Motorola Moto G50 5G with Dimensity 700 goes official

A new Motorola smartphone launched in Australia earlier today – the Moto G50 5G. The phone shares plenty of similarities with the Moto G50 launched in March though the new model is powered by MediaTek’s Dimensity 700 chipset instead of the Snapdragon 480. The rest of the core specs are quite similar across the board save for the cameras and fingerprint sensor placement.
