![]() Launching apps can be very slow, launching the camera takes several seconds, and switching between tasks is something of a chore. Overall, this is what you would expect a budget phone to act like. Of all the specs, the 32GB of storage seems light for this price range, but everything else is on par with what you can expect from the competition. The phone is missing NFC, wireless charging, and 5G. Add to that a 4,000mAh battery, and you have pretty typical specifications for a phone in this price range. Inside the G Pure, there’s a MediaTek Helio G25 processor, 32GB of storage, and 3GB of RAM. The new multitasking gesture would make up for it, but the performance on this phone doesn’t lend itself to single-tasking, let alone multitasking. Why the wrist twist isn’t here isn’t clear, but it is missed. These are the kind of things I get very used to when using Motorola phones and dearly miss when I move on to a different OEM. Motorola offers what amounts to a Pixel-like experience with a minimal launcher and a lot of design cues from Google. Motorola’s usual wrist-twist to activate the camera is not here for some odd reason, but a new swipe back and forth across the screen gesture gets you into multitasking mode quite easily. Motorola goes further though with a series of gestures like the chop-chop motion to turn on the flashlight. Considering people tend to hold onto their phones for longer than two years, that’s a paltry promise.īut on the flip side, Motorola’s software is also a blessing because it’s very, very good. Once again, that’s not so bad, except that other OEMs promise as many as three operating system upgrades and four years of security updates. Motorola promises one operating system upgrade and two years of software updates. This phone ships with Android 11, which wouldn’t be so bad, except that as of October 4th, Google released Android 12 to the public. Motorola’s software is both a plus and a minus here, but let’s get the minus out of the way right away. ![]() Being stuck at such a low resolution is a bit of a bummer though, especially if you want to use that large battery for some media consumption. It’s fairly unimpressive but it has a 20:9 aspect ratio which makes it easy to use one-handed. The phone only comes in one color, which Motorola calls “Deep Indigo.”Īs mentioned, the screen is a 6.5-inch 720p IPS LCD panel. ![]() The ridges on the back have a knack for catching the light at different angles and playing across the back of the phone. There’s a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor with the Motorola logo in it and a camera bump that holds two camera sensors and a flash. On the back, there’s a nice wavy-lined textured pattern that is nice and grippy and easy to hold. This is the Moto X30 Pro, Motorola’s 200MP smartphone camera beast Moto G Play (2023) serves up a smooth screen and big battery for just $170 ![]()
