Motorola is bringing 5G connectivity to its midrange Moto G lineup<\/a> with a new Moto G 5G Plus model — but it won’t be releasing in the US.<\/p>\n The Moto G 5G Plus features a 6.7-inch FHD+ display with a 90Hz refresh rate and two hole-punch cameras in it (a 16-megapixel selfie camera and an 8-megapixel ultrawide, a first for Motorola). There’s also a quadruple rear camera system: a 48-megapixel main lens, a 5-megapixel macro camera, an 8-megapixel ultrawide, and a 2-megapixel depth sensor.<\/p>\n Rounding out the spec sheet is a 5,000mAh battery, 20W USB-C TurboPower fast-charging, NFC support, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. (Notable absences include a fingerprint reader, wireless charging, and waterproofing, all of which have been absent from other midrange Motorola phones.)<\/p>\n But the key spec here is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 765 processor<\/a>, which features an integrated X52 5G modem, making the Moto G 5G Plus the cheapest 5G phone Motorola has sold yet. The Snapdragon 765 only supports sub-6GHz 5G, so you won’t be able to use it with mmWave networks, but it’s still a big step forward in making 5G more accessible.<\/p>\n Motorola has been making 5G devices for longer than nearly anyone else in the mobile phone business. Thanks to the 5G Moto Mod for the Moto Z lineup, it arguably released the first “5G” phone on the market. But all of its 5G devices have been expensive: the Moto Mod cost $349.99<\/a> when it launched (in addition to the cost of a Moto Z3 or Z4 phone). And its other 5G phones, the Motorola Edge<\/a> and Edge Plus<\/a>, cost $699 and $999, respectively.<\/p>\n The Moto G 5G Plus looks to change that by offering 5G phones for under $500. It’ll come in two versions: a €349 (roughly $392.27) model with 4GB RAM and 64GB of storage, and a €399 (around $448.47) version with 6GB RAM and 128GB of storage. That’s far less than any other 5G phone the company has sold so far.<\/p>\n The Moto G 5G Plus is set to launch on July 8th “across Europe,” with additional launches in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates planned “in the coming months.”<\/p>\n US customers won’t be left completely out, though. Motorola says that it’s “committing to launch a sub-$500 5G device in North America this fall,” although the company isn’t saying whether that will be a US version of the Moto G 5G Plus or an entirely different phone.<\/p>\n Tags:<\/b> Chaim Gartenberg<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"![\"\"](\"https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/bLB2E9Ho70alvMfEy4DeuuGKQ-k=\/0x0:1920x1080\/1200x0\/filters:focal(0x0:1920x1080):no_upscale()\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/20065276\/Untitled_1.png\")
