NeoTeo's verdict

Which of the two is the better buy

The Moto G100 is the choice for performance and battery life: it reaches 678,000 points in AnTuTu and has 7,000 mAh. The Moto G56 suits buyers who prioritize durability and connectivity, with IP68, IP69, MIL-STD-810H, drop resistance up to 2 m and Wi-Fi 6. The overall gap is narrow, so each phone leads in a different area.

The G100 pairs the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 with 12 GB of RAM and reaches 678,000 points in AnTuTu, versus 475,000 for the G56; it also scores 1,015 versus 936 in Geekbench 6 Single-Core and 2,970 versus 2,257 in Multi-Core. The G56 counters with UFS 3.1 storage versus UFS 2.2 and supports expansion by card. Its display reaches 1,000 nits, against 1,050 nits on the G100, while both offer 6.72″, 120 Hz and 392 ppi.

The G100 has a 7,000 mAh battery versus 5,200 mAh on the G56 and uses Si-Carbon Li-Ion technology; both support 30 W charging and reach 49 hours per cycle. The G56 weighs 200 g versus 210 g and adds Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.3, compared with Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth 5.1 on the G100. The G100 keeps an edge in slow motion at 120 fps, while the G56 has an f/1.8 aperture versus f/1.9. The choice is therefore performance and battery or durability and connectivity.
