The smartphone features a 6.22-inch HD+ 90Hz display, a 5,000mAh battery, and a quad-camera setup.
Moto G22 does not support 5G connectivity.

Moto G22 has been launched in the European market as the successor to the Moto G20 that debuted last year. Interestingly, Motorola has skipped the Moto G21 for some reason. The latest G-series smartphone is a budget handset that packs considerable specifications for the price segment. However, all things considered, it only brings minor upgrades over its predecessor and does not offer 5G support, which is expected from this price bracket. Motorola is yet to announce the Moto G22 India launch details, but we can expect them to become available shortly. Till then, let’s take a look at what the Moto G22 has to offer.

The fingerprint sensor, which was placed on the back of the Moto G20, has been embedded in the power button on the right side of its successor.
