Moto G Max silently launches as a rebranded Moto G87 | Infinium-tech

Motorola launched the Moto G87 in late April, released it in May and has now relaunched it in Brazil. But there it is called Moto G Max for whatever reason. The Moto G Max can be yours from Motorola’s Brazilian online store for BRL 2,519.10, which is $488 right now.

For that amount of cash you’ll get a smartphone with a 6.8-inch AMOLED screen with “1.5K” resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, 5,000-nit peak brightness, and Gorilla Glass 7i on top. The device is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6400 SoC, paired with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage.

On the back, there is a 200MP main camera with f/1.8 aperture and OIS and an 8MP ultrawide camera, while for selfies, you get a 32MP snapper. Keeping the lights on is a 5,200 mAh battery that supports 33W fast wired charging.

The Moto G Max has stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos support, IP66/IP68/IP69 ratings for dust and water resistance, and it also complies with the MIL-STD-810H standard. It has an in-display fingerprint sensor and runs Android 16. It measures 164.58 x 77.37 x 7.38 mm and weighs 183 grams.

It’s unclear whether Motorola plans to bring the Moto G Max name to other markets, or continue using the G87 branding elsewhere in Brazil alone. We obviously can’t tell you why the same handset needs two different names, but as you might know this is a regular practice in the industry.
