moto G60 will be launched, but we suspect that it will be launched soon. The phone is already certified by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), so a launch should not be too far-fetched.
