Moto G04, G24 and G34: a burst of low-cost smartphones from Motorola

While waiting for its next Razr, Motorola, in the fold of Lenovo for ten years already, is enriching its range of affordable mobiles by launching four smartphones at very low prices. From the Moto G04 to the G34, including the Moto G24, we take stock of these new models which could allow the brand to exceed the milestone of 5% of terminals sold in France.

Moto G34: 5G at a very low price

Sold for €179, it is undoubtedly the Moto G34 which offers the most interesting offer, while sporting a design common to the other models available. The device is entitled to a 6.5-inch LCD screen, whose refresh rate reaches 120 Hz. To power this 5G model, we find a well-known SoC: the Snapdragon 695 5G from Qualcomm, accompanied by 4 GB of RAM (+4 GB of virtual RAM) and 128 GB of storage, expandable up to 1 TB via a microSD card.

The rest of its technical sheet is agreed: the smartphone is equipped with a 5000 mAh battery compatible with 20 W charging and a dual back photo module of 50 Mpx (wide-angle) and 2 Mpx (macro). We note the presence of a 3.5 mm mini-jack socket, a connection that is still found on entry-level devices, in a smartphone with a weight limited to 179 g.

Moto G24 and G24 Power: simplicity or autonomy

Available from €149, the Moto G24 is sold in several versions: 4 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage for the standard G24, and 4 GB/64 GB or 8 GB/256 GB for the Power version. . Compared to the G34, these smartphones make a few compromises: while they both have a 6.5-inch screen, this goes to a refresh rate of 90 Hz.

The standard version is equipped with a 5000 mAh battery compatible with 15 W charging, while the Power model chooses endurance with a 6000 mAh accumulator and 30 W charging to win in speed. Under the hood, both hide a Helio G85 chip from MediaTek. Their back photo block is identical to that of the G34.

Moto G04: the essentials at low prices

The Moto G04 completes the range. Its technical sheet is quite light, which explains its price of €129. With a 6.5-inch HD+ LCD screen and 90 Hz, this smartphone uses a Unisoc T606 processor, which is found among others in the Realme C35. Featuring 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage, expandable up to 1 TB, this mobile, like the G24, is only compatible with 4G networks. On the back, we find a single 16 Mpx photo module, the bare minimum, and under the hood, a 5000 mAh battery compatible, like that of the standard G24, with charging at 15 W.

Finally, note that these four models run Android 14, and are delivered with a case and a compatible charging block.
