Last month, a German publication (TecknikNews) broke news about the existence of a Motorola phone codenamed as Kiev. The same publication revealed yesterday that this phone will break cover as the Motorola Moto G 5G. The name suggests that it will be an inferior version of the Moto G 5G Plus (available as Motorola One 5G in the U.S.) that debuted in July. Equal Leaks telegram channel has shared a live shot of the smartphone to reveal its front design.

The live shot shows that the Moto G 5G aka Kiev has a tall aspect ratio display with top-center selfie camera cutout. The leak claims that the smartphone features an AMOLED HDR display that supports 1080 x 2400 pixels. Previous leaks have claimed that the Kiev is powered by the Snapdragon 690 5G chipset. Strangely, the new leak tells it has Snapdragon 765Gv, which seems to be incorrect.

The leak further states that the device has 128 GB of UFS 2.1 storage, and it is packed with a 5,000mAh battery. It has a quad-camera setup that is lead by a 48-megapixel primary lens. The camera leak also contradicts with previous that said that the Kiev phone has a 48-megapixel triple camera system. The leak concludes by saying that the phone will launch globally.

Back in September, a Motorola smartphone codenamed ‘kiev’ leaked in full glory revealing its primary specifications and model numbers. Now, more than a month later, the same source has confirmed it to launch as ‘Motorola Moto G 5G’. It is expected to debut alongside the Moto G9 Power as a watered-down version of Moto G 5G Plus.

The Moto G 5G aka Motorola Kiev is a compelling device. It is an upcoming budget 5G smartphone powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 690 paired with 6GB RAM and 128GB internal storage. This chipset is found inside the recently launched OnePlus Nord N10 5G.

What’s more interesting is unlike the OnePlus handset which has a 90Hz LCD panel, this phone will come equipped with an FHD OLED display but only with a 60Hz refresh rate. However, the size of its screen is still a mystery just like whether it will have a notch or punch-hole.

That said, it will sport a triple camera setup consisting of a 48MP Samsung GM1 primary sensor, an 8MP Samsung S5K4H7 sensor with a telephoto lens, and a 2MP OmniVision OV02B10 depth sensor. For selfies, the device will make use of a 16MP OmniVision OV16A1Q sensor.

Last but not least, the Motorola Moto G 5G will feature a microSD card slot, NFC for contactless payments, Android 10 operating system, and will be available in two variants – XT2113-2 & XT2113-3.
