While many manufacturers are waiting for the beginning of next year to unveil their novelty, Motorola preferred to get ahead. The Chinese firm has just presented the Moto X40 and Moto G53.
With the G53 model, the brand wants to position itself at the very affordable entry level. Above all, it highlights its 5G compatibility, even if the technical sheet seems paradoxically less good than that of the Moto G52 and G51 which preceded it.

Here we exchange the 6.6-inch 90 Hz Amoled screen of the Moto G52 for a 6.5-inch 120 Hz LCD equivalent which only displays in HD + definition. A rather strange choice given that even the Moto G51 opted for Full HD +. The smartphone houses an 8-megapixel sensor (compared to 16-megapixel last year) in a central punch. The 3.5 mm jack port has been retained.
Under the hood, the firm announces the presence of a Qualcomm chip, without however specifying the exact model. It should be paired with 4/8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of expandable storage via microSD. We can expect a SoC with limited performance, especially in games, but which has the advantage of being energy efficient.

Like most entry-level devices, battery life should be very solid. The model still relies on a 5000mAh battery, but the charging speed has been increased from 30W to 18W. It also comes with a 10W charger.
On the back, we find the same main sensor of 50 megapixels (f / 1.8) as the previous generation, accompanied by a macro sensor of 2 megapixels. On the other hand, we note that the ultra-wide-angle module has disappeared. Both front and back, the photo experience has obviously been scaled back.

The Moto G53 is now on pre-order in China for around €120 (excluding tax) in its 4/128 GB version and around €150 excluding tax in 8/128 GB. The price will be higher in France, but it could become the one of the cheapest 5G smartphones on the market. No international launch date has yet been announced.
Looking at the technical sheet, we understand that Motorola preferred to remove certain features to be able to integrate 5G compatibility. It remains to be seen whether this will be enough to convince.
