Like clockwork, Motorola launched a new G series smartphone last month to take on the premium budget segment. I’m talking about the

Video performance in daylight isn’t bad, but it’s not great either. The colours look oversaturated, and the panning isn’t smooth. Stabilisation is also decent. The phone can only shoot at 1080p resolution at a max frame rate of 60fps. Lowlight videos lack detail and have plenty of noise.
Moto G64 5G Review: Verdict
The Moto G64 5G has plenty of competition in its segment. There’s the recently launched Realme P1 (Review), which has a more powerful processor but only offers 8GB RAM, no ultra-wide camera, and a smaller 5,000mAh battery. Then you also have the Redmi Note 13, the Vivo T3x, and the Samsung Galaxy A15, which all cost around the same but lack in most areas compared to the Moto G64 5G. The Vivo T3x offers a better processor and a similar sized battery, but once again lacks in other important areas such as cameras and RAM.
If you’re looking for a good budget phone with great battery life, a good display, and a decent pair of cameras, then the Moto G64 5G is an excellent choice. Albeit you may not get the best gaming performance out of this phone, it’ll still play all your favourite games as long as you dial down the graphics. Although Motorola has only given the Moto G64 5G a small spec bump, it’s still an easy phone to recommend.
