Official-looking renders published by Android Headlines suggest that the Moto G (2026) and the Moto G Play (2026) will debut with nearly identical designs. They are seen in the Pantone Cattleya Orchid and the Pantone Tapestry colourways, respectively.

Both smartphones feature a flat front panel with a centred camera hole. The side bezels are thin, with a thicker bottom, and the mostly flat frame curves slightly at the front and back. The power button is below the separated volume keys, all placed on the right edge, while the SIM tray is on the left.

A 3.5 mm audio jack sits at the bottom of both the Moto G (2026) and the Moto G Play (2026) alongside the USB-C port. Both phones have a similar back design with raised camera islands and an eco-leather finish, expected to offer a natural grip without needing a case.
