[Exclusive] Motorola Moto G52: First images and full specifications

Highlights

• Motorola continues its mass production of phones with the Moto G52 mid-ranger
• Its predecessor, the Moto G51, debuted less than six months ago: November 2021
• While the G52 checks a few squares, it follows previous variants in this line with the omission of 5G connectivity

If it seems like only yesterday that Motorola introduced a quartet of mid-range phones in the Moto G range — the Moto G31, G41, G51, and G71 — you wouldn’t be far off: These models debuted in late November of this year. last year. However, the company has already begun to launch frequent successors to that group, with the first of these announcements being the Moto G22 (formerly known by the codename Hawaii+).

It’s quite clear that the Lenovo subsidiary is eschewing a more traditional annual release schedule in favor of replacing or supplementing phones on the market with a faster clip. Whether this relatively fast turnover will prove to be a competitive advantage remains to be seen: phone buyers can already become salty at the moment when a purchase of several hundred or thousands of dollars last year looks like it has usurped, even with a full twelve months between releases. .

However, the next Moto G52 (codenamed Rhode) will be from the Moto-juggernaut, a large-screen mid-ranger with a thick battery but no 5G support in line with previous generations of the Moto G5x. Specifically, we’re looking at a Snapdragon 680 processor at the heart of a 6.55-inch phone with an FHD+ pOLED display capable of 90Hz refresh, and either 4GB or 6GB of RAM coupled with 128GB or 256GB of RAM.

The IP52-certified G52 will have a 50MP main camera, which is popular on a wide range of Motorola phones this year, along with an 8MP wide angle and 2MP depth sensing, as well as 16MP punch-hole front cameras. As mentioned earlier, at 5,000 mAh, its battery is one of the largest that Motorola puts in its devices. Anticipate the imminent global debut of this newcomer to Android 12.
