Reviews last updated: November 2026 · How we calculate this

What customers like about Motorola Moto G100 (8GB + 128GB)

  • Flagship-level performance for the price, thanks to the powerful Snapdragon 870 chipset, 8GB of RAM, and UFS 3.1 storage.
  • Very good to excellent battery life that comfortably lasts a full day, sometimes even longer, with a large 5000mAh capacity.
  • Near-stock Android experience with useful, non-intrusive Moto gestures and features, free of excessive bloatware.
  • The 'Ready For' platform offers a functional PC-like desktop experience when connected to an external display, which many users find valuable as a laptop alternative.
  • The main and ultrawide cameras are dependable in good daylight, with the ultrawide doubling as an effective macro camera with a ring light.
  • The phone includes a 3.5mm headphone jack and expandable storage via a microSD card slot, features often missing in competitors.
  • The 6.7-inch Full HD+ LCD display with a 90Hz refresh rate is sharp and smooth, with good viewing angles and HDR10 support.
  • Good call quality, strong signal strength, and a fast, accurate side-mounted fingerprint sensor.
  • Durable and appealing design, with a water-repellent coating and solid build quality.

What customers don't like about Motorola Moto G100 (8GB + 128GB)

  • Slow 20W charging speeds compared to many similarly priced rivals offering 50W or 65W charging.
  • The display is an LCD panel, which some users find less vibrant than AMOLED screens found on competing devices.
  • The screen is not very bright, which can make outdoor visibility a challenge in direct sunlight.
  • Poor low-light camera performance from all lenses, especially the ultrawide, with images often appearing grainy or overexposed.
  • Mono, down-firing speaker with tinny sound at high volumes and a lack of bass.
  • The phone is physically large and chunky, which can make one-handed use difficult for some users.
  • Motorola offers limited software updates (often only one major OS update), which is a significant drawback for security-conscious users.
  • Thermal throttling can cause the phone to get hot and performance to slump during sustained, intensive use like long gaming sessions.
  • The dual punch-hole front camera design is considered distracting and aesthetically unpleasing by some.

Verdict

The Motorola Moto G100 (8GB + 128GB) is a performance-focused mid-range smartphone featuring a potent Snapdragon 870 5G processor and a smooth 6.7-inch FHD+ 90Hz display. Key pros include its substantial 5000mAh battery and the versatility of the Ready For platform, which enables a desktop-like experience when connected to an external monitor. It also boasts a robust 64MP quad-camera system and a unique dual front camera (16MP + 8MP ultrawide). Primary cons often cited are its bulky plastic build and the lack of an AMOLED screen or official IP rating for water resistance.
