Moto G42 Launch in India

Motorola has introduced the Moto G42 device in the Indian market today, after its release in other countries and regions throughout the world. The back of the smartphone has a triple camera arrangement, and it also has a fingerprint sensor positioned on the side. Also, the Moto G42 runs on Android 12 and features a large battery. Let’s get into the details of the Moto G42, including its pricing and when it will be available.

Moto G42 Price in India

The pricing of the 4GB RAM and 64GB internal storage variant of the Moto G42 in the Indian smartphone market has been estimated to be Rs. 13,999. Beginning on July 11, the phone will be available for purchase in the colours Atlantic Green and Metallic Rosé and can be purchased from certain retail shops in the nation in addition to Flipkart.

SBI credit and debit cardholders are eligible for a discount of Rs. 1,000 off of the purchase price of a new Moto G42 smartphone as part of the launch offerings. Jio customers who are subscribed to the Rs. 419 plan will be eligible to get additional incentives totalling Rs. 2,549 as part of the package deal that comes with the phone.

Moto G42 Design

Motorola believes that the design of the Moto G42 will set it apart from its rivals, and it has done a respectable job of achieving this goal. The phone has a thickness of 8.26 millimetres and weighs just 174.5 grams, making it quite portable. Both colours give off an impression of being fairly unique, and the matte texture that’s been imparted to the device’s chassis and the acrylic rear panel is superb.

The bottom chin of the front of the phone is somewhat larger than it was on the previous model, although the punch hole is still rather small. The Moto G42 has a fingerprint scanner integrated into the power button in addition to having an IP52 certification, which indicates that the device is resistant to dust and water.

Moto G42 Display

The OLED screen of the Motorola G42 is 6.40 inches diagonally and has a refresh rate of 60 hertz. Its resolution is 1080 by 2400 pixels, and it has a pixel density of 411 PPI. The fact that the device supports Widevine L1 indicates that you’ll be able to watch content in FHD+ resolution from OTT services. However, the absence of a 90Hz refresh rate goes against this device.

Moto G42 Performance

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 is utilized in a lot of different devices, including Motorola’s Moto G42, which also uses the same chipset. For those who are unaware, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 is an adequate CPU for general usage; nevertheless, you should not anticipate being able to run demanding games on it. The chipset is coupled with 64GB of internal storage and there is 4GB of RAM installed in the device. 

The Motorola G42 utilizes MyUX 3.0, which is based on Android 12. Unlike Xiaomi and RealMe, as well as other BBK sub-brands, Motorola does not include advertisements inside the user interface. Due to the lack of compatibility for 5G technology in the Snapdragon 680, the Moto G42 is just a 4G smartphone.

In general, the performance of the smartphone will be satisfactory, and users won’t have any problems with it in their day-to-day lives.

Moto G42 Camera

The main camera on the Motorola G42 has a resolution of 50 megapixels, and it is accompanied by an 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens and a 2-megapixel macro sensor. Additionally, the front-facing camera has a resolution of 16 megapixels. The front and back cameras both feature EIS and can record movies at a resolution of 1080 pixels at 30 frames per second. The colours are rather vivid, but they don’t stand out as much as they do on Vivo or OPPO smartphones.

Overall, considering the price tag that it carries, the Motorola G42 does not have the greatest cameras; rather, it has cameras that are of average quality, and you will be dissatisfied with both the front and back cameras.

Moto G42 Battery

The battery that comes standard in the Motorola G42 has a capacity of 5,000 mAh and supports rapid charging at 20 W. The battery should be able to survive for a whole day on average, but in the end, good battery life is mostly determined by your habits and how much time you spend on your smartphone each day.

Due to the fact that 20W fast charging no longer makes complete sense, this will take hours to fully charge the device from 0% to 100%, Motorola should have included 33W fast charging capability instead.

Moto G42 Verdict

Following the introduction of the Motorola G42, the company has further complicated matters by releasing more models, such as the Moto G52, G51 etc. The number of new smartphone models that Motorola releases has to slow down, and the company should focus more on producing high-quality products than mass quantities. If you’re looking for a Motorola smartphone for less than Rs 15000, the Motorola G52, which retails for Rs 14500, is a viable option.
