Motorola brought the budget 5G phone Moto G 5G under ₹20,000(incl. Discount) in India last year. Later, brands like Xiaomi and now realme have started to slowly flood the market with 5G mid-range devices. That said, a new tip by Mukul Sharma hints that Motorola might bring a 5G budget device soon to India.

According to a Tweet by Mukul, Motorola will launch a budget 5G device soon. Now, considering he is mentioning ‘budget’ here explicitly, we can expect the pricing to be below the already-selling Motorola Moto G 5G. Talking about the device, he says it could be the Motorola Ibiza that has been appearing on leaks recently.

In case you aren’t aware, Techniknew revealed a Motorola device with the codename ‘Ibiza’ in the works and will debut in Q1 of 2021. Later, the device passed through Wi-Fi Alliance certification having the same model number XT2137 as leaked before. This device is expected to be a 5G phone with Snapdragon 480 chipset.

To affirm the rumors, it appeared on Geekbench today carrying 6GB RAM, and running Android 11. Anyway, Mukul says that the device will also feature a 90Hz IPS LCD display. Considering it’s a budget device, it could also have an HD+ resolution but that isn’t confirmed yet.

Regarding the launch, the tipster feels that Motorola will most likely unveil it this month i.,e February 2021. Regarding the naming, a recent Tip by Techniknews also hints that Ibiza/Denver could be ‘Moto G40’. Since this isn’t confirmed yet, let’s take it with a pinch of salt.

Apart from Motorola ‘Ibiza’, the company will also launch a device codenamed ‘Capri’ soon in India. Accordingly, the device has cleared BIS certification.

In January this year, a German publication Technik News had revealed the codenames of upcoming Motorola phones which include Nio, Capri, and Ibiza, all expected to debut in Q1 2021. While Nio is an upcoming Snapdragon 865 mobile platform powered smartphone, the Capri and Capri Plus are expected to debut as 4G midranges. The Motorola Iniza smartphone is tipped to feature a Snapdragon 400-series 5G chipset.

A  Motorola phone believed to be the Ibiza has been spotted on the database of GeekBench. The device appears with the model number XT2137-2 and carries the Ibiza codename as the motherboard.

The phone is listed as running the latest Android 11 and is powered by an Octa-core Qualcomm processor. The processor is believed to be the Snapdragon 480 chipset which is Qualcomm’s cheapest 5G chipset. At the moment, only Vivo Y31s and Oppo A93 5G have been launched with the budget 5G SoC. The processor on the Ibiza model is paired with 6GB of RAM.

On the test score, Motorola Ibiza managed 2,466 points in the single-core test run and 6,223 points in the multi-core test. Keep in mind that this test was done on Gekbench 4.

Earlier this month, certain specs of a Motorola smartphone codenamed ‘Ibiza’ leaked. The parameters of this device suggested it to be a budget 5G handset. Now, a couple of weeks later, this phone has been also certified by WiFi Alliance.

The upcoming Motorola Ibiza smartphone is expected to come with model number XT2137. Ahead of its launch, this phone has been now spotted on WiFi Alliance. According to the listing, it will launch with Android 11, which we already know.  In other words, the WiFi certification does not reveal anything new, except for the fact that it may launch soon.

According to the leak from early January, the Motorola Ibiza aka Motorola XT2137 will be powered by Qualcomm SM4350 chipset codenamed ‘Holi’. This silicon is nothing but the Snapdragon 480 SoC that went official around two days after this leak.
