For the most part the Moto G line of smartphones have been budget handsets since the first model launched in 2013, but the new Moto G200 5G breaks the mold.
With a starting price of €450 (about $510), it’s not exactly an expensive phone by 2021 standards. But it’s also not an entry-level device. And with flagship-class features including a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888+ processor, a 144 Hz display, and 8GB of RAM, it’s certainly not an entry-level device.
The Moto G200 5G will be available in Europe starting within the next few weeks, and Motorola says it will also be available in “selected markets across Latin America,” but there are currently no plans to offer the phone in the US.
For folks that can get their hands on the phone though, here’s what you’ll get:

How about wifi calling and messaging?
Isn’t wifi calling dependant on your operator?
How long will this get security updates for?
