Motorola revolutionises mid-range with the Moto G Max’s 7,000mAh battery and Snapdragon 6s Gen 4

Motorola unveils the Moto G Max in India, a mid-range device boasting a massive 7,000mAh battery, a 6.7-inch display, and the new Snapdragon 6s Gen 4 processor, aimed at durability and performance.

Motorola has added the Moto G Max to its India line-up, positioning the handset as a battery-focused mid-range model with a large display, a new Snapdragon chip and Android 16. The phone is priced at ₹27,999 for a single 6GB RAM and 128GB storage version and goes on sale from 20 August through Flipkart, Motorola’s Indian website and selected physical stores.

The key selling point is a 7,000mAh silicon-carbon battery, paired with 33W wired charging. Motorola says the device is built for daily durability as well, with IP64 protection and MIL-STD-810H certification. At 8.60mm thick, it is still relatively slim for a handset with this battery capacity.

The Moto G Max uses a 6.7-inch Full HD+ LCD screen with a 120Hz refresh rate, peak brightness of 1,050 nits and Gorilla Glass 7i protection. It is powered by the 4nm Snapdragon 6s Gen 4 processor, alongside LPDDR5X memory and UFS 3.1 storage. Motorola also includes RAM Boost, stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos, Hi-Res Audio, a 3.5mm headphone jack and a side-mounted fingerprint sensor. The company says it will provide two Android version upgrades and three years of security patches.

For imaging, the phone carries a 50-megapixel Sony LYT-600 main camera, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide camera and an 8-megapixel front camera. Motorola is also leaning on Google Photos AI features such as Magic Eraser, Photo Unblur and Reimagine, together with Gemini, Moto Secure and ThinkShield on the software side. In India, the phone comes in Stargazer, Alaskan Blue and Malaga. Separately, reports from Brazil suggest Motorola is using the Moto G Max name for a different device in that market, underlining that the branding is being applied differently across regions.
