Motorola Moto G53 review

15 March 2023


Sort by:

I love for instance (being non biased towards Motorola) the number of flagship devices that are using 120hz screens while Motorola likes the 165hz and 144hz. Get the processor specs for instance of the edge 30 ultra/fusion it's like you've got the edge.
Even this burst specs sheet & it's an affordable device. If you have been overseas recently and lost your midrange flagship I suggest you Use the g53 to your advantage.
I saw the 480+ and thought it was a bit aaaah but it's come to the party.
Everything about those devices had the competition screaming blue with envy. The only fault I can make is that reds get flushed out and detracted away from what was otherwise very good cameras. I mean devices.
Then I turned my attention to the edge 20 fusion for research purposes. I loved having work for me a 108mp camera. More of those please.
My dependance and need for trustworthiness was paramount and I wasn't disappointed. Save for the red flowers I wanted to capture.

Those three were very decent devices. Now here's a pitch.

Well i had terrible misfortunes the last few months ago before I went and while I was overseas. I lost my phone and everything attached to the number:very important emails accounts and emails too. I have recovered 1 of my old email accounts, and lost my contacts information etc. I need my name cleared and approved for a SIM Google integration could be a little more accessible to the box owners of a device. Maybe have some overseas inclusions to losing devices while not in your home. I myself am getting my side hustle of temporary devices being loaned to someone who's lost their device.

Here at Rustic Multimedia etc
We're doing the best to make help readily available. I've got a few more people on the Motorola board. I'm just waiting for corporate to call....

In the interim I'm putting my trust on a budget breaker to the test. Trusting my very active lifestyle to the Motorola G53 5G.

It's more impressive than it sounds. Just another device. Well you could say that. But it's just as well as what it can do with its quad core 2.2Hz processor. As in the more affordable devices have really stepped up to the plate. I am genuinely amazed.

The boxes get ticks.
Call quality. Camera performance. Speakers. Refresh rates. Before going overseas I purchased multiple Motorola e13s to give away because I had an assignment. And they're great if not a little slower. These gseries are awesome backup devices. No these have really come to the party. Having lost almost all my photos and emails and accounts access because Google (not pointing fingers for the ones that will point back at me) is a little insecure about safety and ir shows.

{I'll explain the merry-go-round because I can't shake the feeling that I won't see the edge 30 fusion again}. That was my device of choice. It's not over priced but is also very different toe the edge 20 fusion, 30 ultra and all due respect this phone.(It's a week old and it's proving it's worthwhile by being a stellar device. Everything about its effectiveness is specifically designed to be a helpful aid for the interim users. You won't find of any company phones of these calibres. It's truly Next level.

Before the merry-go-round I'll explain the differences in price range.

So e13 5G is a highly capable device that has a 90hz screen behind it and a beast at $139 but came without any extras in the box. Sure enough they were all greatfully received but I was told by the guy that gets a commission (I don't)- and no onus on Motorola- bru. I had to buy adaptors and cables.

G53 5G is able to hold off the threat of the pack up to about $400 dollar devices it's competitive but this at $230 is a really good by. Beautiful camera.

The G84 at $400 has a massively improved hardware set either a nice CPU and is fluid. but it's like I'm using the G53. There's no real noticeable change until you see the colour pop on the G84 5G.

Now at $500 the edge 20 fusion is old but it's still being used with gusto overseas( I gave this one away) but it had a MediaTek chip which is really respectable. The 108mp camera was a real treat. I found it to be a little unrefined. I found the screen to be a tad too delicate as well as best colour screen.

Then there's the $900aud edge 30 fusion which simply simply put. I'm not getting it back. 3Ghz. 144hz. Great little triple camera setup. Dolby Sounds. This bests most flagships today. Excluding camera resolution. But I did have 8k recording. Many device firsts there.
In short the sooner we get to talking the easier communication will be.

            720p is a plus if you want your phone to last longer . but whats inexcusable in the contrast and max brightness ratings . Nobody wants 120hz rr on a budget phone . 90hz is more than enough

                      I like. Stereo speakers? Nice. A phone jack that I see as necessary means of taking 5G away from your head/body tells me someone at Motorola is thinking. Big battery? Super. A great candidate for a kid if you teach him/her to use the wired headset.

                        All OLED displays use low-frequency PWM. I am glad that Motorola is returning to the use of IPS displays, which do use PWM, then it is high-frequency, if it is used at all.

                            Centurion, 17 Mar 2023Not really.. The G53 starts with Android 13 - Nokia with A... moreAgreed, but I don't think that's enough to justify spending $120-150 extra.
                            Lenovo would abandon software upgrades to this phone since their intentions don't seem to change

                              Nice phone

                                Minu, 17 Mar 2023Save your money and get a Nokia G50 instead for $150Not really..
                                The G53 starts with Android 13 - Nokia with Android 11
                                G53 has more ppi, better Display and is smaller
                                Bluetooth 5.1 vs 5.0
                                Stereo Speakers vs Mono
                                8 GB vs 6 GB RAM
                                Better Camera / Features

                                  It's a disgrace to see a new model with a soc inferior to its predecessor. Lenovo is sinking Motorola in the trash.

                                  It should be a device with sd 7 gen 1
