What’s the Next Phone Motorola is Expected to Launch?

Leaked renders from August have revealed a familiar design for the Moto G Power 5G (2025). The device is expected to sport a square camera module on the back with an LED flash and Motorola’s signature dimple. The right edge will house the volume rocker and power button. The front of the device will feature a centrally placed punch-hole cutout for the selfie camera, with flat edges and reasonably slim bezels. The renders have showcased the phone in an attractive purple color, which could appeal to users looking for a stylish option in the mid-range segment.

The Moto G Power 5G (2025) has surfaced on several certification platforms recently, including the FCC, TUV Rheinland, and UL Demko. According to the FCC listing, this device will carry the model number XT2515-1, with additional regional variants labeled XT2515-2, XT2515-3, and XT2515V. These models are likely tailored for different markets, though the certifications confirm no notable differences in specifications among them. While the Moto G Power 5G (2024) was limited to North American markets, the expanded model lineup suggests the 2025 version might target a broader global audience.

The Moto G Power 5G (2025) will feature a battery model labeled RW50 with a 4850mAh rated capacity (5000mAh typical), identical to its predecessor. While the capacity remains the same, Motorola might introduce a more efficient chipset to potentially enhance the overall battery performance. This improvement could extend usage time without the need for a larger battery.

The FCC listing confirms a comprehensive range of connectivity features, including 5G support, 4G LTE, dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4GHz and 5GHz), Bluetooth BR/EDR/LE, and NFC. The device is also expected to support GNSS, FM radio, and Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) capabilities.

Speaking of charging, UL Demko’s certification lists a 20W charger for the Moto G Power 5G (2025). Although slightly slower than the 30W wired charging supported by the 2024 model, the 2025 version retains wireless charging support. This makes the device versatile, offering both decent wired and wireless charging options, although users looking for ultra-fast charging might find the 20W speed modest.

Beyond the Moto G series, Motorola is pushing boundaries with innovative technologies. A recent patent filing reveals a concept for a rollable display smartphone with an integrated full-screen fingerprint sensor. This new patent builds on the Moto Rizr rollable concept phone, showcased in 2023, which featured a flexible display that could extend from 5 inches to 6.5 inches. Now, Motorola aims to elevate the user experience with a full-screen fingerprint sensor, allowing users to unlock the device from any part of the display.

This patent showcases Motorola’s commitment to developing devices that merge convenience and flexibility. While there’s no guarantee this concept will hit the market soon, the possibility of a rollable phone with all-screen fingerprint sensing highlights Motorola’s dedication to innovative design.

Looking forward, Motorola is expected to continue expanding its G series in 2025, with models like the Moto G 5G, Moto G Stylus 5G, Moto G45 5G, and Moto G64 5G.
