Motorola has launched the first flagship G-series smartphone – the Moto G100. Actually,  it’s not a new phone per se, but a rebranded version of the Moto Edge S that was launched in China a few weeks ago. The latest Motorola offering packs a flagship Qualcomm SoC (by 2020 standards, that is), a total of six cameras, a high refresh rate panel, and a large-ish 5,000mAh battery. The device is priced at €499.99 and is now available in select European and Latin American countries starting today. 

Coming to the internal hardware, the Moto G100 offers a 6.7-inch FHD+ (2520 x 1080 pixels display with an 85% screen-to-body ratio and 90Hz refresh rate. However, this is an LCD panel, and not an OLED panel. There are two circular hole-punch cutouts on the front. As for color options, you can choose between Iridescent Ocean and Iridescent Sky. 

Inside, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 SoC – which is essentially a rehashed version of last year’s Snapdragon 865 SoC – keeps things running. The Moto G100 pairs the new-ish SoC with 8 gigs of LPDDR5 RAM and 128GB of onboard storage. Notably, the onboard storage can be expanded via a microSD card of up to 1TB capacity. 

Coming to the camera hardware of Moto G100, you get a 64MP primary camera that can capture 6K videos at up to 30FPS and 4K videos at up to 60FPS. There is a 16MP ultra-wide-angle camera, a 2MP depth camera, and a ToF laser autofocus sensor as well. The dual-camera setup on the front includes a 16MP main snapper and an 8MP ultra-wide lens. 

Moto G100 comes equipped with a 5,000mAh battery that supports 20W fast charging. Notably, the Motorola budget phone retains the 3.5mm headphone jack. Android 11 handles things on the software side, with support for Ready For feature that arrived on the Motorola Edge+ as well earlier this month. For authentication, the Moto G100 offers a fingerprint sensor embedded in the power button.
