Editorial report
Motorola G96 8 GB / 256 GB / India technical sheet
The Motorola G96 suits buyers who want a slim, light phone with a particularly fluid display. Its main trade-off is the main camera’s f/1.9 aperture, which is worse than most phones of its time.
Its 6.67-inch pOLED display runs at 144 Hz and reaches 1,600 nits. The refresh rate is among the best of its time, while the 92% usable surface is better than that of most phones. The body weighs 178 g, measures 7.9 mm thick, and has IP68 protection against dust and water.
The 50 MP main camera includes optical stabilization, an 8 MP ultrawide camera provides a wider view, and video recording reaches 4K at 30 fps. The camera setup is better than most phones of its time, although the main aperture is a specific weakness. Snapdragon 7s Gen 2, 8 GB of RAM, and 128 GB of storage define this version; an 8 GB / 256 GB configuration also exists, but storage cannot be expanded. Android 15, 5G, Wi-Fi 6E, NFC, and dual SIM add practical breadth.
Performance, connectivity, and battery are typical for phones of its time: the 5,500 mAh battery and 30 W charging do not stand out. With a NeoScore of 6.9, the Motorola G96 is best suited to buyers who prioritize its display, light body, and stabilized camera.
