3.5/5Dec 15, 2025

A battery-focused budget phone with a bright, sharp display and sturdy build, held back by a cheap-feeling design, heavy bloatware and weak update promises.

  • Very large 6,720 mAh battery lasts a full weekend
  • Bright, sharp 120 Hz display with 4,500 nits peak
  • Strong everyday performance with 8 GB RAM and 512 GB storage
  • IP68 and IP69 dust and water resistance
  • Useful Moto Unplugged app-hiding feature
  • Plastic back feels cheap despite soft-touch texture
  • Heavy preinstalled bloatware on first boot
  • Slow charging; advertised 30-minute charge not achieved
  • Only four years of security updates, two OS upgrades
  • Mediocre zoom and weak low-light camera performance

3.5/5Sep 24, 2025

A affordable phone with a unique textured back, huge battery, and bright OLED screen, but mediocre performance and cameras keep it from standing out.

  • Huge battery lasts around two days
  • Very affordable with 512GB storage and microSD slot
  • IP68/IP69 water and dust resistance
  • Speakers lack bass and get shrill
  • Not great for demanding gaming
  • Mediocre cameras with weak zoom and stabilisation
  • Bloatware-heavy software
  • No charger included in the box

Verdicts, pros and cons are short summaries in our words of each publisher's review; scores are as the publisher gave them. Specs are taken from the reviews' spec boxes — where they differ, we show the value most of them give; price is the US launch price of the base model. Read the originals for the full picture.
