Motorola has come up with a new set of smartphones specially designed for the camera-savvy generation of today. These new smartphones promise a range of features backed by quality in performance.

The new smartphones headed for launch are the Moto G60 and the Moto G40 Fusion. They are ready to be launched on the 20th of this month in India, as per the recent promotional campaigns active on Flipkart.

The teaser informs the viewer about the launch timing as well, which is at 12 pm. Both the Moto G60 and MotoG40 Fusion variant will be available as mid-range phones with impressive specifications.

Specifications: Moto G40 Fusion

The base variant among the two launches is the Moto G40 Fusion which offers a stellar 64-megapixel Quad Camera.

The smartphone is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 732G Octa-Core processor, a fantastic catch for gaming enthusiasts. It is 15% more powerful than the regular Snapdragon 730G. Even the WiFi strength for this chipset is better optimized.

A 4GB RAM is offered in this mid-range smartphone that works on Android 11 and has a massive 6,000 mAh battery with proprietary fast charging mode. It will be launched in the color blue.  

Moto G60 Specification

The Moto G60 is the upgraded version of the Moto G49, offering an impressive 108-megapixel camera having a triple camera setting at the back. The 108MP shooter will give ultra-high-resolution images, including a depth sensor. The triple camera enriches photography performance by offering an 8-megapixel camera as a Micro Lens which users can also use in the Ultra Wide shooting mode. On the front, the smartphone provides a 32-megapixel camera for selfies.

In addition to the 732G Snapdragon processor, the smartphone comes with an HDR10 display with a 6.8-inch screen size and a 120 Hz refresh rate.

Although Lenovo has the ownership rights of Moto so this time, the company has added some specifications from the Thinkpad range of Lenovo laptops. The security and Android OS core policies are upgraded by ThinkShield protection specially designed for mobiles. 

ThinkShield provides an increased level of security to mobile owners as compared to other smartphone devices available in the market, having a unique security system that prevents the smartphone from getting any kind of virus troubles and shields it with elevated protocols of security.

The battery performance of the MotoG60 is similar to the Moto G40 Fusion, offering a 6,000 mAh battery that can last up to fifty-four hours, as claimed by the company. 

6 GB RAM space is available on this variant, and a fingerprint scanner is built on the back. 

Both the phones have volume rockers and a power button on the right side with an additional button that will be dedicated to Google Assistant, as presumed.  The left side of the phone is dedicated to the sim tray.

After reviewing the unique features available on both smartphones, it can be said that the launch will garner the interest of all gaming and photography enthusiasts, making the campaign a huge success.

Since the mobile network companies announced a Fifth-Generation (5G) network, the race has begun in all mobile phone companies to offer the 5G supported device first. Many companies like Apple, OnePlus, Samsung, and many others have already launched their 5G device, while some are still trying.

Initially, back in the year 2018, the Poco was released by the company Xiaomi, and after which it continuously gained popularity among people. The first device, which is Poco F1, is the root of the success they have now.

They are again going to come up with an amazing smartphone, Poco M3 Pro supported 5G network in India by Poco. The launch dates are not announced yet, but some have predicted that it will be launched in the upcoming months. Moreover, the release of the Poco M2 Pro is also not too far to be launched in India.

As per the report of MySmartPrice, the upcoming model of Poco, which is the M3 Pro, might be a remark of the recently launched Redmi Note 10 with the 5G support. Besides, they also discover that this M3 Pro with model number “M2103K19PI” will be released with BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) certification, which means to offer the third party security of quality, reliability, and safety of users and product. The noticeable thing is that the “M2103K19PG” is spotted on Federal Communications Commission (FCC), while Note 10 by Redmi also belongs to it.

As per the documentation, it is stated that both Poco and Redmi devices (M3 Pro and Note 10, respectively) used similar material. However, the laser engraving and drawing of both these devices are different, which would change the design of the back panel and the position and size of branding.

There is no official functionality and specifications of M3 Pro 5G are revealed by Poco, but here we can predict some features of M3 Pro.

Specification of Poco M3 Pro

The first and foremost feature, as you can already assume by the name “M3 Pro 5G”, is that it will have the support of the 5G network and becomes the first Poco model to be released in India by the team.

The expected display of the M3 Pro might be Full HD+ with 6.5 inches LCD screen. We can expect the highest screen refresh rate of 90Hz in the entire Poco M series with a brightness of 500 nits.

In the past, November 2020, it was unveiled by Poco that they are trying to include 700 MediaTek Dimensity chipset. To make a budget and mid-range phone, a 7 Nanometer octa-core chipset processor might be there. The two sports chipset of Cortex-A76 CPU clocked 2.2 GHz and six chipsets of Cortex-A55. The graphics might be handled by Mali-G57 GPU.

Of course, the functionality of the camera is important nowadays, as Poco M3 Pro said to deliver a triple camera with a 48MP primary attached with 2MP both macro and depth sensor. We can predict that the selfie camera may be 8MP, but we never know what they have planned.
