What do we know about the Moto S50 Neo thus far?
If the Moto S50 Neo is a rebranded version of the Moto G85 5G, its specifications should be similar. It is said to have a 6.6-inch FHD+ OLED curved display with a refresh rate of 120Hz and an in-screen fingerprint sensor. In comparison, the Moto G84 featured a smaller 6.55-inch display.
The handset is said to have a 5,000mAh battery with 33W fast charging capabilities. This is the same arrangement as on the Moto G84. The Moto G85 is believed to be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 SoC, as opposed to the Snapdragon 695 SoC on the Moto G84. It is likely to boot Android 14 right out of the box.
The Moto S50 Neo is also expected to include a 50MP Sony IMX882 OIS-enabled primary camera and an 8MP ultra-wide sensor with an f/2.2 aperture. Again, the layout is comparable to the Moto G84. We get a 32MP front-facing camera for selfies.
