Motorola has launched the Moto G35 5G in India. With a starting price of Rs 9,999, the Moto G35 5G sets a new benchmark in the affordable 5G smartphone segment with a bevy of specs and features, giving the Redmi A4 5G a run for money in terms of value. While the Redmi’s ticket to fame is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 4s Gen 2, Motorola undercuts it with the segment’s first FHD screen, 4K video recording, and other quality-of-life improvements including a dedicated ultrawide camera and brighter display. The design is more modern, too, with a hole punch cutout.
