Motorola is gearing up to refresh its mid-range portfolio with the upcoming Moto G56 5G, the follow-up to last year’s Moto G55 5G. Thanks to a new leak from Evan Blass, we’ve got a full preview—from specs and design to expected pricing.
This latest Moto model looks poised to offer solid performance without breaking the bank.

Display
The Moto G56 5G is expected to sport a 6.72-inch LCD panel with a Full HD+ resolution of 2400×1080 pixels. A 120Hz refresh rate should ensure smoother scrolling and gameplay, while peak brightness may hit up to 1000 nits for better visibility in bright conditions. Gorilla Glass 7i could be used for added screen durability.
Processor
Under the hood, Motorola might debut the MediaTek Dimensity 7060 chip—a new SoC built on a 6nm process. It’s rumored to pack two Cortex-A78 performance cores at 2.6GHz and six Cortex-A55 efficiency cores at 2GHz, paired with an IMG BXM-8-256 GPU. It should offer a mild but welcome upgrade over the Dimensity 7025 found in the G55.
Memory
The phone is likely to arrive in two configurations: 4GB or 8GB of LPDDR4x RAM, with either 128GB or 256GB of UFS 2.2 storage. A hybrid SIM slot is also expected, supporting microSD cards up to 2TB—plenty of space for apps, photos, and videos.
Software
On the software side, the Moto G56 5G is set to ship with Android 15 layered with Motorola’s Hello UI. The base model might get one OS update and three years of security patches, while the higher variant could see two major updates and four years of security support—decent longevity for a mid-range device.
Cameras
Camera-wise, the rear setup may include a 50MP Sony LYT-600 main sensor paired with an 8MP ultrawide lens. Up front, a 32MP selfie camera is expected—a notable upgrade in this price bracket. It’s shaping up to be a reliable choice for both casual photography and video calling.
Battery
Fueling the device could be a 5200mAh battery with support for 33W wired fast charging. That should be enough to comfortably get users through a full day and top up quickly when needed.
Features
Additional features might include a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos support, and modern connectivity like USB-C, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.3, and NFC (in select regions). The 3.5mm headphone jack may be gone, but the IP69 rating adds durability many budget phones skip.
Design
In terms of size, the Moto G56 5G could measure 165.75 x 76.26 x 8.35mm and weigh around 200g, making it a bit heftier than the G55. The back might sport a fresh squircle-shaped camera module with four cutouts—though only two are functional—which lends it a modern edge.
Colours
The device is said to come in four Pantone-approved shades: Pantone Black Oyster, Pantone Grey Mist, Pantone Dazzling Blue, and Pantone Dill. This palette mixes bold and subtle tones, giving users a bit more personality in their phone choice.
Price
Globally, the phone may be priced around €250 (approximately ₹24,000) for the 8GB + 256GB variant. While the Moto G55 didn’t make it to India, early signs suggest the G56 may follow the same path. A launch could come sooner than last year’s August release, though no official date has been confirmed.
All things considered, the Moto G56 5G is shaping up to be a balanced and feature-rich option in the mid-range segment. If priced right, it could hit a sweet spot for buyers who want value without making too many compromises.
