MOTOROLA g54 5G: Specifications and Features

Moto G54 5G is the latest addition to the G-series from Motorola, launched in India earlier this year. It appears to be a minor update to the Moto G73, which was reviewed earlier in the year. The most notable features of the G54 5G are the MediaTek Dimension 7020 System-on-a-Chip (SoC) and the 6,000mAh Battery. Does this smartphone offer value for money in these areas? Let’s find out.

Key Specifications of MOTOROLA g54

Design and Display of MOTO g54

The Moto G54 offers a sturdy unibody construction with a flat edge and curved corners, as well as a matte back finish. It may not be as eye-catching as some other smartphones, but it does feel comfortable in the hand. The corners of the phone do not dig into the palm, and the 6.000mAh battery provides a surprisingly ergonomic hold. The phone weighs 192 grams and has a 6.3-inch, IPS LCD display with a refresh rate of 120Hz and a resolution of FHD+. The display is modern with a punch-hole selfie camera, but it has the thickest bezels of any smartphone in this segment. The viewing experience is comparable to other smartphones in the segment, although the blacks are not as deep. The viewing angles are also acceptable.

Cameras of MOTO g54

The Moto G54 has a dual rear camera, with a 50MP primary with OIS and an 8MP Ultra-Wide sensor. The primary has a default resolution of 12.5MP, which gives you a decent level of detail. The colours may look a bit oversaturated, but the dynamic range is impressive, especially in good lighting. The 16MP rear camera on the G54 5G is for selfies and video calling. The low-light performance isn’t great, but in good lighting, you’ll get decent facial detail and almost accurate skin tones.

Performance of MOTO g54

Moto G54 5G runs on MediaTek’s Dimensity 7020, which is based on the 6nm process and has octa cores along with up to 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of user-friendly storage. The phone performs decently in everyday usage, but it’s not as fast in the real world. There’s a bit of stutter when scrolling and switching between apps, but multitasking and gaming is pretty smooth on this phone. It’s great at keeping multiple apps running at the same time, so you can easily jump back to what you were doing. Android 13 is the operating system that comes pre-installed on the 5G Moto G54. It’s got a lightweight My UX skin that looks just like stock Android. There’s not a lot of bloatware either.

Battery Life of MOTO g54

The battery has a capacity of 6.000mAh and is able to last for more than a day depending on what you are doing. The battery on the 5G showed good stamina in PCMark battery tests, lasting 15 hours, 48 minutes. In real-world use, the battery lasts around 7 to 8 hours while browsing, watching videos, playing games, etc. However, the charging speed on the 5G may be a bit slow. The 5G supports 33W rapid charging, which can take anywhere from 90 to 100 minutes to charge from nothing.
