Back in the last month, Motorola introduced the Moto G 5G, the second smartphone in the G series to come with fifth-gen network support. The device reached Europe as the cheapest 5G smartphone available. There are plenty of affordable 5G phones in China, but so far none has made way to Europe. Motorola teased the Moto G 5G arrival in India last week, and today the device is finally official in the country. The handset will retail for INR 20,999 ($204) and actual sales will start on December 7. Worth noting that HDFC bank card owners can get an additional INR 1,000 discount.

On the rear, we also have the traditional Motorola logo that also doubles as a fingerprint scanner. The phone draws power from a 5,000mAh battery that charges over a USB-C port with a 20W fast-chargin. This isn’t the fastest standard available but still is better than the 10W of the Moto E7 series. The phone comes with a vanilla-like Android 10 build. Despite the use of a vanilla Android with a few small changes, Motorola couldn’t ship this phone with Android 11.
