Motorola Moto G50

“There's no denying that the Moto G50 is an excellent marathon runner thanks to its energy-efficient SoC and generous battery capacity. It takes very good photos - even during the night, and its internals are protected by a water-repellent design. The near-stock Android experience has always been one of Motorola's strongest suits, and in recent years, the company has found a way to enhance it even further with several Moto-specific features without ruining the vanilla feel.”

“The Motorola Moto G50 presents itself as a solid mid-range smartphone, especially if you're looking for pure Android. The combination of a 90 Hz display and 5G makes the smartphone an interesting choice given its 250-Euro (~$295) manufacturer's price. It's annoying that the included charger doesn't make use of the smartphone's full charging capacity, which is actually a bad decision for all sides from our point of view. The dim screen doesn't seem to be up to date either, even if it offers good contrasts.”

“All in all this isn't a bad phone. If you bought one you'd probably be content with its capabilities. What it is, however, is a confusing entry to the G-series, skewing the range's numbering convention and delivering a handset that - aside from the 5G addition - is largely worse off than the lower-spec and lower-price G30.”

“A capable mid-ranger that squeezes in 5G support for less than you expect. The G50 isn't an absolute bargain like previous G series phones, but it largely delivers in all areas for the price.”
