Sizometry Analysis

Overall Score

7.5

out of 10

A standout budget-midrange phone that punches above its price with a smooth 120Hz display and a stabilized main camera, held back only by a chipset that favors everyday tasks over demanding games.

Category scores

Camera

7.0

The 50MP main sensor with OIS is a standout for the price, though the 8MP ultrawide is noticeably softer in comparison.

Battery and charging

8.0

5000mAh delivers reliable full-day battery life, backed by 30W charging that reaches roughly 54% in 30 minutes.

Performance

6.5

The Dimensity 7025 handles everyday apps and light multitasking well but struggles with demanding 3D games at high settings.

Handling and portability

7.5

179g and a comfortable curved frame make this an easy phone to use one-handed for typical daily tasks.

Build quality

7.0

A solid plastic frame and available IP68 rating on some variants give this phone a sturdier feel than its price suggests.

Value

8.5

A 120Hz display, stabilized main camera, and large battery at a budget price make this an easy recommendation for its tier.

Strengths

  • Smooth 120Hz display that most rivals in this price bracket skip entirely
  • Stabilized 50MP main camera delivers sharper handheld shots and steadier video
  • Reliable full-day battery life backed by fast 30W charging

Weaknesses

  • MediaTek Dimensity 7025 struggles with demanding 3D games at high settings
  • 8MP ultrawide camera is noticeably softer than the standout main sensor
  • IP68 rating availability varies by region and configuration

Best for

  • Budget-conscious buyers who want a smooth 120Hz display
  • Owners who prioritize a capable, stabilized main camera
  • Users who value all-day battery life and fast charging
  • Buyers seeking near-stock Android software with minimal bloatware

Less suitable for

  • Mobile gamers who need consistent high-settings performance in demanding 3D titles
  • Photography-focused buyers who need a strong ultrawide lens
  • Users who prioritize maximum storage for large photo and video libraries
  • Buyers who need guaranteed IP68 dust and water resistance in every region

Upgrade recommendation

  • Current device: Older budget phones with 60Hz displays and weaker cameras

    Recommendation: Strongly recommended

    Notes: The smooth 120Hz screen and stabilized main camera feel like meaningful, tangible improvements over older budget hardware.

  • Current device: Demanding mobile gamers

    Recommendation: Depends on priorities

    Notes: The Dimensity 7025 is best suited to casual and moderate gaming; a more powerful chipset better serves demanding 3D titles.

  • Current device: Previous-generation Moto G-series owners

    Recommendation: Depends on priorities

    Notes: Display and camera improvements are real, but the value depends on the condition and age of the current device.

  • Current device: Shoppers wanting IP68 dust and water resistance

    Recommendation: Worth considering

    Notes: Availability varies by region and configuration, so confirming this before purchase is worthwhile.

Bottom line
