Verdict

The Motorola Moto G (2025) is an affordable 5G smartphone running Android 15, featuring a 6.7-inch 120Hz HD+ LCD display and powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 processor. It is equipped with 4GB of RAM (expandable with RAM Boost) and 128GB of built-in storage, which is further expandable up to 1TB via microSD card. A 50MP Quad Pixel main camera system, a 16MP front camera, and a large 5000mAh battery supporting 30W TurboPower charging round out the key features, all wrapped in a stylish, water-repellent vegan leather design. Key pros include a low price point, good battery life, a modern 120Hz refresh rate display, the inclusion of a 3.5mm headphone jack, and 5G connectivity. Cons generally focus on the display's lower HD+ resolution (not FHD+), sometimes sluggish performance with only 4GB of RAM in daily use, mediocre camera performance in low light, and a limited software update policy (typically only one or two OS upgrades).
