In terms of processing power, we get the Unisoc T700 chipset which is an octa-core processor. It comes with eight cores clocked at 1.8 GHz. And for graphics-intensive tasks, we have Mali G52.

The quad rear camera consists of a 48MP primary sensor paired with an f/1.7 lens, an 8Mp ultrawide sensor paired with an f/2.2 lens, a 2MP macro sensor paired with an f/2.4 lens, and a 2MP depth sensor paired with an f/2.4 lens. The front camera is a 13MP sensor paired with an f/2.2 lens. Both the front and the rear camera setup is limited to 1080p video recording at 30fps.

The Moto G20 comes with two storage options: 4GB RAM + 64GB internal storage and 4GB RAM + 128GB internal storage. There is also a hybrid SIM slot for storage expansion. In terms of communications, we get Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth 5.0, GPS, NFC, FM radio, and USB Type-C 2.0. And for sensors, we have a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor, accelerometer, gyro, and proximity. Powering it all up is a 5,000 mAh cell that supports 10W charging.
