Each dot is one review, adjusted for how that publication usually scores; the line is our consensus. The closer the dots sit to the line, the more the reviewers agree.
Where the reviewers agree
Battery life is a strength, with the 6000 mAh battery lasting well over a day. — SmartWorld, PC-Welt, Trusted Reviews, TechRadar, Tech Advisor
The display is excellent, bright and vibrant, with a curved edge on some reviews. — Tech Advisor, SmartWorld, PC-Welt, TechRadar
The design is slim, comfortable and stylish, with distinctive colours and a textured back. — TechRadar, Tech Advisor, PC-Welt
Moto AI is considered underdeveloped or behind rivals such as Google Assistant. — TechRadar, Tech Advisor, SmartWorld, PC-Welt
Where they disagree
TechRadar praises the 90W wired charging as fast, while Trusted Reviews and PC-Welt say charging is slower than the previous generation. — TechRadar, Trusted Reviews, PC-Welt
Cameras are mixed: SmartWorld finds the main and telephoto results good, while TechRadar calls the camera weak with washed-out colours and Trusted Reviews says main and ultrawide over-process fine detail. — SmartWorld, TechRadar, Trusted Reviews
Software support is a concern for Tech Advisor and PC-Welt (three to four years of updates), but Trusted Reviews and TechRadar do not raise it. — Tech Advisor, PC-Welt
Bottom line: Suits buyers wanting a slim, long-lasting, good-looking phone with a strong screen and fast-ish performance at a lower price than flagships. Trade-offs include slower charging than the predecessor, mixed camera results, Moto AI's limited maturity and only three to four years of updates.
