Motorola has always been a great brand for those looking to pick up an inexpensive but quality smartphone. Now, the company is offering a new model that costs less than most of its rivals but boasts some decent specifications.
Can anything this cheap, just £149, be any good? I take the Moto G34 5G for a field test to find out.
DESIGN
When you first pick up the Moto G34 5G it’s surprising how light and comfortable it feels in the hand.
The 162.7×74.6×8mm dimensions make it compact rather than small, with the power button on the right flank sitting just under the thumb as you hold it in your hand. This is good as it also houses the fingerprint sensor to unlock the phone, which worked well throughout my time with the device.
In fact, the construction is similar to the great Moto G13 that I reviewed a little while back, and which is remarkably even cheaper than this device.
A metal chassis and plastic rear panel reduces the heft, while also giving a reasonable level of grip. This can be increased if you leave the matt finish version (Charcoal Black or Ice Blue) and plump for the vegan leather edition that comes in Ocean Green.
There’s no case in the box, unlike the Moto G13 and some of the Chinese models
