Editorial report

Motorola Moto G100 (2021) technical sheet

The Motorola Moto G100 (2021) suits buyers looking for an all-round phone with notably capable hardware. Its trade-off is its size: at 207 g and 9.7 mm thick, it is heavier and thicker than most phones of its time.

Its hardware is among the best of its time. The phone pairs 12 GB of RAM with an AnTuTu result of 806,700, and includes 256 GB of UFS 3.1 storage that can be expanded. The 6.7″ IPS LCD display has 409 ppi, a higher pixel density than most phone displays of its time, and a typical 90 Hz refresh rate. Its 21:9 format and HDR10 support round out the display specifications.

The 64 MP camera resolution is higher than most, while the f/1.7 aperture is among the brightest of its time. There is also a 16 MP ultrawide camera, but the main camera lacks optical image stabilization. Its 5000 mAh battery has more capacity than most phones of its time; 20 W fast charging is typical. Connectivity is better than that of most phones of its time, with 5G, Wi-Fi 6, NFC and dual SIM.

With a NeoScore of 6.1, the Moto G100 (2021) is a strong fit for buyers who prioritize hardware, memory, battery capacity and connectivity, and can live with a heavier, thicker body.
