If there is one thing about Motorola and its naming convention, it is confusing. In March this year, the company announced the Moto G50 5G which bears the codename “Ibiza”. Right now, another smartphone dubbed Moto G50 (5G) codenamed “Saipan” is reportedly in the works. The smartphone has been spotted on the database of benchmarking outfit GeekBench.
Earlier last week renders of the upcoming G50 (5G) codenamed Saipan had leaked revealing the entire design. The GeekBench appearance gives us an idea of some of the key specifications. According to GeekBench, the Moto G50 5G (Saipan) will run on Android 11 OS and will have 4GB of RAM. We expect other RAM options to be available. The G50 (5G) will be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 700 chipset.
While GeekBench details are usually scanty, earlier rumors tip the G50 5G (Saipan) to feature a 6.5-inch HD+ display and will have a 64GB storage option. The device will pack a 48MP triple camera setup at the rear as well as a 13MP selfie camera housed under the waterdrop notch. The phone will also come with NFC support and has a 3.5mm audio jack.
In addition, Brazil’s Anatel listing also shows the G50 5G (Saipan) will cram a decent 4,700 mAh battery under the hood. The phone will also have a side-mounted fingerprint scanner and will charge via a USB-C port.
There is no word yet on when the device will launch but we expect Motorola to reveal the launch date soon.
