Motorola launched the G55 in August of last year, and now it’s working on its successor, the unsurprisingly named Moto G56. Its pricing was leaked back in March, and today we get an official-looking render to gawk at along with its full specs.
The G56 has a 6.72-inch 1080×2400 LCD screen with 120 Hz refresh rate, 1,000-nit peak brightness, and Gorilla Glass 7i on top, a 50 MP main camera with f/1.8 aperture using Sony’s Lytia LYT-600 sensor, an 8 MP ultrawide with f/2.2 aperture, and a 32 MP front-facing camera with f/2.2 aperture.
It’s powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7060 SoC, paired with 4/8GB of RAM and 128/256GB of storage. Keeping the lights on is a 5,200 mAh battery with support for 33W wired charging. The phone has stereo speakers, IP68 and IP69 certifications for dust and water resistance, MIL-STD-810H certification for ruggedness and durability, and microSD card support.
It measures 165.75 x 76.26 x 8.35 mm and weighs 200g. It runs Android 15 and will get one major Android update for the 4GB RAM version and two major Android updates for the 8GB RAM variant, with three years of security updates (4GB model), and four years of security updates for the 8GB iteration – in both cases these will be bi-monthly.
So, compared to the G55, the G56 has a larger screen, a higher-res selfie camera, and a 200 mAh bigger battery. The G56 will be offered in Pantone Black Oyster, Pantone Gray Mist, Pantone Dazzling Blue, and Pantone Dill.
