Motorola has today launched the next generation Moto G series phones starting with 5 new models. Two of these new models offer large, high refresh rate LCDs, the other three prefer smaller OLED displays. All five models have 5,000 mAh batteries, though they support different charging rates.

Motorola Moto G200
The Moto G200 is the successor to the G100. The phone is powered by Qualcomm’s current best offering – the Snapdragon 888+.
Compared to the G100, the new model has the slightly larger 6.8” LCD that runs at 144Hz refresh rate (up from 90Hz). Few devices outside of gaming phones can match that and this one flaunts one of the best GPUs for Android. The display also has an HDR10 certification and supports the DCI-P3 color space
Back to the chipset, it is paired with 8GB of fast LPDDR5 RAM and 128/256 GB UFS 3.1 storage. This performance can also be put to work using Ready For, Motorola’s desktop mode.
The last major upgrade is the camera department. The main module features a 108MP sensor that boasts 2.1 µm effective pixel size when using 9-in-1 binning and 8K video capture (plus a 960 fps slow-motion mode). Next to it is a 13MP ultra wide-angle camera with autofocus, which doubles as a macro camera, plus a depth sensor. On the front is a 16MP selfie camera.
The phone is powered by a 5,000 mAh battery that supports 33W fast charging (Moto says that 15 minutes of charging is enough juice to last you to the whole day). The frame and back are made out of plastic, though Motorola tried to glam things up with metallic paint on the frame and a matte finish on the back, plus basic water resistance (IP52).
