Moto G (2026) brings a bigger selfie upgrade and familiar value at just $199.99. Motorola keeps the formula simple: reliable 30 W wired charging is back, there’s still no wireless charging, and the main camera setup sticks to a 50 MP f/1.8 primary lens paired with a 2 MP macro sensor. The standout change is up front, where the selfie camera jumps from 16 MP to 32 MP (f/2.4), a welcome boost for sharper selfies, social posts, and clearer video calls.
Motorola is also improving its software promise. The Moto G (2026) is slated to receive two major Android OS upgrades starting with Android 16, a shift from last year’s policy that counted from Android 15. That longer runway makes the phone a more attractive pick for budget-conscious shoppers who still want a device that stays current longer.
Price and availability are straightforward. In the US, you can order the Moto G (2026) directly from Motorola on December 11 for $199.99, with carrier availability beginning the same day. If you prefer to buy from major retailers like Amazon or Best Buy, you’ll need to wait until January 15.
