Motorola Moto G50 debuts with 5G and a 90Hz 720p display

Posted: 25 Mar 2021 09:19 AM PDT

When you looked at the Moto G10 did you think "this would be awesome if it had 5G and cost €250 instead of €150"? Well, maybe you didn't, but someone at Motorola HQ clearly did. This may not the introduction the Moto G50 would have wanted, but it is the one it deserves. It is notable because it could become the first phone with the Snapdragon 480 5G chipset to launch in Europe. This 8nm chip is better than the S460 that powers the G10 thanks to a pair of Cortex-A76 derived cores (replacing four A73-based cores). And it has a better GPU. Though the 720p 90Hz display won't stress the GPU...

The new Snapdragon 780G is a 5nm mid-range chip with flagship-grade modem

Posted: 25 Mar 2021 07:15 AM PDT

Qualcomm just unveiled what could be the premium mid-range chipset to beat – the Snapdragon 780G is one the first chipsets in its class to be built on a 5nm node (following the Exynos 1080) and it's basically a lite version of the 888 powerhouse. The Kryo 670 CPU is described with a vague "40% performance uplift" without a point of reference.
