Editorial report

Motorola Moto G23 technical sheet

The Motorola Moto G23 suits anyone looking for a straightforward everyday phone who values a relatively light, slim body. Its main trade-offs are performance and aspects of the display, both of which rank worse than most phones launched around the same time.

This version has 4 GB RAM and 64 GB storage. The Moto G23 is also sold in 4 GB / 128 GB and 8 GB / 128 GB configurations, and its storage is expandable. The 6.5″ IPS LCD display has a 720 × 1600 px resolution and a 90 Hz refresh rate. Its 400-nit peak brightness, 270 ppi density and 90 Hz refresh rate are all lower than those of most phones of its time. The AnTuTu result of 225,154 is also lower than that of most, a drawback for anyone prioritizing performance.

At 184.3 g and 8.2 mm thick, it weighs less and is thinner than most phones of its time. The 50 MP camera and 5,000 mAh battery with 30 W charging are typical for phones launched around the same time. It also has an ultrawide camera, stereo speakers and Android 13.

With a NeoScore of 4.7 and an overall standing worse than most phones of its time, the Moto G23 makes more sense for basic use than for anyone seeking a standout display or high performance.
