The new Moto phone has a 50MP primary camera with OIS, an 8MP ultra-wide angle lens, and a depth camera. There’s a 32MP front camera for selfies and video calls. On the software front, the Moto G85 runs Android 14-based My UX custom skin out of the box. It also packs a 5,000mAh battery with 30W turbocharging. The Moto G85 also comes with an in-display fingerprint sensor, stereo speakers, Dolby Atmos, and an IP54 rating for dust and water resistance.

The Moto G85 will succeed the Moto G84 launched in India last year in September. It’s a mid-range phone priced at Rs 19,999 so the Moto G85 is also expected to cost somewhere around the same. If we talk about upgrades, we’re getting a larger 6.67-inch display compared to the 6.55-inch on the Moto G84. The chipset has been changed from the Snapdragon 695 to the Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 although this doesn’t seem like a upgrade.

The front camera has been upgraded from a 16MP to a 32MP on the Moto G85. The rest of the specifications are more or less the same.
