CAMERA: Poor—4.9/10
SIZE: Large Android
BATTERY: Fair—6.8/10
The Motorola Moto G100 is a budget-friendly smartphone featuring a plastic body and a large 6.7-inch LCD screen. It is equipped with a Snapdragon 870 processor and 8GB of RAM, providing good performance for most tasks. The battery capacity is impressive at 5000mAh, which should ensure a long battery life. However, the camera experience may be a limiting factor, as it delivers poor still photo and video quality; if photography is important to you, you may want to consider other options. This phone includes 128GB of storage, a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, and supports a headphone jack and 5G connectivity, which are pluses for connectivity and security. It runs on Android and comes with features like "Ready For" desktop mode, offering versatility in how you use the device. However, keep in mind that it has no wireless charging and no IP rating for dust and water resistance, which might be important for durability and convenience. Give Feedback

Pocket-lint
Mike Lowe | March 2021
"A budget gaming-capable phone that foregoes the AMOLED screen hype and camera cost implications to deliver a half-price near-flagship that, in use, adds up to oh so much more. Even plugging away at games for hours at a time doesn't cause too much trouble where battery is concerned. The 5,000mAh cell is a big part of the reason for the G100's above average weight, but it's a great capacity to have at your fingertips."
