After rolling out a new mid-range smartphone, Moto G31, a few days ago, Motorola is back with a new affordable 5G phone. The Moto G51 5G which was recently launched in the global markets has made its way to India.
The Moto G51 is the world's first phone with the Snapdragon 480 Plus SoC which gives tough competition to Snapdragon 600 and Snapdragon 700 4G chipsets.
This is also Motorola's cheapest 5G phone in the country and is priced aggressively taking on the likes of Realme 8s 5G and the recently launched Redmi Note 11T.
As with most Moto phones, the Moto G51 offers a near-stock Android experience and runs on Android 11 out of the box. Barring a couple of applications like Motorola Games, Facebook, and Motorola Notifications, the phone is almost bloat-free.

The Moto G51 5G comes equipped with a 6.8-inch IPS LCD display with FHD+ resolution, 20:9 aspect ratio, and a 120Hz refresh rate. The cheaper Moto G31 comes with an AMOLED panel. however, the company decided to use an LCD panel on this phone to keep the cost under control.

In terms of optics, Moto G51 5G flaunts a triple rear camera setup consisting of a 50MP primary shooter, 8MP ultra-wide angle shooter, and a 2MP macro shooter. At the front, the device sports a 13MP snapper for attending video calls and capturing selfies.
