Expert point of view
Smartphones are an ever-changing beast, designed to cater for a tech-hungry public. On that note, the latest device to come out of this very popular series is the Motorola G34 5G - a phone meant for folks who desire much more from an almost budget offering.
Motorola G34 5G Price in India: Considering the pricing of Motorola's earlier launches, we can expect that at around INR15k price tag (if under this then it will be great). So if you are looking for a semi-best performer budget smartphone with day to day jobs efficiently and loves motor skills (in terms of design) with the taste of future generation network speeds.
Design
More than just high-end specs, it seems the Motorola G34 5G is certainly a looker too. Motorola has done a tremendous job of making even one from its budget line-up look every bit as premium.
At the end of it, its design serves a testimony to Motorola staying true in providing good looking devices that maintain their sense of purpose and affordability. Through and through, it is a stunning looking device which feels great in the hand.
The design is largely appearance driven but responds to functional factors as well. With a splashproof coating, it provides an element of protection against accidental spills on the phone which means you will not need to replace your device at regular interval just simply because hands sweat or if/when small amount of water consume one..
Display
Motorola G34 5G includes a center-of-the-road balance between cost and visual sanity with its 6.5-inch HD+ panel The display might not be the most pixel-dense for its size but it does a good enough job with everyday tasks.
Resolution: 1500 x 720 pixels [HD+] the most cost-effective decision. This helps Motorola keep the costs down, by going with an HD+ (1600 x 720 pixels) resolution. Even though it does not have the same amount of pixels per inch like Full HD+ or higher resolution screens, most users should find one to produce a good sharp image. You can comfortably take this laptop outside and browse the web, watch a video or play some casual games as everything shown on screen is easily readable.
Motorola G34 5G has a sizable 120Hz refresh rate, which is one of the device's key highlights. What this tech does do is increase the UI smoothness which makes scrolling through apps and menus feel like butter on your fingers. But it especially shows in games, where the higher refresh rate leads to a smoother experience with less motion blur.
Although the color gamut and peak brightness of the display are not yet known officially, considering we have seen decent displays by Motorola in this price range before, they should be good enough for indoor use. I would also expect the panel to have a colorful and striking image, but not super-saturated.
Camera
The Motorola G34 5G comes with a dual rear camera setup featuring a 50MP primary sensor and a 2MP macro lens. On the front, it sports a 16MP selfie camera, making it a well-rounded camera phone for budget-conscious users.
Rear Camera Performance
The 50MP main camera captures good-quality images in daylight conditions, with natural color tones and decent dynamic range. Close-up shots are quite detailed, and autofocus works well in most scenarios. However, low-light photography is average — images tend to lose sharpness and introduce noise, especially indoors or at night.
The 2MP macro lens is mostly a filler and doesn’t add much value. It requires perfect lighting and steady hands to produce usable results.
Front Camera
The 16MP front-facing camera delivers decent selfies in good lighting. Skin tones are fairly accurate, and portrait mode does a good job at edge detection. In low-light or indoor settings, selfies lose some clarity and sharpness, but overall, it performs well for video calls and social media use.
Video Recording
- Rear Camera: Supports 1080p at 30fps. Videos look natural in daylight but lack stabilization, leading to slightly shaky footage.
- Front Camera: Also supports 1080p at 30fps. Suitable for casual vlogging or video chats, though detail and dynamic range are limited compared to higher-end models.
- There’s no 4K video recording, slow-motion, or advanced stabilization features, which is expected at this price point.
Performance
The Motorola G34 5G is a mid-range player that offers performance and price, all expected to be in balance here. Driving the phone is none other than a Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 5G processor which, as we learned from devices in this league do offer respectable performance.
The g34 5G isn't groundbreaking in any way, but with either a baseline of 4GB or the slightly more comfortable 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM on board, it can comfortably handle day-to-day tasks. Web browsing between apps, and social-media feed-management is seamless. It will soar through those basic productivity apps you might be using (word processors, spreadsheets, email clients).
This display also delivers a 120Hz refresh rate for better-in-class gaming visuals and touch responsiveness. This isn't quite the ultra-high refresh rates of flagship phones, but it is a great feature to see at this price.
Software
The Motorola G34 5G is outfitted with a close to-stock Android experience that has been typical of Moto phones. This strategy provides clean and user-friendly interface, lack of bloatware with optimal UX. The original software looks simple, clutter-free and overall smooth however there are few more things which adds to performance of the handset.
My UX (My User Experience): going the personal-ish route
Other features of the phone include a series of customization options courtesy to Motorola's My UX layer. Users are able to custom home screen layout, theme and icon packs. Furthermore, the Moto app offers a number of great gestures and functions that make for an intuitive experience. We are constantly developing and introducing new features such as fast capture, power touch, three-finger screenshot, lift to unlock along with flip for DND which helps process in improved user convenience & productivity.
Software Updates
We assume the Motorola G34 5G will have different information regarding software so some of these details might change depending upon your region, however overall just like their supply chain Moto generally deliver decent and quick with updates. Such updates bring new functionality, performance improvements and security boosts.
This means you get the best of both worlds, with near-stock Android performance and My UX's plentiful customization features delivering a great overall software experience on the Motorola G34 5G. This focus is evident from the use of performance optimization and user-friendly features guaranteeing a fluidic operational output. It might not be loaded with all features found in some of the higher priced flagship devices but it does pass muster for its price point.
Battery life
Now when it comes to battery this time around the Motorola G34 5G packs a huge in comparison, I mean for mid-range device.
Over the course of a typical 24-hour period, it's possible that power users will need to juice up the G34 5G at some point. And, processes such as intensive gaming or continuous video steaming or using phone a hotspot can kill the battery. That being said, 5000mAh is still a great base and will mean you won't have to worry mid-day about battery.
Charging Speed
However, the charging speed can be considered for better performance. For its asking price, the G34 5G packs an 18W charger which is pretty much par for the course in this segment but lacks behind some competitors with their rapid charging speeds. It charges fairly slowly, and it could take longer than users are willing to have the device out of commission.
Price in India
| Variant | Price (INR) |
| 8GB + 128GB | ₹9,999 |
| 4GB + 128GB | ₹8,999 |
