Motorola Moto G52 Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Motorola Moto G52 - the same as everyone else?

Motorola smartphones have improved with each generation in terms of design, performance and functionality. However, the current economic crisis and the accompanying increase in prices for components has forced manufacturers to seriously reconsider the concept of development. So, the hero of today's review is rather a simplified version of its predecessor.

The appearance of the novelty, if it has changed, is quite insignificant. The design of the photomodules, the lateral location of the fingerprint scanner, and the entire front panel were copied. However, the decrease in the diagonal of the screen and the dimensions of the case had a positive effect on the ergonomics of the device. Perhaps the only cardinal improvement in comparison with the previous model will be an AMOLED display with a significantly larger margin of brightness. FullHD+ resolution, 90Hz image refresh rate, coupled with the presence of an oleophobic coating, allow you to enjoy both watching videos and ordinary web surfing. At the same time, DC Dimming, tuned to combat the PWM effect, reduces eye discomfort during prolonged use of an Android smartphone.

But the technical characteristics will already be a reason for frustration. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 CPU has lost support for 5G frequencies and part of the power, which is why it will not be possible to plunge into the worlds of resource-intensive games. At the same time, even undemanding applications do not differ in launch speed, lags are noticeable when scrolling web pages. 4GB/6GB of RAM and Adreno 610 GPU don't improve the situation. But at the same time, the processor is ready to boast of remarkable energy efficiency, which, coupled with a 5000mAh battery, means autonomy at the level of two days of using the gadget. 128GB of ROM is allocated for data storage, there is also a microSD card slot .

The trio of 50-, 8- and 2-megapixel cameras is still topped by the Samsung JN1 sensor, so don't expect flagship image detail. These are budget modules designed for daytime photo shoots, the evening shots from which will upset you with noise and blur. Such words are even more applicable to the captured FullHD-video. There is no stereo sound, but there is an audio jack , so you can always enjoy your favorite wired headphones. NFC contactless payments, Android 12 expand the list of phone advantages, but not the most humane price and a number of controversial points still do not provide an opportunity to unambiguously recommend a phablet for purchase.
