Moto G34 5G: If you are looking for a reliable and feature-packed smartphone in the budget of ₹ 12,000, then Motorola’s Moto G34 5G can be a great option for you. This phone is specially made for those who want to enjoy 5G but do not want to spend too much. The company has introduced this phone with a simple, practical and clean Android experience which seems perfect for everyday use.
Design and Look
If any phone in this budget feels premium as soon as you hold it in hand, then it is the Moto G34 5G. Especially its Ocean Green version which comes with vegan leather finish – it not only looks good but also feels comfortable to hold in hand. Apart from this, color options like Charcoal Black and Ice Blue are also available which give a glass-like 3D finish.
The thickness of the phone is 8mm and the weight is around 179 grams, which makes it feel light and slim. Also, it has a punch-hole display, which gives a modern touch according to the trend of today. Yes, the top and bottom bezels are slightly visible but the sides are quite thin.
With an IP52 rating, this phone is also protected from light dust and water splashes, which can be considered a good advantage at this price.
Display
The Moto G34 5G has a 6.5-inch HD+ IPS LCD display that also includes a 120Hz refresh rate. This thing makes this phone different from other budget phones. The screen resolution may be HD+ (720 x 1600 pixels), but the smoothness of 120Hz takes your entire UI experience up a level.
Its touch response is good, scrolling feels fast and everything looks quite smooth while browsing or chatting on social media. The brightness goes up to 500 nits, which is enough for indoor use. Yes, the screen may look a little dim in very bright sunlight, but still its refresh rate balances it to a great extent.
Performance
Talking about performance, it has Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 695 5G processor, which is based on 6nm and is considered a great chipset in this budget.
Whether you are chatting on WhatsApp, scrolling Instagram or watching videos on YouTube – everything runs without any lag. The UI feels very smooth on its 120Hz display and the phone feels very nimble due to the clean Android interface.
Talking about gaming, you can play heavy games like PUBG, Call of Duty well on medium or low graphics settings. Casual gaming runs absolutely fine.
The phone comes in two RAM options – 4GB and 8GB, both versions get 128GB of UFS 2.2 storage, which helps in fast data transfer and app loading. Storage can be expanded up to 1TB via microSD card. Also, RAM Boost feature is also given which gives the benefit of virtual RAM.
Camera
You get a dual camera setup in the rear of Moto G34 5G. It has a 50MP primary camera which comes with f/1.8 aperture, and a 2MP macro lens is also given with it.
The camera performs well in daylight. The details in the photo are correct, the colors look natural and are perfect for daily use.
The quality drops a bit in low light, but Motorola’s “Night Vision” mode helps and makes the photo a little better.
The macro camera is fine, but does not seem very useful – it is given just for the name.
Talking about the selfie camera, it has a 16MP front camera, which works well in good light.
Video recording is up to 1080p @30fps from both cameras. There is no 4K support, but that is quite normal at this price.
Battery and charging
The phone has a 5000mAh battery, which has become standard in today’s time. But its optimization is so good that you will not have to look for the charger again and again throughout the day.
Once fully charged, it can easily last for 1 to 1.5 days – if you do not do much gaming.
Talking about charging, it supports 18W fast charging, and Motorola is also providing a 20W charger in the box – which very few brands do these days. The phone gets fully charged in about 90-100 minutes, which is a pretty decent time in this price range.
Software Experience
The biggest strength of the Moto G34 5G is its clean Android experience. You get Android 14 out of the box, with My UX – Motorola’s own customization touch, but very light and user-friendly.
No nonsense apps, no extra aids – just a simple and fast interface that will suit users of all ages
