Affordable Motorola Moto G85 with lots of RAM quietly announced


Lenovo has announced another Motorola in addition to the razr 50 and razr 50 ultra; the Moto G85 5G. This went without a press release and without much fanfare, but not entirely justified as far as we are concerned. You can read why here.

The Motorola Moto G85 is a 5G phone just like its predecessor. This time it is powered by a Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 from Qualcomm. That sounds like a new processor but by now we know it's pretty much the same as the Snapdragon 695 from the Moto G84. So what is new?

For starters, there is the considerably larger RAM memory (RAM) of a whopping 12GB. For such a phone with a low price tag, that's a remarkable amount. As a result, we expect apps to run quickly. Storage memory, as before, comes out to 256GB and is easily expandable with a memory card.

Temporary with free charger

Charging the 5000mAh large battery is extra fast with a whopping 33 watts of power. It's also nice that Lenovo is temporarily including a TurboPower charger. What is strange is that this one has a power of 68W which is thus considerably more than the Moto G85 supports.

The G85 5G features a 6.67-inch large pOLED screen with 120Hz smooth and FHD+ sharp display. On the back you will find a dual camera of 50 and 8 megapixels. The sensor with the most megapixels is the acclaimed Sony LYTIA 600 sensor and it features a lens with optical image stabilization for extra sharp photos.

The Motorola Moto G85 5G will be in stores from mid-July for a suggested retail price of 349.99 euros. You can Choose between the Olive Green, Cobalt Blue and Urban Gray versions.
