The 2026 moto g Lineup Offers Big Batteries, More Affordable 5G

Tue, 04 Nov 2025 14:00:00 GMT

Motorola today announced the moto g 2026 and moto g play 2026. The moto g 2026 is a minor update to the 2025 model, with the headline upgrade being a 5,200 mAh battery, breaking the usual maximum of 5,000 mAh. Oher specs and features are largely the same, as is the $200 retail price point. The moto g play 2026 is a revival of the "play" model in the US, since there was no 2025 g play model. Importantly, this marks Motorola's most affordable 5G phone to date at $180. (The 2024 model was a 4G phone.) The new g play also gets a 5,200 mAh battery, and a larger display plus NFC compared to the 2024 model. Other specs and features are mostly similar. Motorola says almost all US carriers will carry both phones in the coming months, with the moto g play 2026 starting to roll out on November 13, and the moto g 2026 seeing initial launches on December 11.
