Moto G36 leak points to a giant 7,000mAh battery and a refined design
Motorola looks set to double down on battery life. Fresh certification details from China point to a new device widely believed to be the Moto G36, and it’s packing a battery that matches the brand’s current heavyweight, the Moto G06 Power. That means a typical capacity of 7,000mAh (6,790mAh rated), which would make the G36 one of Motorola’s longest-lasting smartphones yet.
The handset identified as Motorola XT2533-4 is shown with a 6.72-inch IPS LCD display at 1080 x 2400 resolution. While the listing doesn’t confirm refresh rate, recent Motorola releases in this class often hit 120Hz, so a fast panel is a fair expectation. Images reveal a larger, more pronounced camera island than the Moto G35 and a stylish purple finish that appears to mimic faux leather, adding grip and a more premium feel.
On the camera front, the Moto G36 is tipped to carry a 50MP main rear camera paired with an 8MP ultrawide, plus a 32MP selfie camera. Under the hood, the chipset isn’t named, but the performance notes mention a prime CPU core clocked at 2.4GHz—suggesting an upgrade over the Unisoc T760 used in the Moto G35. Storage and memory configurations reportedly start at 4GB RAM with 64GB of storage and could scale up to 16GB and 512GB, though that top-end option may not reach all markets.
Despite the huge battery, the phone is listed at 210 grams, which is impressively lighter than the 7,000mAh Moto G06 Power at 220 grams. Charging is slated at 33W wired, offering a sensible balance between speed and battery health.
This move continues Motorola’s recent push into extra-long endurance phones. The Moto G86 Power previously held the brand’s biggest battery at 6,720mAh, before the Moto G06 Power raised the bar to 7,000mAh. The G36 appears to join that elite battery-life club, potentially launching first in China before expanding to other regions.
