In India, Motorola has recently introduced Moto G96 5G as a new gadget in the mid-range of handsets. The device is loaded with features considering the cost-effective price, and therefore, it is a good proposition in the budget market below the 20,000 category. The Moto G96 5G features a sleek design, colorful display, and good performance that is expected to provide a high-quality experience at a pocket-friendly rate.
The phone comes with a 6.67-inch Full HD+ pOLED display with a 144 Hz refresh rate, giving a smooth experience of scrolling and gaming. The 3D curved screen provides high-vivid colored images having a 10-bit color depth and 100 percent DCI-P3 coverage, which is ideal for watching a video or playing a game. It can go as high as 1,600 nits, so it is very clear to read even with strong sunlight. This display comes with Corning Gorilla Glass 5 and its Smart Water Touch feature, which means it can be used when the fingers are wet. Besides, the phone is IP68-rated, and this enables it to deal with dust and water, an unusual characteristic within this budget range.
The Moto G96 5G has a 6.6-inch display with a 120 Hz refresh rate, along with 8 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of internal storage, running the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 processor.

The phone is secure and continually updated, with a one-year guarantee of OS upgrades and three years of security updates. It also has Dolby Atmos and Hi-Res Audio stereo speakers, with two speakers. It plays music and movies in rich sound.
Another standoutis the camera setup. It has a 50MP Sony Lytia 700C main camera with optical image stabilization, which takes clear details of photos, and the camera performs well in low-light conditions. Versatility is achieved by an 8MP ultrawide lens doubling up as a macro and a depth sensor. Its 32MP selfie camera can record videos in 4K, which is a high quality even when taking selfies or communicating with video calls. Tools such as Magic Eraser and Photo Unblur make your photos more attractive with the help of AI.
Moto G96 5G packs a large and long-lasting battery of 5,500 mAh and supports fast charging of 33 W, allowing you to power the phone longer and fast charging to last.

Scheduled sales begin July 16 and will be available via the Flipkart e-store, Motorola webstore, and offline stores such as Reliance Digital.
A high-refresh-rate display, good performance, and a decent camera system make this smartphone one of the best options when buying it on a tight budget with a desire to receive premium features.
