Motorola is offering the phone with 8GB or 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 256GB of UFS 4.1 storage. Charging options include 90W TurboPower wired charging, 25W Qi2 magnetic wireless charging, and 5W reverse charging.
On the camera side, the rear setup includes a 50-megapixel Sony LYTIA-710 main sensor with optical image stabilization, plus an 8-megapixel ultra-wide camera with macro support. The front camera is 32 megapixels.
