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.

Motorola already launched a phone called the Moto G50 earlier this year. The 5G phone was first launched in Europe in March before heading to China in April. Now, Motorola is planning to announce another model which it is calling the Moto G50 5G with slightly different specs.

The renders of the phone leaked earlier, and they show a largely unchanged design save for the rear cameras that are now in a square housing. Another design change is the fingerprint scanner which is now on the side, doubling as a power button. The model that launched earlier this year has its scanner on the back.

With respect to the specifications revealed by Steve Hemmerstoffer in collaboration with Pricebaba, the Moto G50 5G codenamed Saipan will have a 6.5-inch 1600 x 720 display with a waterdrop notch. The front-facing camera is a 13MP sensor, carried over from its sibling.

Motorola has swapped the Snapdragon 480 5G for MediaTek’s Dimensity 700 chipset. There is 4GB of RAM and 64GB of expandable storage. The primary rear camera remains a 48MP sensor but the specs of the other two sensors were not disclosed. The Moto G50 5G will also have NFC, an audio jack, and be available in two colors dubbed Iron and Cosmo. It should run Android 11 out of the box.

There is no info yet about a launch date but it should not be far off and most likely won’t be a big announcement.
