A new Motorola phone is on the horizon: model number XT2233-2, also known by the codename “Hawaii +”. This will come to market as the Motorola Moto G42, a sequel to last year’s G41 and a cheaper alternative to the G52.

In fact, the full code name of this device is “HawaiiPlusOLED22”. Having an OLED display isn’t surprising, though, as the Moto G41 and G52 have one too. Unfortunately, that’s almost all we know about the phone’s specs.

The Moto G42 has already gotten some certifications that offer a taste of what’s to come. According to the FCC, this will be a 4G-only phone, which limits the possible chipsets inside to nothing too advanced (e.g. the G52 works with a Snapdragon 680, the older G41 had a Helio G85). If you want 5G, you may have to wait for the Moto G62, which is also on the way.
