Motorola has officially returned to the Indonesian market after an eight-year hiatus, introducing its latest smartphone, the Moto G45 5G. The U.S.-based company launched the device under the "local-for-local" concept, ensuring that production and components involve local workforce and manufacturing.

Bagus Prasetyo, Country Head of Motorola Indonesia, emphasized that this launch reflects the brand’s commitment to empowering local communities. “We are back in Indonesia with the spirit of local for local. All production is done locally for the local community, bringing positive change to our ecosystem,” he said at the launch event on February 18.

The Moto G45 5G has received certification from the Indonesian authorities, including the Domestic Component Level (TKDN) and POSTEL. To further strengthen its presence, Motorola has partnered with PT SAT Nusapersada (PTSN), one of Indonesia’s leading electronics manufacturers, ensuring the localization of key components such as chargers and packaging.

The new smartphone is available in three color options: Brilliant Blue, Brilliant Green, and Viva Magenta. It features an ultra-premium design with a vegan leather finish and an IP52 water resistance rating. Powered by the Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 processor, the device incorporates AI-driven functionalities and includes Moto Secure 3.0 for enhanced security, protecting users against phishing threats and enabling automatic locking.

Motorola has also collaborated with Corning to equip the Moto G45 5G with Gorilla Glass 3 for added durability. The smartphone boasts dual stereo speakers enhanced by Dolby Atmos and Hi-Res Audio technology, promising an immersive sound experience.

The device sports a 6.5-inch IPS LCD panel with a 120Hz refresh rate, ensuring smooth visuals and responsiveness. Its camera setup includes a 50MP main camera with PDAF technology, a 2MP macro lens, and a 16MP front camera. Additional camera features include audio zoom, spot color, auto smile capture, gesture capture, and auto night vision mode.

Equipped with a 5000mAh battery, the Moto G45 5G supports 20W Turbo Power fast charging. The smartphone runs on My UX, based on Android 14, with Motorola guaranteeing three years of software and security updates.

Additional features include Moto Gestures, which allows users to perform actions with specific hand movements, and Smart Connect, which enables seamless connectivity with other devices such as desktops, laptops, tablets, and TVs.

The Moto G45 5G will be available for purchase starting February 25 at Rp2,599,000 for the 8GB/256GB variant. As part of a Ramadan promotional offer, Motorola is offering a discounted price of Rp2,399,000.
