Editorial report

Motorola Moto S30 Pro technical sheet

The Motorola Moto S30 Pro suits buyers who prioritize a high-refresh-rate display and a well-equipped camera, and can accept a battery with less capacity than most phones of its time. Its 6.55-inch display has a 144 Hz refresh rate and 402 ppi; the refresh rate is among the highest of its era. At 172 g and 7.5 mm thick, it is also lighter and thinner than most phones launched around the same time.

The Snapdragon 888+ scores 902,000 in AnTuTu, better than most phones of its time. This version has 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage; the phone is also sold in 12 GB / 256 GB and 12 GB / 512 GB configurations. Its 50 MP camera pairs optical image stabilization with a larger sensor than most phones of its time. There is also an ultrawide camera and 4K recording.

Connectivity includes 5G, Wi-Fi 6E, NFC, and dual SIM. It runs Android 12 but has no Google Services. The 4400 mAh battery has less capacity than most phones of its time, while 68 W charging is more powerful than most. Its overall NeoScore is 6.8, better than most phones of its time. This is a compelling fit for buyers who want a fluid display and capable camera features, and do not rely on Google Services.
