What it is
Average grade from independent test sites, magazines and video reviewers, 1–10.

Third-party reviews

What customers like about Motorola moto g77 5G

  • 8 GB of RAM gives multitasking plenty of room.
  • At 7.3 mm thick, it feels slim in the hand.
  • The 450 ppi screen shows sharp text and photos.
  • Optical image stabilization steadies photos taken by hand.
  • eSIM support means no physical card is needed.
  • Stereo speakers give films and music a fuller sound.

What customers don't like about Motorola moto g77 5G

  • At 77.4 mm wide, it is broad for one-handed use.
  • There is no optical zoom, so distant subjects lose detail when cropped.
  • There is no wireless charging.
  • There is no 3D facial recognition for face unlock.
  • It does not get direct OS updates, so new Android versions may arrive late.

Verdict

Room to multitask comes from 8 GB of RAM in the Motorola moto g77 5G. It has 256 GB of storage and a 6.78-inch screen at 450 ppi, with a 120 Hz refresh that keeps scrolling smooth. At 7.3 mm thick it slips easily into a pocket, and the 2.5 GHz chip handles everyday apps without fuss. Optical image stabilization steadies photos taken by hand, and eSIM support means no physical card is needed. Stereo speakers give films a fuller sound. The trade-off is width. At 77.4 mm, it is broad for one-handed use, so a large pocket or two hands helps. It suits someone who wants a quick, sharp phone for messaging, video and everyday photos on the go.
