Motorola Moto G85 shown in first render images with modernised design and new display

Tool Junction has unveiled the first render images of the Moto G85, shortly after the same device appeared on Geekbench and in a European retailer listing. While the render images do not reveal many device specifications, they do showcase a few design changes from last year's Moto G84 (curr. $229.99 on Amazon). In short, these changes make the Moto G85 look more like the new Edge 50 Fusion than its direct predecessor.

On the one hand, Motorola has equipped the Moto G85 with a curved display, unlike any other recent Moto G devices. Additionally, the new display boasts more rounded edges than those on the Moto G84, which contribute to the appearance of narrow bezels. The same is true of the display's curved finish too, which help to mask the thickness of the Moto G85's side bezels. The lack of an obvious side-mounted fingerprint scanner implies that the Moto G85 finds itself with an OLED panel, presumably Motorola's favoured P-OLED type.

Moreover, the render images confirm that Motorola has included two rear-facing cameras, of which one its primary is backed by a 50 MP sensor. Like the Moto G84 before it, the Moto G85 complements its 50 MP primary camera with optical image stabilisation (OIS). Although Motorola's inscription also suggests a sensor with 1.55 µm wide pixels, this is likely only achievable by reducing the 50 MP output to 12.5 MP using 4-in-1 pixel binning. Currently, Motorola is expected to offer the Moto G85 for approximately €300 with Qualcomm's unreleased Snapdragon 4 Gen 3 chipset. However, a release date has not leaked yet.
