Moto G22 to be launched in India next week
What's the story
Motorola is all set to announce its Moto G22 in India next week, according to 91mobiles. However, there is no official word yet regarding the arrival of the smartphone in the country. To recall, it was introduced in the European market last month. The phone comes with a 90Hz display, a 50MP primary camera, and a MediaTek Helio G37 chipset.

Why does this story matter?
The Moto G22 is a budget offering and will take on entry-level handsets in India from rivals such as Xiaomi, Vivo, and Samsung. It made its global debut last month in the European market with minor upgrades over its predecessor, the Moto G20. The device packs decent hardware and the lack of 5G connectivity is unlikely to dissuade buyers in India.

The handset offers a 90Hz LCD screen
The Moto G22 features a top-centered punch-hole cut-out, slim bezels, a plastic body, and a water-resistant build quality. It has a fingerprint scanner on the right side of the frame and a quad camera unit on the rear. The handset bears a 6.5-inch HD+ (720x1600 pixels) LCD display with a 20:9 aspect ration and a 90Hz refresh rate.
