Moto G30 full review

The Motorola Moto G30 stands out from its stablemates thanks to its 90Hz display, which also happens to be one of the highest-contrast LCDs we've tested. Photo quality is pretty pleasing in good light, too. Add to that the current, near-stock Android 11 and the top-notch battery endurance, and the Moto G30 is looking like a very well-rounded package for about €180 (4GB/128GB) in Europe or INR 11,000 (4GB/64GB) in India.

Check out our full review for more details about the Moto G30's top features, build and screen quality, battery life, performance, and camera image quality.

Just got this phone and I absolutely love it. I've had a shit Optus X smart phone for a long time and this just feels so cool. I love it

Moto G30 is a real winner 👍🏆 only video quality was disapointing. Everything else shines. Now today only 111 Euros here in Finland 🇫🇮 and I'm going to buy it tomorrow 😃 Best phone at that kind of price for sure.

I am an Indonesian citizen so sad that Lenovo-Motorola are no longer marketing their products in Indonesia 😭

Много добро видео! Моторолите, които снимате за ревю-та - т.е. тези, които се продават в България - с Андроид One ли са? Не мога да намеря информация за това по сайтовете. Ако не са, колко често получават софтуерни ъпдейти?

guys just so you know this is a budget phone. so stop complaining about the 720p

[raghuarmani]

Everything you can read in specs. What is expected is review of call quality, speakerphone, reception which are not there on specs

[briancastro]

People here sure cry a lot about the LCD Screen. What did they expect ?

[sudipchatterjee]

It is a very good phone, indeed! Thanks for the review.

[rahuljayachandran]

720p on a 6.5" display but 90hz, Lenovo is crazy, there's no place for this phone in the mid range. High refresh rate works good as a marketing "feature"

[el_official]

Are these pictures take from Bulgaria?

[atsonaga]

8mp UW giving 16mp pic. weird
Coolest reviewer ever ice cooled❄

[paulwarner]

What's with the 720p resolution on your phones in 2021??

[Techformative]

Can't wait to find one on eBay in a few months for $30 with a cracked screen and a bad imei lol

[TransportofPerth]

I just bought this phone and started using it in my videos but it's terrible. Apart from the bad quality in low light and at night, when I'm walking the phone constantly tries to focus on different things, making the video go blurry and back to normal again and it's so annoying. I turned stabilisation off and it seems to fix it but then my video is super shaky and that's bad too. Has anyone else had this problem? Do you know if it can be fixed in some settings? Or is that just how it is and I've just wasted my money!

[palevideos]

I am eagerly waiting for your moto g40 fusion review video..

[hristomirhristov]

question: G30 or G50 if they are at the same price? I am looking for an upgrade on my current G7 Power
thanks

Does anyone knows if Moto G30 works with the DJI Mini 2?
