After launching the Moto G52 and the Moto G82, Motorola appears to be prepping up to launch another G-series handset – the Moto G42. A Motorola handset with the model number XT2233 made an appearance on BIS, TDRA, and EEC certification websites. Alongside, we also spotted the Moto XT2233-1 on the FCC certification website. The TDRA certification listing reveals that this is the successor of last year’s Moto G41.
We have also spotted the upcoming Moto G42 on the IMEI database, which reveals that the handset is codenamed HawaiiPlusOLED22. On a quick search, we also found the HawaiiPlusOLED22 on Lenovo’s website. Moto G42’s appearance on BIS certification hints toward a possible India launch.
In another development, tipster Abhishek Yadav has also leaked the renders of the upcoming Moto G42. Let us take a closer look at the Moto G42 certification listings and the design renders.
Moto G42 Clears BIS Certification, Launching Soon in India?
The Moro G42 with the model number XT2233-2 has made an appearance on the EEC, TDRA, and WiFi certification websites. The handset with model number XT2233-1 has also been spotted on the FCC certification database.
The FCC certification listing for the Moto G42 reveals that the handset will support 2.4GHz as well as 5GHz WiFi networks. The handset will also offer NFC and Bluetooth connectivity. The handset will come pre-loaded with Android 12 as per the WiFi database listing. Also, the device’s codename hints that it will offer an OLED display.
Moto G42 Design Renders
The Moto G42 will look similar to other recent Motorola handsets. This means that at the front will be a full-screen display with a centered punch hole notch and a sizeable chin. The back panel of the device will house the tripler-rear camera set up inside a rectangular camera module which will reside in the top left corner.
The right edge of the Moto G42 will make room for volume rockers and the power button. The power button might double as the fingerprint scanner. The left edge will house the SIM-card tray. Whereas, along the bottom edge will be a Type-C port, the speaker grille, and the primary microphone.
Apart from it, these listings do not reveal anything about the upcoming Moto G42. However, we can expect the handset to come with some improvements compared to its predecessor.
