The Moto G series was updated with five new variants from Motorola. They range from €200 mid-priced handsets to devices with the Snapdragon 888+ processor (which won’t cost you a fortune).
Large, high-refresh-rate LCDs are available on two models, while OLED displays are available on the other three. However, each of the five types can charge at a different pace. When it comes to Android 11 (with a few My UX tweaks) and My UX tools, there is only one thing that connects them.
Moto G200 5G
The Moto G200 is a significant improvement over the Moto G100 in three areas. Powered by Qualcomm’s greatest chipset, the Snapdragon 888+, this phone is a powerhouse. For a €450 phone, you get a lot of performance for your money, even though the next-generation processor is only months away.
Additional improvements include a slightly larger 6.8-inch LCD display running at a 144Hz refresh rate on the Motorola Moto G200 5G. (up from 90Hz). This one has one of the best GPUs for Android, which is rare outside of gaming phones. In addition, HDR10 certification and compatibility for the DCI-P3 color space are provided by the display.
On the subject of the chipset, it comes with 8GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 128/256GB of UFS 3.1 storage. Motorola’s desktop mode, Ready For, can also benefit from this performance. In our G100 review, we go into greater depth about it.
The camera system is the final important update. For 8K video capture and 9-in-1 binning, the sensor in the main module has an effective pixel size of 2.1 m. (plus a 960 fps slow-motion mode). Autofocus 13MP super wide-angle camera with a macro lens and depth sensor sits next to it. There’s a 16MP front-facing camera.
It is powered by a 5,000 mAh battery that can be charged at a speed of 33W. (Moto says that 15 minutes of charging is enough juice to last you to the whole day). Motorola tried to glam things up with metallic paint on the frame and a matte finish on the back, as well as basic water resistance, on the plastic frame and back (IP52).
The Moto G200 5G will be available in Europe and Latin America in the next weeks.
Moto G71 5G:
A 6.4″ OLED display with a 1080p+ 60Hz resolution makes this a more compact option. The Snapdragon 695 chipset, which was unveiled just a few weeks back, is the primary focus here, rather than raw power. In comparison to the SD 690 chip, it claims a 15% better CPU and 30% better GPU performance, as well as the increased power efficiency that comes with the 6nm node.
Instead of 6GB of RAM, the model marketed in India will come with 8GB of RAM. In addition, there is a microSD card slot that can hold up to 128GB of storage.
50MP main camera on the Motorola Moto G71 5G, with an 8MP ultrawide and 2mp macro on the back. Video recording is limited to a resolution of 1080p/60 fps.
This one boasts a 5,000 mAh battery with rapid charging, despite its smaller size (30W). Half an hour later, the battery had reached 50% capacity. The G200’s USB-C connection, on the other hand, only supports 2.0 connectivity. Dolby Atmos is supported, and it’s water-resistant, just like the G200 (IP52).
A few weeks after the Moto G71 goes on sale in Europe for €300, it will be released in select regions in India, Latin America, and the Middle East.
Moto G51 5G:
This is a combination of the G200 and G71. The Snapdragon 480+ chipset, an overclocked variant of the original 480, provides 5G connection. That’s amazing because the 6.8″ LCD has 1080p+ resolution and 120Hz refresh rate, thus this one can handle 1080p+ at 120fps.
It’s a good choice to consider if the G200 is too expensive but you’re still looking for a huge display and 5G connectivity in your phone. The Dolby Atmos support makes this a great entertainment machine for a low price. To put things in perspective, this is a €230 budget.
With a 50MP primary camera and 8MP ultra wide (with a 1080p/60fps resolution cap on video) and 2MP macro, the camera is based on the G71’s camera. A microSD slot and a 128GB option are available if you need more storage space.
There is no doubt that the phone is powered by a 5,000mAh battery, yet it takes a while to charge at just 10W. Splash resistance is ensured by the IP52 rating of the phone’s casing.
European and Asian markets will also be the first to get their hands on the G51.
Moto G41:
Whereas the G51 was a low-cost G200, the G41 from Moto is a low-cost G71. The same 6.4″ OLED panel with 1080p+ resolution and 60Hz refresh rate are what we mean by that. At €250, it’s a little more affordable.
However, there is a price to pay – there is no 5G, as the phone uses a Helio G85 CPU. There includes a microSD slot, as well as 4GB or 6GB of RAM and 64/128GB of built-in storage.
Optical image stabilization (OIS), an 8MP ultrawide sensor (along with a macro option) and 1080p/30 frames per second video capture round out the camera’s features. There is Dolby Atmos and an IPX2 rating as the others. The G51’s 5,000 mAh battery, on the other hand, charges at 30W, beating this one’s 30W.
Later this year, the Moto G41 will be available in Europe and the Middle East.
Moto G31:
The G71 recipe has been reworked in a more affordable manner. The same 6.4″ OLED (1080p+, 60Hz) screen and IPX2 rating are on board. Because the phone has the same Helio G85 processor as the G41, there is no 5G support here (it has 4GB of RAM, 64/128GB of storage, and a microSD card slot).
However, the G31 model has a 50MP main camera and an 8MP ultra wide (1080p/30 fps) video recording. In addition, the 5,000 mAh battery charges at just 10W, which is slow.
The Motorola Moto G31, on the other hand, is the most affordable of the trio at €200. It will be available across Europe, India, Latin America, the Middle East, and Asia in the coming weeks.
