About this deal

The result is generally good photos in Day or office light. It struggles with low light introducing a lot of noise, but you will not see that on a 4×6″ print. Video (we are not video experts): You can shoot at 1080p@30fps with some OIS (optical image stabilisation We use Fail (below expectations), Pass (meets expectations) and Exceed (surpasses expectations or is the class leader) against many of the items below. We occasionally give a Pass(able) rating that is not as good as it should be and a Pass ‘+’ rating to show it is good but does not quite make it to Exceed. Do not buy models PAU90020AE / PAU90006GB / PAU90002GB / PAUY0002IN, or those with a 6/.128GB capacity.

However, it isn’t the best display around. We found it reaches 650 nits in direct sunlight, which is noticeably lower than the 770 of the Realme GT Neo 3T. Did we find it outright dim outdoors? No – it’s largely fine, just not a category leader.The 6.5in display has a 90Hz refresh rate and HD+ resolution, with the rear camera array consisting of a 50MP main lens, 5MP ultrawide and 2MP macro, while the battery is 5,000mAh. Here we see the first big advantage the G23 has over the G53 5G, with the fast charging bumped up to 30W. You also get an official IP52 rating here, as opposed to the vague “water-repellent design” of the above models.

HDR, Panorama, Macro, Portrait Mode, Pro Mode, Smile Detection, Burst Mode, Slow Motion, Time Lapse Finally, the G62 has Moto Gestures, which are also Moto mainstays. You can, for example, turn the torch on by karate chopping in the air with the phone in-hand twice. Or flip the phone over onto its screen when on a flat surface to enable the Do Not Disturb mode. To start with, there's a 6.5-inch 1080p+ display with a circle-shaped cutout and 120Hz refresh rate. Then, there's the Snapdragon 480+ processor, a 5000mAh battery, 4GB of RAM and 128GB of expandable storage.

The numerous budget style aspects of the build don’t matter much if you use the bundled case, which comes in the box. This leaves the one metal outer part of the phone exposed, the part you’ll touch a bunch of times a day: the power button. You’ll only see software stabilization when shooting at a 30fps frame rate. There’s a 60fps mode, but this appears to be completely unstabilized, which is doubly disappointing when the phone has OIS. It doesn’t appear to be used at all in photo capture. We also found the color temperature a little cool at the default setting. This is common, since a cooler tone can make a screen seem brighter and punchier. However, the Moto G82 looks better once it’s been tweaked slightly.

The 128GB storage has mountable microSD expansion to 1TB. It also supports external SSD to 1TB as OTG drives (drag and drop).

All told, the under-the-hood hardware here proved to be a natural complement to Motorola's long-standing and very hands-off approach to Android itself. There's little in the way of bloatware, with the final experience of using the Moto G62 soars to a level of responsiveness that's rare among devices of this price point. While the processor here can't compete with the snappiness of a flagship one, a 120Hz refresh rate makes the difference between the two feel surprisingly fungible. It is a mid-sized 6.5” phone at 161.83 x 73.96 x 8.59mm x 184g. Screen – 6.5″ is just about right – Pass

The Motorola Moto G82 5G is more likely to leave you with a solid but not mind-blowing 20-30% charge by the end of the day. However, there are a few techniques to tweak its longevity without switching on Battery Saver, which alters how the phone behaves. Motorola's latest budget buy is as by-the-numbers as these things come, but that's not necessarily a bad thing once you factor in the all-important price tag. This takes the phone from flat to 50% charge in 27-28 minutes, and it reaches 100% after 80 minutes. The Moto G82 continues to draw a charge at a measly 4W for a while after, but when you’re running low on juice, the 2%-a-minute charge rate means just 10 minutes plugged in can see you right for a long night. Screen orientation is an issue. The combo Accelerometer and Gyroscope are very sensitive, and the slightest movement sends it to landscape. I had to turn autorotation off.The Adreno 619 GPU maxes out at 40fps for most games – not for gamers! Overall, it is pretty smooth.
