Joaquim, 17 Feb 2023Moto G32 doesn't have NFC !!!!!!!!I am thinking of buying one, and definitely need NFC. Which country are you in?
The Motorola website says: NFC: Europe & APEM Yes.
I'm guessing that the 64GB version does not have NFC.

The first Motorola in the house that we bought, as we are Huawei and Samsung fans. I bought it to replace my mother's old Samsung phone (J4+ that she used for 4 years). I would have liked to get Huawei for my mother, but because of the problems with Google services, here we are at Motorola.
A good choice but also a bad one, I will write below why.
First of all, the phone comes without a charger, in the box you find a USB to C cable, the key for the SIM card, some instructions for the first start, the case and the phone.
The menu of this phone is damn complicated, hard to understand, with many useless apps installed that you have to disable/uninstall, then other apps you need can't be found in the phone and you have to search through play store to download.
I didn't find the "photo gallery" or "file manager" on the phone to access certain files, which is why I had to look in the play store for alternative applications full of ads or that you can't use at full capacity because a lot is required paid to access additional features.
It says it has fast charging at 30W, but what if you don't have a suitable charger? Until I look for a charger that fits it, we use a 25W Samsung super fast charger. I even have two pieces, I gave one to my mother until I buy something suitable.
At 21:46 - 18% battery percentage. At 00:30 when I give this update - 100% battery percentage. Okay, I admit that I kept buttoning the phone while it was charging. But I do the same when I charge the Samsung A71 using the same charger, but it doesn't charge that hard.
I can't even use the cable they sent in the box at the moment because the only fast charging charger is the one from Samsung compatible only with the C plug cable on both ends. Until you find something compatible, you fiddle with what you have on hand. If you have...
You don't even find headphones in the box.
The camera is not bright at all, especially at night. At night, I am not satisfied with the way the photos are taken, the images are not clear, they are seen in the fog. But for this money you don't really have much to ask for.
The Motorola screen is a bit of a pain for the eyes, especially if you switch from Super AMOLED Plus to IPS LCD. But with time I think you get used to it. The same happened when I switched from IPS-LCD to Super AMOLED Plus. At least the Motorola screen responds well to touches, there is no lag. Unfortunately, it doesn't have Gorilla Glass either.
Instead, on the hardware side, it is to be appreciated. 6 GB RAM, decent processor and an extraordinary internal memory. In an Antutu test, the phone scored almost identically to the Samsung Galaxy A71: 270346 (test conducted in 2021), compared to the Motorola Moto G32: 253605. I did not test the phone in heavy games (Call of Duty mobile, Apex Legends, PUBG), but don't expect it to run perfectly. And my Samsung A71 still hangs in games. And don't forget that the Motorola Moto G32 is still a budget phone. I also found an interesting feature called RAM Boost that lets you expand your RAM by 1.5GB.
The fingerprint sensor works well, responds well to touches and I like that it is positioned on the edge of the phone and not in the screen.
The notification bar is nonsense, and being used to the Samsung notification bar (and my mother, for that matter), I wasted 30 minutes just looking for where you can set the phone to silent or vibrate. I finally found it by pressing the volume down/up keys (from here you can set silent mode etc). Until you get used to the menu it is very complicated. Only the operating system from Apple and Window Phone phones (in their time) gave me so much trouble. I didn't think that in the year 2023 a budget phone with android would give me so many headaches.
Otherwise, the Motorola Moto G32 is a budget phone that has both qualities and many flaws.
Score 7/10 from me.
Sorry for my bad english.

For 169€ is a great deal
FHD+ screen 90hz, very good under natural profile settings
Very good stereo speakers Dolby atmos certified
Bloatfree user UI experience
Fairly light 184g for a 5000mah battery phone
Fast 33W charge (even if charger is not included)
Dedicated microSD slot, with dual sim
It´s a much better phone than last year G31 or even the G22, a true G series phone like they´ve done in the past
9/10, because charger is not included

Absolutely great experience!
I need phone, networking, podcasts, music player, no worry battery.
It has it all!
My hands are always itching to change a phone.
Not this one.
Softfare feels like pixel, battery feels like redmi 9t.
Great!

I'm really satisfied with this phone, one of the best I ever had for my needs.
Battery life is great. Plus it comes with Dolby Atmos and stereo speakers.
90hz screen at this price is also a steal.
Clean software experience, this moves much better than any other Android phones I had before who had their crappy UI over it.
The cameras are okay, enough for what I need them to.
I have the 6/128 version and it's great that it comes with a dedicated SD slot, because I also use dual sim + SD card.

This phone is awful, absolutely horrendous signal strength on both 4G and 3G. It gets either 1 bar or no signal, in the exact same location that all my old phones get full signal. Avoid at all costs.

Adi, 08 Nov 2022I bought this phone, it's fine except for the camera, ... moreMake sure HDR is enabled before clicking photo in day time, or use pro mode to take pictures.
In night time, make sure HDR is enabled and set auto flash mode.
Try to click pictures in 3:4 ratio, if you wants to get higher quality photos.

This is the 1st Motorola phone sold without charger (at least in Europe)! I hope it's the last one, too.
But on the other hand, this is the 1st Motorola phone after probably 2+ years which is true dual SIM + microSD card phone.

AnalogueX, 26 Dec 2022Would this work with any 33W charger? As long as is QC 3.0 with Power Delivery not some propertiary BS.

cristian, 31 Oct 2022has anyone noticed some kind of shadow between the selfie c... moreYes! I noticed it as soon as I turned it on. Most noticeable on a white screen. As you say, looks like a shadow. I reckon it could even be an optical illusion caused by the very black selfie camera against the very thin section of bright screen above it, because at some angles it almost seems not be there. Quite odd. Looked as straight on, you can usually see it.
Overall, a really good phone for the money. Excellent battery life and fast charging, excellent sound quality (especially on the custom Atmos setting and boosted in the bass frequencies). Screen is very good too. 680 processor is more than good enough for me. The only slight fault I have found is the volume rocker buttons are a bit too stiff (though they may loosen up over time).
