Motorola has launched the Moto G96 5G in India featuring a 6.67-inch 144Hz curved pOLED display, Snapdragon 7s Gen 2, IP68 rating, and 5500mAh battery starting at ₹17,999. Here’s everything you need to know.
Motorola has officially launched the moto g96 5G in India, expanding its popular G-series lineup with a stylish mid-range option. The smartphone brings together a curved pOLED display, high refresh rate, and IP68 rating — all at a starting price of ₹17,999, making it one of the most feature-rich phones in its price segment.
The moto g96 5G sports a 6.67-inch Full HD+ curved pOLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate and HDR10+ support. Motorola claims the panel can reach a peak brightness of 1600 nits, and the display is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 5, making it suitable for outdoor use and minor drops.
Under the hood, it runs on the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 processor, paired with 8GB RAM and up to 256GB of UFS 2.2 storage. Motorola is promising three major Android OS updates and four years of security patches, with the device shipping out of the box with Android 15.
On the imaging front, the g96 5G features a 50MP primary rear camera with the Sony LYT-700C sensor and OIS for improved low-light and video stability. An 8MP ultra-wide lens also doubles as a macro shooter, and a 32MP front camera with Quad Pixel technology handles selfies and video calls.
A key highlight is the phone’s IP68 rating, offering protection against dust and water — a rare feature at this price point. The device is also equipped with stereo speakers, Dolby Atmos, and an in-display fingerprint scanner for added convenience.
Powering the moto g96 5G is a 5500mAh battery, backed by 68W TurboPower fast charging, which Motorola says will deliver long-lasting usage and quick top-ups.
