Motorola Moto G84 5G | Unboxing, Gaming, Camera & More!

Unboxing the Motorola Moto G84 5G, with a hands-on review of the camera tech, gaming performance and best features. This £250 budget phone is one of my favourites at this price, so here's my full Motorola Moto G84 5G tour.

For a start, while the Snapdragon 695 chipset is a bit creaky, it can still handle everyday life and some light gaming. This budget smartphone also boasts strong battery life, easily lasting the day and perhaps even a weekend.

The Moto G84 5G's camera is a 50MP shooter with OIS, backed by an ultra-wide lens. This setup is perfectly dependable in most circumstances, certainly compared with some budget rivals.

The Motorola G84 also offers a stock Android experience, with some great bonus Moto tools. However, as with other Motorola phones, software support is limited. Just a single OS update in fact. Gamers will enjoy the bonus gaming mode, and I love the gesture action.

And then there's the Motorola Moto G84 5G design. It's an absolute stunner, especially this red model with its vegan leather finish. Oof.

So are you tempted by the Moto G84 5G? Check out my reviews and unboxings of other £300 and under budget smartphones for more ideas!

I remember having a Moto G3 ages ago... seems like not much has changed, Motorola still gives good value for money.

i currently had to go back to my Moto G5 plus as a backup phone since my Moto G 5G got stolen... I still like the phone even though its 8 years old. Both phones i bought because of your reviews.

The fast torch shake and camera twist...i love them.

Motorola is killing it!! And the colours of their devices whoa!

P.S.: That speaker check part 😂

Best Phone for this price in the last 7 years! I had many different brands & models Samsung A53, pocophone F1, LGG8s, etc etc etc all midrange budget phones max price €400 but this Motorola Moto G84 5G has all functionality most users need. Don't spend to much time at all negative responses like they should have put a better chipset in it and better camera comments... Those people expect to find the perfect Phone for 250, - which does not exist. There are always consessions to be made when producing a smartphone at the budget level.

Need a better camera, look further. Need a faster Phone, look further. For most people this Phone provides a very fast experience and great pictures in general so What's the point of spending more money for things you generally don't use or need in daily life?

Only downside is Moto's upgrade policy, it should be at least two os upgrades that is a truely a negative point of the policy of this company.

I didn't like my Samsung A53, it was far to slow, almost can't handle normal every day usage of different apps at the same time, far to slow, bad processor and this Moto G84 5G is noticably faster and better user experience in the same price range so Motorola does not seem to produce phones for students or kids but does an excellent job at the midrange and lowrange segment.

Pay for what you need is my slogan.

Having just purchased the Moto Edge 30 Neo because I wanted a 6" smaller phone this one is great value too. Apart from the size and larger battery and increased standard mem 256G/12G vs 128/8G they are pretty much the same phone. Both great. I am well impressed with mine and the battery usage is frugal in the extreme.
Great signal strength is also better than my previous Samsung A40. Its just works well enough said. :-)

I much prefer a flat screen over a curved one, so looks good to me.

I've watched you since I had my Sony Xperia L4 and Now I'm watching you on My Motorola Moto G82 5G

Just bought this and am very happy with it. I've been a Samsung user for over 10 years, but decided i didn't want to go on a plan or use savings for the price point of another decent Samsung, and I'm not at all disappointed with the transition to the very affordable Moto g84!

[verbavia]

I love your rythm, your delivery, pace, and especially your humor and expression. You have no idea how infuriating it is to hear some reviewers say "also equally as well too" in a SINGLE sentence. Much respect man.

Bought this phone as an upgrade from the Moto G 5G plus that was purchased in June 2021, June 2024 I've upgraded and installed Android 14 its mint, battery life is awesome nicer to hold in the hand, feels premium, camera seems decent too. Excellent bang for buck, cost $248 on an eBay plus special, Happy days! :) Excellent review mate @Tech Spurt !

[likedbymany]

Sold, just ordered mine.
Great review

[smpelpunisher_]

I had an Xiaomi redmi Note 10S and i really liked it and I just recently bought a Moto G84 5G and all i can say is, its absolutely amazing (i like it more than my Redmi note 10S) love everything about it. The display is incredible, its fast, its just a really incredible phone! 💯🔥

[DJDRFUNKJUICE]

What's good, I saw this and you have me on headphone jack. As a DJ I need this. Going to try to get it from boost later on tomorrow. Great job on the review.

Great phone and great review. Bought one couple of days ago and loving it so far.

[evoletdenise]

Love your content and I always enjoy your videos on the Motorola phones! These phones are such good quality for someone on a budget and extremely underated.

Love your personality, too! 😀😀

I had many Moto G's over the years and always loved them for their value and the stock android experience they offer.

I had gone with a Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 just over 12 months ago and had a few issues, the 4GB RAM couldn't cut it any more and the screen actually cracked just from installing a glass screen protector. Going back with Moto G's, ordered the G84

[JorgieTV]

Best value phone by far at the moment, 300 aud and 12gb ram etc is crazy.

[mogsta]

Holy crap man, I'm a stingy bastard who's needing to get another refurbished sub-$300 AUD phone. After all research, I was 10 seconds away from finally buying a refurbished Oppo X5 Lite on eBay when I saw a sponsored Moto G84 listing for less. Checked out your review and it craps all over the Oppo! I'm sold! Getting the G84 now!
