Motorola Moto S30 Pro Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Motorola Moto S30 Pro - an actual way to save money

A significant part of Android smartphone lovers will agree with the fact that it is very pleasant to buy a phone with a great combination of price and quality without overpaying for unnecessary functionality. It is to this category of devices that the hero of today's review belongs.

The appearance of the novelty is close to that of expensive flagships. It is hard not to notice the branded outlines of the PV module and the logo on the rear panel, the colors of the glass cases familiar to fans of the brand and the rather thin display frames. Of course, if desired, you can find traces of savings. So, the edging, although disguised as metal, is actually made of plastic. The 6.55-inch AMOLED display came out high-quality and balanced. FullHD+ resolution is sufficient for picture clarity and energy efficiency, and the brightness and contrast parameters do not fail even in the direct rays of the hot summer sun. The AMOLED screen did not do without such competitive advantages as an image refresh rate of 144Hz, an excellent oleophobic coating and an accurate built-in fingerprint scanner.

To the technical characteristics, if it is possible to express claims, then only to the heating of the Qualcomm Snapdrgon 888+ CPU and its throttling. However, combining the chipset with 8GB / 12GB and the Adreno 660 video adapter helps not to notice such a problem in games, because even in the resource-intensive Genshin Impact, the framerate almost does not drop during long gaming sessions. Only the palms will be uncomfortable from the excess heat of the monoblock. A small 4400mAh battery by today's standards will be enough for about a day of active use of the phablet, but the developer endowed the battery with 68W fast charging. To set the full capacity, a modest 20-25 minutes at the outlet are needed. The size of the internal memory varies from 128 to 512GB depending on the version of the Android device, but we would not recommend purchasing less than 256GB for storing applications, messenger information and other things.

50-, 8- and 2-megapixel photomodules led by OmniVision OV50A did not do without optical stabilization, which has a positive effect on the detailing of evening frames and the stability of the video sequence recorded in 4K resolution. The color rendition of the received content will not be criticized either. There is stereo sound, but it does not set records for volume or balance. On the other hand, the speakers are fine for watching YouTube video content. Contactless NFC payments, support for 5G frequencies, a reasonable price tag allow you to close your eyes to minor flaws in the exterior and autonomy and the low availability of the device for the CIS countries and advise it for purchase.
