Affordable 5G phones usually come with a trade-off list as 5G hardware still consumes a good chunk of the budget. But if you want the high speed and low latency of next-gen networks and don’t have the budget for a more premium model, it’s about finding the right compromise.
The global Moto G62 5G is priced at € 250 in Europe and its spec sheet is quite typical of a current Moto G model and the € 200-300 5G phone segment as a whole. The G62 still finds a way to stand out.
The Moto G62 5G has a 6.5-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 1,080 x 2,400 pixels and a refresh rate of 120 Hz
For example, high refresh rate displays are quite common in this segment, but most are 90Hz panels and the Moto offers 120Hz. Additionally, ultra wide cameras often get cut off, but the G62 packs a 8 MP at 118 °. And for what it’s worth, stock Android is hard to come by, especially since Google is reluctant to launch the Pixel in more markets.
Main camera of 50 MP (1 / 2.76 ”, 0.64µm, f / 1.8), ultra wide angle of 8 MP (118 °) and macro of 2 MP
The Moto G62 5G is powered by the Snapdragon 480+ chipset instead of the Dimensity 700 which is quite popular in this segment. The two tend to trade beats in terms of performance and in truth neither is anyone’s favorite chipset. If Motorola had wanted something faster, it could have used the Snapdragon 695 that powers the Indian version of the Moto G62.
Yes, the model in India has a more powerful chipset and more RAM to boot: 6/8 GB, instead of just 4 GB. The rest of the hardware is almost identical.
The Moto G62 is equipped with a 15W charger, the fastest supported by its 5,000mAh battery
The overall Moto G62 5G looks pretty good on paper, but some elements leave something to be desired. We will hand it over to Will to explain what works well and what doesn’t:
