Editorial report

Motorola Moto G (2023) technical sheet

The Motorola Moto G (2023) suits buyers looking for a 5G phone with a 120 Hz display, provided they can live with modest memory and slower charging than most phones launched around the same time. Its overall showing is typical among phones from that period, and its NeoScore is 4.9.

The 6.5-inch IPS LCD display runs at 120 Hz, a typical refresh rate for its time. Its 270 ppi pixel density is lower than that of most phones launched around the same time, so it is not the pick for buyers who prioritize a particularly sharp display. This configuration has 4 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage, both lower than those of most phones from the period. Storage is expandable.

The camera pairs 48 MP resolution with an f/1.7 aperture. The resolution is lower than that of most phones of its time, while the aperture is brighter than most. Video recording reaches 1080p at 30 fps. The 5,000 mAh battery has typical capacity, but its 15 W charging is slower than what most phones launched around the same time offer. Connectivity includes 5G, eSIM and Wi-Fi 5. Overall, it makes more sense for buyers who prioritize 5G, a high refresh rate and a 189 g weight than for those seeking ample memory, high pixel density or faster charging.
