The Moto G Max 5G has now been launched in the Indian market, but the device arrives with a completely different set of specifications compared to its global counterpart. This wasn’t entirely a surprise, though, as the specifications teased by Motorola ahead of its India launch had already confirmed that the Indian variant would be quite different.

Moto G Max 5G – Specs and Features
Starting with the display, the Moto G Max 5G features a 6.72″ LCD display with a Full HD+ resolution of 2400 × 1080 pixels, 391 PPI pixel density and support for up to a 120Hz refresh rate. It also offers a 120Hz touch sampling rate, up to 1,050 nits of High Brightness Mode, Water Touch and Display Color Boost. Corning Gorilla Glass 7i protection is also given on the front.
Under the hood, the smartphone is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 6s Gen 4 Mobile Platform built on a 4nm process. Its octa-core CPU consists of four Cortex-A78 cores clocked at up to 2.4GHz and four Cortex-A55 cores clocked at up to 1.8GHz. It is paired with 6GB LPDDR5X RAM and 128GB UFS 3.1 storage, while RAM Boost can expand the available memory up to 18GB.
Speaking of the software, the Moto G Max 5G runs Android 16 out of the box and is promised to recieve two major Android OS upgrades along with three years of security maintenance releases.
Moto G Max Specs
Coming to the cameras, the smartphone features a 50MP primary camera using the Sony LYTIA 600 sensor with an f/1.8 aperture, PDAF and Quad Pixel technology. It is accompanied by an 8MP ultra-wide camera offering a 119.5-degree field of view. At the front, users get a 32MP selfie camera with Quad Pixel technology.
The front camera supports up to 2K video recording at 30fps, while several camera features such as Night Vision, Portrait, Panorama, Pro Mode, Ultra-Res, Portrait HDR, Google Lens integration and up to 8x digital zoom are also offered. Users will also get Google Photos editing features including Magic Eraser, Photo Unblur, Reimagine, Auto Frame, Portrait Blur and more.
Another major highlight of the Indian Moto G Max 5G is its battery, as the smartphone packs a massive 7,000mAh battery with support for 30W TurboPower charging. Motorola claims that the device can offer up to 63 hours of battery life on a single charge.
For durability, the smartphone comes with an IP64 rating and MIL-STD-810H durability certification. It measures approximately 166.23 × 76.50 × 8.60mm, weighs around 213 grams and features a satin-inspired rear finish along with a plastic frame.
Speaking of the audio experience, the Moto G Max 5G comes with stereo speakers, Dolby Atmos and Hi-Res Audio support. A 3.5mm headphone jack, dual microphones and FM Radio are also present.
Connectivity options include 5G, 4G LTE, dual physical SIM support, Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.1, GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, QZSS, BeiDou and USB Type-C. However, NFC is not supported on the Indian variant.
Quite Different From the Global Moto G Max
As mentioned above, the Moto G Max launched in India is quite different from the model already available in markets such as Brazil.
The Brazilian Moto G Max comes with a larger 6.8-inch 1.5K Extreme AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and up to 5,000 nits of brightness. It is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6400 chipset, paired with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage.
It also gets a 200MP primary camera with OIS instead of the 50MP main camera offered on the Indian model. The global model packs a smaller 5,200mAh battery with 33W TurboPower charging, while it also gets NFC and comparatively higher IP66, IP68 and IP69 ratings.
So while both smartphones carry the same Moto G Max moniker, their core hardware is considerably different depending on the market.
Pricing and Availability
Speaking of its pricing, the Moto G Max 5G has been launched in India in a single 6GB/128GB memory variant priced at INR 27,999.
The smartphone will go on sale in India starting August 20th 2026 at 12 PM via Flipkart, the Motorola India website and authorised retail stores across the country. It will be offered in three colour options – PANTONE Alaskan Blue, PANTONE Malaga and PANTONE Stargazer.
