Forgotten Android brand launches new phone with a bigger battery than iPhone and it only costs £270
MOTOROLA has launched a new mega-tough smartphone – and it won’t break the bank either.
The noughties brand, famous for its “Hello Moto” motto, has been quietly focusing on budget handsets in recent years.
Over the summer, Motorola released the Moto G35 5G and Moto Edge 50.
Now the company has taken the wraps off another device, called the Moto G75 5G.
And the standout feature is its military-grade durability, meaning it can “handle life’s highs and lows” according to Motorola.
The firm claims the handset can withstand situations such as sudden drops up to 1.2 metres, extreme weather conditions, temperatures, and even pressure changes.
There’s so-called Water Touch technology as well, so users can still use their phone after swimming or during a rainstorm.
But aside from this, the battery is also noteworthy, coming in technically larger than the iPhone 16 Pro Max.
Motorola says the 5000mAh battery should give you approximately 36 hours of battery life on a single charge.
And if you use their 30W TurboPower (sold separately) it’s claimed you can can get 50 percent battery in less than 25 minutes.
The Moto G75 5G sports a 6.78-inch Full HD+, which is LCD instead of the better quality OLED.
You can get up to 256GB storage – expandable with an SD card – and 8GB RAM.
As for the camera, it has a 50-megapixel main camera sensor with an 8-megapixel ultra-wide, as well as a 16-megapixel selfie camera on the front.
It runs on Android 14, the operating system released by Google last year.
And the best part is the price – it starts from £269.99.
There are three colours available:
- Charcoal Grey
- Aqua Blue
- Succulent Green
The Moto G75 5G goes on sale mid-October.
