New Moto G: Same Guts, Bold New Pink!
24 Mar
Summary
- The 2026 Moto G boasts a vibrant Cattleya Orchid pink finish.
- It retains the same MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chipset as last year.
- Battery life lasts up to 24 hours of continuous YouTube streaming.
The 2026 iteration of Motorola's Moto G smartphone closely mirrors its predecessor, adhering to a "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" philosophy. This refresh introduces a distinctive Cattleya Orchid pink finish, a significant departure from the muted Forest Gray of the 2025 model, and retains the beloved headphone jack.
The device features a 6.7-inch HD+ display with a 120Hz refresh rate, offering bright colors and smooth visuals. Audio is enhanced by Dolby Atmos-tuned speakers, providing an immersive experience for media consumption.
Photography sees an upgrade with a dual-camera system, now featuring a 50MP main lens and a 2MP ultrawide. Color saturation issues from previous models have been largely resolved, and low-light performance is improved.
Under the hood, the Moto G uses the same MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chipset, offering seamless multitasking for everyday use. However, it still struggles with graphically intensive games, a carry-over limitation from the previous model.
Battery performance remains a strong suit, delivering up to 24 hours of continuous use in testing, though shy of the advertised two days. Priced at $200, the 2026 Moto G is positioned as a reliable budget to mid-range option, especially for those drawn to its vibrant new color.
