Motorola’s next low-cost mid-ranger gets a full spec sheet and price tag leaked

By Scott Marlette Last updated Feb 17, 2022

By its own standards set over the last couple of years, Motorola has started 2022 on a relatively quiet note as far as new product launches are concerned, announcing the latest addition to the popular Moto G Stylus mid-end lineup earlier this month and nothing else.

Unsurprisingly, that’s likely to change very soon, with a global Edge 30 Pro equivalent of the China-only Edge X30 powerhouse widely expected to finally go official this time next week and a bona fide avalanche of new mid-rangers and high-enders possibly taking place… at some point this spring.

While Android power users might be paying more attention to the under-display camera-sporting “Rogue” than anything else Evan Blass leaked just last week in press-friendly renders, cash-strapped consumers will undoubtedly show some interest in the Moto G22 as well.

Based on that name alone, you can easily guess this thing will follow in the budget-conscious footsteps of last year’s Moto G20, which for some reason never got a G21 sequel. If Nils Ahrensmeier, who is usually very reliable about this type of stuff, once again proves accurate in predicting the G22 will adopt the design Blass recently leaked under the “Hawaii+” codename, the G20’s outdated notch shall make way for a more modern hole punch display.

But Ahrensmeier expects the Moto G22 to come with a fairly modest 90Hz 6.5-inch IPS LCD screen in tow carrying a resolution of 1600 x 720 pixels, which contradicts the OLED Hawaii+ “evleak.” Otherwise put, we’re not entirely sure this ultra-affordable mid-ranger will look quite as sleek as the above render suggests, so you may not want to get too excited just yet on that particular front.

The rest of the information revealed today could well prove to be true either way, though, including the following key specs:

MediaTek Helio G37 processor
4G LTE connectivity
Up to 4GB RAM and 64GB storage space
50MP primary rear-facing camera with f/1.8 aperture
8MP secondary ultra-wide-angle shooter with f/2.2 aperture
2MP macro/depth sensor
Single 16MP front camera with f/2.45 aperture
5,000mAh battery
185 grams weight
MicroSD support
Android 12 software pre-installed

By no means an impressive list of features, that should be enough to convince a reasonable number of European bargain hunters to spend around €200 on the non-5G-enabled Moto G22. The main shooter on the phone’s back, the hefty battery, and the modern software in particular sound like big strengths and key selling points over many potential future rivals.

Unfortunately, if the availability history of the G20, G30, or G31 is anything to go by, we’ll probably never see this G22 model officially released in the US either, so there’s really no point speculating how the aforementioned European price tag would translate stateside.
