UPDATE 29.10/XNUMX: Marketing name
As we have just learned, “Kiev” will be launched on the market as “Motorola Moto g 5G” (without a plus). This is a stripped-down version of the Moto g 5G Plus, which was launched in July. The device could work with the Moto g 9 power appear later this year. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 690G is also used instead of the Snapdragon 5 750G. This was not yet published at the time of the original date.
The original article from 11.9/XNUMX: The Motorola “Kiev” will be a budget smartphone with 5G connectivity. It will be one of the first smartphones to use the new Snapdragon 690 5G from Qualcomm, which is supported by 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage. We can also confirm that the smartphone will support NFC and that the internal memory can be expanded using an SD card.
An OLED panel may be used as the display, but 100% with full HD resolution and 60Hz. We do not yet know the exact size of this. The display also supports HDR. It will be interesting for all music fans: The device will support Qualcomm aptX.
Motorola Kiev: 4 cameras in the budget device
The device will have a total of 4 cameras.
main camera | 48MP (pixel binning 12MP) f / 1.7 | Samsung GM1 |
Telephoto camera | 8 (7.9) MP f / 2.2 | Samsung S5K4H7 |
Depth information | 2 (1,9) MP f / 2.2 | OmniVision OV02B10 |
Selfie camera | 16MP (pixel binning 4MP) | OmniVision OV16A1Q (known from the Redmi Note 9 Pro) |
There is not much to say about these cameras as the sensors do not have any special features. They should be sufficient for everyday photography, but I am missing an ultra-wide-angle camera in the device. The Samsung sensor is already known, for example from the Oppo A71 or the Xiaomi Redmi Note 8T. The OmniVision selfie camera also from the Redmi Note 9 Pro.
Further information
The device is delivered with Android 10, unfortunately Android 11 is not yet used. We also have the model numbers: XT2113-2, XT2113-3. We still have to wait for an exact release period, along with a price. We also have no information on the design of the device, but there will definitely be a notch. Like us Zachary wander could confirm, there will be either a punch hole or a so-called "teardrop notch".
