Motorola Moto G50 Specs

7.5
8.0

Description

There are a lot of little miracles Motorola was able to pull off without driving the G50's production costs through the roof, most notably equipping the aforementioned 6.5-inch "Max Vision" display with an unusually smooth 90Hz refresh rate (for this price bracket.) Make no mistake, though, this is not a high-end handset, and the good old fashioned waterdrop-style screen cutout, relatively large chin, and especially the modest 1600 x 720 pixel resolution make it pretty clear right off the bat what kind of device you're dealing with here. By no means a powerhouse, the Moto G50 packs a Snapdragon 480 SoC. The G50 5G hides a fairly humdrum 4 gigs of RAM and up to 128 gigs of storage space under its hood, as well as a sizable 5,000mAh battery unsurprisingly capable of keeping the lights on for up to "over two days" on a single charge. Both the low-res screen and low to mid-end processor of the Moto G50 have their own crucial contribution to this impressive battery endurance score, and yes, the phone will ship with a decently fast 10W power brick in the box as standard. The Moto G50 5G also comes with a microSD card slot and headphone jack, thus eclipsing many overpriced flagships in the... flexibility department while featuring a triple rear-facing camera system composed of a solid 48MP primary shooter with Quad Pixel technology, a 5MP macro sensor, and let's face it, a largely useless 2MP depth lens.

Great 5G budget choice
Phone owned for less than a month

I bought one for my wife to replace her Moto One Vision. Were big fans of the Moto brand, me a user of the Moto Edge. It wasnt easy to choose a model, since the new 2021 range is quite confusing. Shes not a very demanding user either, but her main preferable points were: The most light as possible ( since new phones are huge and heavy)

Decent camera
Good perfomance

I think for 199€ it ticks all the above points. The camera produces good photos on par with the Moto One vision (which uses the same sensor), It has good perfomance and very smooth, and the display even 720p is colour accurate and it wont make much of a difference really, Battery life is impressive, and yes the 5G was one of the reasons, even if its not available yet in my country, but it will be in a couple of months. And the whole idea is to keep the phone for more than two years.

Its pretty compact less than 200g, 191g to be more precise. I got the 128GB/4GB version. it´s a good phone for the price, and its important to mention this one has UFS memory type. Is this the right moto G? If you can find it for less than 200€ the 128GB and you want a dependable phone, yes. If you dont mind the the size the moto G 5G Plus is still a better deal than this.
