At the same time, of course, this model has to improve on last year's Moto G55 while also towering over the G45 and presumably impending G46. All in all, the specs and features listed above seem to meet those conditions, and most likely, your expectations, with a small but notable battery capacity upgrade, an interesting selfie camera improvement, and a predictable processor change prepared in comparison with the aforementioned G55 5G.
The Moto G56 5G will also be considerably larger than its predecessor, both in terms of screen size and overall dimensions, and perhaps most impressively, its durability will be vastly improved as well, with IP68, IP69, and MIL-STD-810H certifications guaranteeing top-notch water, dust, and even drop resistance. Unfortunately, that also means the weight will grow to no less than 200 grams, although for what it's worth, Motorola plans to balance out the style equation with a number of very interesting-sounding paint jobs.
What should be your pricing and availability expectations?
That, my friends, is the million-dollar question Evan Blass can't (or won't) answer for the time being. And while I obviously cannot offer you any guarantees or firm predictions either, it feels relatively safe to assume that the Moto G56 5G will see daylight sometime this summer after the same thing happened with the Moto G55 5G back in August 2024.
If you're waiting for this new Android mid-ranger to be released in markets like the US, that's... probably not going to happen, while in Europe, I expect the G56 to cost around €250 in the only configuration you should consider buying. I'm talking about the one with 256 gigs of internal storage space and 8GB RAM, which will apparently receive two major OS updates and security patches for four years.

The entry-level 128GB/4GB variant, meanwhile, is only guaranteed to score an Android 16 promotion and three years of security updates, which makes it a not-very-smart buy regardless of its price point.
In addition to the Moto G56 5G (codename "Bogota"), Motorola is reportedly working on G86 and G96 models as well, the latter of which is entirely shrouded in secrecy. And in case you're wondering, no, that device has no G95 predecessor, so I'm definitely curious to see what it will bring to the table.
