Editorial report
Motorola Moto G96 5G technical sheet
The Motorola Moto G96 5G suits people who want a fluid display and a light, slim phone; its main trade-off is connectivity that ranks among the weakest of its time. The 6.67-inch AMOLED display has a 144 Hz refresh rate and Always-On Display, while its 92.77% screen-to-body ratio is among the best of its time. At 178 g and 7.93 mm thick, the phone keeps its body light and slim. It also has IP68 protection.
For photography, it pairs a 50 MP camera with optical image stabilization and an 8 MP ultrawide camera. The camera setup stands better than most phones launched around the same time. Video recording reaches 4K at 30 fps. The Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 comes with 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage, while the 5,500 mAh battery supports 33 W charging. Those are typical figures for its time rather than a standout advantage. Android 15 and stereo speakers round out the listed features.
Connectivity is the clearest weakness against phones of its time: it has Wi-Fi 4 and Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.2, and USB 2.0. Its overall NeoScore is 6.5, typical among phones launched around the same time. The Moto G96 5G is a stronger fit for people who value its display, light build, and camera setup than for those who put connectivity first.
