Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Moto G (2026) waterproof?
It officially features a water-repellent design that can easily survive light rain and accidental water splashes, but it is not officially fully waterproof and should never be submerged.
Does the Moto G (2026) have a good camera?
The main camera is perfectly adequate for basic bright outdoor photos, but it completely lacks Optical Image Stabilization (OIS), resulting in very blurry and noisy photos at night.
How long does the battery last?
Thanks to the highly power-efficient budget processor and large 5000mAh battery, you can easily and reliably expect up to two full days of battery life with moderate, everyday usage.
Does it have a headphone jack?
Yes! Motorola has delightfully continued to explicitly include the classic 3.5mm headphone jack on its highly popular budget G-series smartphones.
Will it receive Android 17?
Motorola's update track record is unfortunately notoriously quite poor. While it may officially receive one single major Android update, you shouldn't expect the long-term software support offered by more premium brands like Samsung.
