The Motorola Moto G96 5G is a mid-range smartphone, as a successor to the Moto G85 5G. It brings premium touches to the budget segment, including a sleek vegan leather design, a vibrant 144Hz curved pOLED display, and enhanced battery life. It is set to launch soon in Nepal (expected within November 2025), targeting users seeking value-for-money 5G devices under NRs. 40,000.
Overview
The Moto G96 5G stands out with its premium vegan leather back in four Pantone-curated colors: Ashleigh Blue, Cattleya Orchid, Dresden Blue, and Greener Pastures. It features a lightweight, ultra-thin frame with a 3D curved design for comfortable handling and an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance—rare in this price range. The phone's build combines fingerprint-resistant finishes with practical features like water touch technology (for wet-finger unlocks) and a sturdy Gorilla Glass 5 front. At 184g, it's slim (7.9mm thick) and feels flagship-like, making it ideal for users who want style without compromise on durability. The phone runs Android 15 out of the box but is limited to one major OS update and three years of security patches.Specifications
