After releasing the Moto G84 5G smartphone in Australia in November 2023, Motorola is currently getting ready to release the Moto G85 5G, its successor.
A European retailer’s website has listed the smartphone, indicating that a launch date may be approaching.
The listing indicates that the 12GB / 256GB version costs approximately €300 (about A$487).
ChannelNews has inquired about availability and pricing in Australia.
The Moto G84 5G retails for A$399 in Australia and can be purchased through JB Hi-Fi and the official Motorola website. A$449 is the pricing on JB Hi-Fi.
Although this smartphone hasn’t been formally revealed by Motorola, it appears on the listing and could be released in the second half of 2024.
A 6.55-inch FHD+ pOLED display with a refresh rate of 120Hz and a maximum brightness of 1300nits is included with the predecessor.
