Moto G05 Full Specifications and Features
Under the hood, the Moto G05 is powered by MediaTek's Helio G81 Extreme processor paired with 4GB LPDDR4X RAM. The 64GB onboard storage is expandable up to 1TB via microSD, giving users ample room to grow. The device ships with Android 15 layered with Motorola's Hello UI.
The display is a 6.67-inch HD+ LCD panel with a resolution of 720 x 1,612 pixels, a smooth 90Hz refresh rate, and a peak brightness of 1,000 nits. Gorilla Glass 3 adds an extra layer of scratch and drop resistance to the screen.
Camera System
Photography is led by a 50-megapixel main rear camera, which is impressive at this price point. Up front, an 8-megapixel selfie camera handles video calls and self-portraits. While the camera setup is straightforward, the 50MP sensor gives the G05 a notable edge over many rivals in the sub-Rs 7,000 segment.
Battery and Connectivity
The Moto G05 houses a 5,200mAh battery that should comfortably handle a full day — and then some — of moderate use. It supports 18W wired charging. On the connectivity front, you get 4G LTE, Bluetooth 5.0, FM radio, GPS, a 3.5mm audio jack, and a USB Type-C port. A side-mounted fingerprint sensor handles biometric security. The phone also holds an IP52 rating for protection against dust and light splashes, and dual stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos round out the multimedia experience.
