Introduction to the Moto G96 5G

Motorola, a global leader in mobile technology and India’s leading AI smartphone brand, has recently launched the Moto G96 5G. This new model is positioned as the true successor to last year’s best-selling smartphone under Rs. 20,000, the Moto G85 5G. The Moto G96 5G brings a range of flagship-level features that cater to both performance and design, making it a compelling choice for tech-savvy consumers.

Display and Design

One of the standout features of the Moto G96 5G is its segment-best 144Hz 3D curved pOLED FHD+ display with IP68 underwater protection. The 6.67-inch screen offers vivid, lifelike visuals with 10-bit color, Display Colour Boost, and 1600 nits brightness, providing an immersive viewing experience. The 144Hz refresh rate ensures ultra-smooth scrolling and gameplay, adapting to save battery life when needed. The 3D curved endless-edge design enhances the overall aesthetic, offering an engaging entertainment experience.

The device is protected by ultra-durable IP68-rated water resistance and Corning Gorilla Glass 5, which resists scratches and everyday damage. Additionally, Smart Water Touch keeps the display responsive even when using wet hands.

Camera Capabilities

The Moto G96 5G features the segment’s best 50MP OIS Sony LYTIA™ 700C camera with Optical Image Stabilization. This camera reduces blur for sharper shots, especially in low light conditions. Powered by Moto AI, the camera system introduces intelligent AI features. Notably, it is the only smartphone capable of recording 4K video from all lenses, enabling ultra-high-resolution video capture from every angle.

The rear camera setup includes a versatile 8MP 3-in-1 camera that covers ultra-wide, macro, and depth shots. The front-facing camera is a 32MP selfie camera with 4K video support, ensuring sharp and well-lit selfies. Google Photos’ AI tools like Magic Eraser, Photo Unblur, and Magic Editor are also integrated for easy, pro-level photo editing.

Performance and Connectivity

Under the hood, the Moto G96 5G is powered by the segment-leading Snapdragon® 7s Gen 2 processor, built on a 4nm chipset. It comes with 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 256GB UFS 2.2 storage. An alternate variant with 8GB + 128GB storage is also available, while RAM Boost 3.0 dynamically expands memory up to 24GB.

The device supports 13 5G bands, VoNR, and 4-carrier aggregation, delivering stronger connectivity and improved download speeds. This makes the Moto G96 5G ideal for users who require fast and reliable internet access.

Design and Battery Life

In terms of design, the Moto G96 5G features a premium endless edge design with a perfectly integrated camera housing and a 3D curved ultra-premium build. Weighing just 178g with an ultra-thin profile of 7.93mm, it is one of the lightest and slimmest phones in its segment. Available in four trending Pantone-curated colors—Ashleigh Blue, Greener Pastures, Cattleya Orchid, and Dresden Blue—each finish comes in a stylish vegan leather texture that is comfortable to grip and resists fingerprints.

The Moto G96 5G is powered by a massive 5500mAh battery with up to 42 hours of runtime, thanks to smart battery optimization. It comes with a 33W TurboPower™ charger that delivers a full day’s power in just 15 minutes.
