Moto G85 5G: Impending Motorola smartphone tipped to offer decent RAM and storage options for mid-range price

The Moto G85 5G has been released as the next alleged Motorola smartphone for the Indian and European markets - even though its predecessor has been on the market for much less than a year. However, there are early signs that it will be replaced by a device capable of delivering some of the same core specs for roughly the same amount of money.

The Moto G84 5G has been available on Amazon in Germany and India since September 2023 in multiple color SKUs, one of which is Pantone-certified to be Viva Magenta; however, a retailer is getting ready to list its successor already, according to a new leak.

The new tip apparently indicates that the "MOTO G85 5G" will go for €300 (~$328) in Europe: not much of a change from the G84 that started at €299. Its upgrade is described as having the same 128GB and 256GB internal storage options, both of which have 12GB of RAM.

The former is the one that goes at the "Moto G85's" base price, presumably. No other specs for the apparently upcoming mid-ranger are available to date, although its predecessor also had a 6.55-inch 120Hz pOLED display, albeit one driven by a last-gen Snapdragon SoC. Hopefully, its apparently imminent replacement can do better in that regard.
