After its European launch in November, Motorola announced the Indian release date of their budget 5G offering, the Moto G51, via a video on Twitter. The video featured the first looks of the smartphone, its two color variants, and the confirmed release date of December 10th.
So what can we expect from the Moto G51?
Design & Display
The release announcement video shows that the Moto G51 is identical to the Chinese and European variants and, therefore, will host an oval-shaped triple camera module in the top left corner with a Motorola branding in the center.
In the front, the device will feature a 6.8 inch IPS LCD HD+ display that offers a 120Hz refresh rate and 240Hz touch sampling rate for a smoother user experience. The front camera is present in the center as a punch-hole cutout.
Cameras
The Moto G51 is expected to host a triple camera setup with a 50 megapixel Samsung ISOCELL S5KJN1 primary sensor, an 8-megapixel ultrawide lens, and a 2-megapixel microsensor. The phone will also feature an LED flash for illumination and is expected to support 1080p video recording at 30, 60, and 240 frames per second. The device may host a 13-megapixel or a 16-megapixel selfie snapper on the front.
Performance
The device is expected to house a Qualcomm Snapdragon 480+ SoC paired with up to 8GB RAM and 128GB of UFS 2.2 storage, which can be further expanded via a microSD card slot, while its RAM can also be virtually expanded by up to 3GB as well. The device will feature a 5,000mAh battery pack with 10W charging support. Other features include 5G support of up to 12 bands, Android 11, a fingerprint scanner on the rear, Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth v5.2, GPS, a USB Type C port, and a 3.5mm headphone jack.
Variants, pricing, and availability
The Moto G51 is expected to arrive in India with multiple memory configurations ranging from 4GB + 64GB to 8GB + 128 GB. Industry sources have reported the Moto M51 to be priced under Rs 20,000 ($265), which can go further down for the lower memory configuration models. The phone will be available starting December 10th through the e-commerce website Flipkart in India and will be offered in two color variants, namely Indigo Blue and Bright Silver.
