What we don't like about Motorola Moto G 5G 2024 (4GB + 128GB)

  • Performance can be sluggish and the 4GB of physical RAM is often a limitation for multitasking or demanding apps/games (like Genshin Impact), leading to reloads and crashes.
  • Display resolution is only 720p (HD+), which is low for its 6.6-inch size, resulting in less sharp text and muted colors compared to rivals with 1080p OLED screens.
  • Camera performance is below average, especially in low light, with images often lacking detail, having poor dynamic range, and appearing noisy/grainy.
  • Limited software support, with only one major Android OS update promised and three years of security updates.
  • Display is not bright enough for comfortable viewing in direct outdoor sunlight.
  • Charging speed is capped at a modest 18W or 20W, and the phone does not support wireless charging.
  • Some users reported connectivity issues with SIM cards or Wi-Fi, and an inconsistent fingerprint reader.

Verdict

The Motorola Moto G 5G (2024) is a budget-friendly smartphone featuring a 6.6-inch HD+ (1612x720) LCD display with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 4 Gen 1 processor, 4GB of RAM (with virtual RAM Boost capability), and 128GB of expandable storage (up to 1TB via microSD). It boasts a large 5000mAh battery for extended use, a 50MP main camera system, 8MP front camera, a 3.5mm headphone jack, NFC support for mobile payments, and a premium-feeling water-repellent vegan leather design. Pros include its affordable price point, solid battery life, 5G connectivity, and clean, near-stock Android 14 software experience with useful "Moto Actions" gestures. Cons typically involve a low-resolution and somewhat dim display for outdoor use, below-average camera performance in low light conditions, middling performance for graphically intensive games, and a limited software support policy of only one OS update and three years of security patches.
