Moto G35 5G Hits Nepal with 120Hz Display and 50MP Camera: All for Rs. 18,999

After announcing the Motorola Moto G35 launch earlier in 2025, CG Mobile has finally brought the phone to Nepal.

Motorola, a legacy brand, is steadily making a comeback in the Nepali market with phones like the Moto G05, G64, and G45. The Moto G35 seems to be following in those familiar footsteps, keeping the momentum going.

What is the price of the Moto G35 in Nepal?

The Moto G35 5G price in Nepal is Rs. 18,999 for the 4GB/128GB variant. The phone is now available across leading e-commerce sites as well as authorized retail outlets nationwide.

The Moto G35 stands out from most other phones in its price range. It checks all the right boxes: a processor with solid price-to-performance value, a smooth display, a large battery, and a decent camera.

At least, that’s what it looks like on paper.

Let’s dive into the detailed specifications to see what the Moto G35 5G really brings to the table.

Moto G35 Overview

Design

Motorola is clearly taking the “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” approach with the Moto G35’s design. It features a slightly elevated dual-camera module—something we’ve already seen on several Motorola phones like the Moto G05, G85, G45, and others.

At a glance, it’s nearly impossible to tell these models apart. Motorola’s signature vegan leather finish also makes a return here. But if that’s not your thing, there’s a variant with a standard plastic back too.

The phone is surrounded by a plastic frame, with the iconic Motorola logo stamped on the rear. Being a budget device, it’s no surprise that the Moto G35 still includes a 3.5mm headphone jack.

In design terms, Motorola calls it a “water-repellent design,” which is basically their way of avoiding the IP52 splash-resistant label.

The Moto G35 5G is available in stylish shades like Guava Red, Leaf Green, and Midnight Black.

Display

The Moto G35 features a 6.72-inch FHD+ display. Unfortunately, it’s an IPS LCD panel, so don’t expect deep blacks or ultra-punchy colors. But that’s forgivable, considering the only phone offering an OLED screen in this price range is the HMD Crest.

Where the G35 really shines is its 120Hz refresh rate, a solid plus for this segment. Surprisingly, the only other phones offering this are the ZTE Nubia V70 Design and Max, but those are limited to 4G, unlike the 5G-ready G35.

Personally, I think this creates a neat split for buyers here. You’re deciding between the punchy, color-rich OLED on the HMD Crest or the silky-smooth 120Hz refresh rate on the Moto G35. It all comes down to what matters more to you: vivid visuals or smooth performance.

What makes this even more interesting is that both the G35 and HMD Crest share the same processor. So, let’s dive into what the hardware really brings to the table.

Hardware

This time around, Motorola has made the switch from a Snapdragon chipset to a UNISOC processor. But don’t let that fool you. It’s equipped with the UNISOC T760, a capable 5G chip that can go head-to-head with the Snapdragon 685 and even the Helio G100.

Built on a 6nm process, the T760 features a Mali-G57 GPU and can clock speeds of up to 2.2GHz, similar to what we see on the Snapdragon 695.

However, the Moto G35’s 4GB RAM lags behind competitors like the HMD Crest, Redmi 13, and Nubia V70 Design, all of which offer 6GB or even 8GB of memory.

On the bright side, you do get 128GB of internal storage, which is solid for the price. And if you need more space, the phone supports microSD expansion of up to 1TB, which is way higher than HMD Crest’s 256GB microSD card support.

Camera

The Moto G35 5G sports a dual-camera setup on the back, led by a 50MP primary sensor capable of shooting 4K video at 30fps. It’s paired with a surprisingly good 8MP ultra-wide lens—something rarely seen in this price segment. While most budget phones stick to a basic depth sensor, Motorola deserves credit for including a functional and useful ultra-wide camera on the G35.

On the front, you get a 16MP punch-hole camera that’s great for selfies and video calls, and it can record 1080p videos at 30fps.

Compared to the competition, the HMD Crest didn’t quite impress us in the camera department during our review. And this is where the Moto G35 might have the upper hand.

Motorola phones typically deliver accurate colors, and if that trend continues, the G35 should hold up well too. But of course, we won’t know for sure until we put it through some real-world testing.

Battery and OS

The Moto G35 5G packs a 5,000mAh battery with support for 18W charging via a USB-C 2.0 port.

On the software side, it runs on Android 14. Motorola keeps things simple and smooth here, offering a vanilla Android experience.

However, Android 14 in mid-2025 isn’t exactly exciting, especially considering Android 15 has been around for nearly a year now. Some flagships are even launching with Android 16, so sticking with Android 14 feels a bit outdated, even for a budget phone.

Motorola Moto G35 Price in Nepal and Availability

The Motorola Moto G35 price in Nepal is Rs. 18,999 for the 4GB/128GB variant. The phone is available for purchase across all major e-commerce platforms and offline stores.

In nearly every price segment—be it Rs. 10,000, Rs. 30,000, or Rs. 40,000—Chinese smartphones have been dominating the market. But with the arrival of the Moto G35, that might finally be changing.

The Moto G35 5G makes a strong case for itself in the under Rs. 20,000 segment. Its smooth 120Hz refresh rate, paired with the UNISOC T760 chipset, outperforms almost every competitor in this price range.

Add to that the unique vegan leather back, and it definitely has its own charm. The only real competition here is the HMD Crest, which counters with an OLED display.

That said, the G35’s biggest drawback is its limited 4GB of RAM, which could be the one thing holding it back from being a category leader.
