Motorola’s next budget warrior is on the way, and thanks to a fresh leak, we’re getting a full look at what the Moto G56 is bringing to the fight. A new official-looking render has landed alongside a complete spec sheet — and while this isn’t a flagship killer, it might just be one of the best bang-for-buck phones in 2025’s midrange market.
The Moto G56 is set to follow in the footsteps of last year’s G55 with a familiar design language and a few smart upgrades. The star of the show is a 6.72-inch LCD display, Full HD+ (2400 x 1080) resolution, 120 Hz refresh rate, and a peak brightness of 1000 nits. It’s protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 7i, which adds a layer of durability without driving up cost.
On the camera front, you’re looking at a 50 MP main shooter with an f/1.8 aperture and Sony’s Lytia LYT-600 sensor, plus an 8 MP ultrawide camera and a surprisingly high-res 32 MP selfie cam (f/2.2). It’s a clear sign Motorola wants to appeal to content creators on a budget.
Under the hood is the MediaTek Dimensity 7060, paired with either 4 or 8 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of internal storage (plus microSD support up to 2TB). The phone is powered by a 5200 mAh battery with 33W TurboPower charging — not the fastest around, but solid for this price tier.
Built to last — and built for updates
The G56 isn’t just about performance. It’s also built tough. You’re getting IP68 and IP69 certification for dust and water resistance, as well as MIL-STD-810H military-grade durability. Stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos are on board too, keeping the media experience well above average for the segment.
It runs Android 15 out of the box and Motorola’s promising one OS upgrade for the 4GB model and two for the 8GB variant. Security updates will land bi-monthly: three years for the base model, and four years if you go for the upgraded version.
And yes, there’s NFC, dual SIM (with options for physical + eSIM), and a suite of Moto’s Smart Connect features like screen sharing, clipboard sync, and even webcam functionality. Think of it as Motorola’s take on Samsung DeX — lighter, but very handy.
Color options and comparison to the G55
Available in four Pantone-inspired colors — Black Oyster, Gray Mist, Dazzling Blue, and Dill — the G56 retains the same practical design aesthetic, but adds a bit more visual flair.
Compared to the Moto G55, the G56 bumps up the screen size, boosts the selfie cam resolution, and adds an extra 200 mAh of battery. Not revolutionary, but enough to make it a worthwhile upgrade if you’re on an older G-series device.
