Motorola seems all set to launch its next budget smartphone, the Moto G06. Leaked renders, specifications, and pricing details have surfaced online ahead of the expected launch, giving us a detailed look at what to expect. The G06 will succeed the Moto G05, which debuted in India back in January. If the pattern holds, we could see the G06 hit Indian shores in early 2026.
Display & Design
The Motorola G06 is expected to feature a large 6.88-inch HD+ LCD display with a 120Hz refresh rate. The screen resolution is said to be 720×1,640 pixels, with a pixel density of 260ppi. It will likely come protected with Gorilla Glass 3. While the screen may not be full-HD, the high refresh rate is a welcome touch in this budget segment.
The design shown in leaked renders includes a teardrop notch, a noticeably thick chin, and a dual-camera setup housed in a rectangular module. The back panel features the Motorola logo at the center, and the device is said to be offered in three colours: Arabesque, Tapestry, and Tendril.
The G06 is also expected to be IP64-rated for dust and splash resistance, which gives it a small durability edge in its segment.
Performance
Under the hood, the Moto G06 will reportedly be powered by the MediaTek Helio G81 Extreme chipset. This octa-core SoC is designed for budget and mid-tier smartphones and should offer decent performance for everyday use and light gaming.
The base model is expected to come with 4GB RAM and 64GB internal storage, while a top-end variant may offer up to 256GB of storage. Both variants are expected to support microSD card expansion.
The phone will likely ship with Android 15, making it one of the first budget phones in India to launch with Google’s latest OS. Expect near-stock UI and regular security updates — something Motorola has stuck with in its G-series phones.
Camera
Camera-wise, the G06 is expected to feature a 50-megapixel primary rear sensor with autofocus, paired with a secondary flicker sensor. On the front, there may be an 8-megapixel selfie shooter placed inside the teardrop notch.
Camera modes and software features are not confirmed yet, but you can expect basic options like Portrait, Night, and Panorama to be available.
| Camera Specs | Details |
|---|---|
| Rear Camera | 50MP + flicker sensor |
| Front Camera | 8MP |
| Autofocus | Yes |
| Flash | LED |
| Video Recording | Expected Full-HD at 30fps |
Battery & Charging
The G06 was spotted earlier with a 5,100mAh battery, but newer leaks suggest a slightly larger 5,200mAh battery will make it to the final version. It will reportedly support 10W wired charging, which is basic but expected for the price point.
That should be enough for a full day’s use, considering the phone’s power-efficient chipset and HD+ screen.
Dimensions & Build
The expected dimensions of the Motorola G06 are 171.35×77.5×8.31mm, with a weight of around 194 grams. The side-mounted fingerprint sensor is expected to double as the power button, while volume keys will sit just above it on the right.
Expected Price
The Motorola G06 was recently listed on a European retailer’s site. Pricing leaked suggests the following:
| Variant | Price (EUR) | Approx. Price (INR) |
|---|---|---|
| 4GB + 64GB | €119 | Rs. 12,300 |
| 4GB + 256GB | €169 | Rs. 17,400 |
However, considering Motorola’s Indian pricing strategy with the G05, which launched at Rs. 6,999, we can expect the G06 to start between Rs. 7,999 to Rs. 9,499 for the base variant in India when it eventually launches.
With the Helio G81 Extreme processor, 120Hz refresh rate, Android 15, and a 50MP camera, the Motorola G06 is shaping up to be a capable budget phone. It may not wow you with high-end specs, but for everyday users who need a reliable phone with a clean interface, the G06 could hit the right notes when it launches — most likely early next year.
