The Moto G42 India launch is reportedly slated for next week. The phone was originally launched earlier this month alongside the Moto G62 5G. According to tipster Yogesh Brar, the company plans to launch the Moto G42 in India next week. The device arrives as a slightly downgraded Moto G52, which landed in the country in April.
Moto G42 design, display, software function
The Moto G42 brings a slightly different design than its predecessor, the Moto G41, launched in November last year. The phone has a perforated design, thin bezels on the sides and top, and a slightly thick bottom. On the back, the smartphone has a square camera module in the top left corner, which houses the three lenses and the dual LED flash.
The smartphone has a 6.5-inch full HD+ MaxVision OLED screen with an aspect ratio of 20:9. The phone’s predecessor, the Moto G41, offers a slightly smaller 6.4-inch full HD+ OLED display. Regarding software, the Moto G42 boots Android 12 with the brand’s My UX at the top. On the right side, as a fingerprint sensor, the Moto G42 gets the volume rocker and the power button.
Moto G42 gets improved cameras, Snapdragon 680 SoC
The Moto G42 has received a minor upgrade in terms of cameras. The phone has a 50MP f/1.8 main sensor compared to a 48MP primary shooter on its predecessor. The other two lenses are the same: an 8MP ultra-wide angle lens and a 2MP macro snapper. The selfie camera has also been bumped up to 16MP from 13MP on the Moto G41.
The Moto G42 is powered by the octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 processor based on the 6nm manufacturing process. The chipset is paired with the Adreno 610 GPU, 4 GB of RAM, and 128 GB of native storage that can be expanded up to 1 TB. Connectivity features include 4G LTE, dual-SIM slots, dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.0, NFC, and a USB Type-C port. A 5,000 mAh battery with 20 W turbocharging keeps the show going.
Moto G42 price in India, color models
The Moto G42 is available in the Brazilian market for BRL 1,699, which roughly translates to Rs. 25,500 in Indian currency. There is no word on the device’s price for Indian consumers. However, we can expect it to be offered for around Rs. 20,000 – 22,000 in the country. The color variants include Metallic Rose and Atlantic Green.
Moto G62 Budget 5G phone coming soon
In addition to the Moto G42, the company is also expected to launch the Moto G62 in the country soon. The phone was recently launched as a budget 5G smartphone. The Moto G62 has a higher refresh rate of 120 Hz and an IPS LCD panel, while the screen size remains the same as the Moto G42.
The Moto G62 is supported by the octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 480+ 8nm mobile platform. The chipset is paired with the Adreno 619 graphics processing unit. The rest of the device’s specs, including RAM, storage, Android version, front and rear cameras, and battery capacity, are the same as the Moto G42.
