- Moto G42 moniker has been officially confirmed via TDRA certification.

- The handset will arrive as a successor to the Moto G41 and a cheaper alternative to the Moto G52.
Motorola is working on a new budget G-series phone, dubbed the Moto G42. The marketing name has been confirmed officially via the TDRA certification. This also reveals the model number of the phone as XT2233-2. Besides TDRA, the phone has cleared certifications, including BIS, the FCC, and EEC certification websites as well, indicating an imminent launch in India. The Moto G42 will arrive as a successor to the Moto G41 and a cheaper alternative to the Moto G52. The Moto G42 is said to have a ‘HawaiiPlusOLED22 code name, which is a good indication to suggest it will have an OLED panel.
Unfortunately, the specifications of the phone are unknown at the moment but noted tipster Abhishek Yadav has shared the renders of the Moto G42 showing off the entire design.
Moto G42 design
The Moto G42’s design is all but familiar. It has a centre-positioned punch-hole cutout for the selfie snapper and a noticeable bottom bezel. The volume rocker and power button with a fingerprint sensor embedded are on the right edge. The SIM tray section is on the left spine. The USB Type-C port, primary microphone, and speaker grille are at the bottom. It has a rectangular module on the back to house triple camera lenses and an LED flash.
There’s the iconic ‘Moto’ dimple on the back and the phone can be seen in the Gold colour option but there could be other choices at launch. That’s pretty much it about the design.
Moto G42 specifications (rumoured)
According to the FCC certification, the Moto G42 will be a 4G-only phone so we can expect a mid-range Snapdragon or Helio chipsets on board. The listing shows it will boot Android 12 OS out of the box with near-stock Android UI, NFC and dual SIM support. We should learn more specifications of the phone going forward. Stick around.
