after using this phone over 2 years now I can only say, yes it hasn't got the best camera (not one Moto I owned had), can be a bit sluggish at times, but it's been over 2 years and i can't count how many times it fell down to the ground, many times screen down, and the only thing that's damaged is the case, screen may be bit scratched but it's a whole piece. while my missus pixel 6 pro with awesome camera and stuff got the screen shattered on the second fall, so you know, maybe I'm just lucky, but I think Motos not being the best phones out there, they're decent enough for the price, at least for me

    The Motorola G10 get really sluggish if you have too many apps installed. What "too many" means is not readily available, but it's a number that doesn't give the Samsung S10 Lite any pause. I may be down to the amount of RAM, but I'm just guessing. The symptom that leads me to think this is that the GUI becomes unresponsive for many seconds, but if there's an animation or video already in progress, it doesn't get affected at all.

Other 100%Chinese company phones cannot be trusted, in these times. Lenovo appear to back off from Xiaomi/Huawei tactics. Samsung, Motorola, iPhone SE - nothing else worth my consideration.

        Don't buy a Motorola because they will put you on a spam call list where you can't block the number by the normal android process. I am sure they make money doing this.

          The lackluster camera of the OnePlus
          The realme is better still you have to get used to color us

          That's the deal the moto G10 is easy experience out of the box and believe me is still a great easy phone to use and works like a charm.

              my g2 and g3 were quite good at getting updates...but others were every 3 months if lucky.

              where as my samsungs and nokias had very timely updates , the oldest current samsung I use is a galaxy s9, and nokia was a 7 plus and a 7.1....but again it could be region specific

                the camera resolution issue from switching between ultra wide and standard lens can be fixed or bypassed by using the pro mode, the issue doesn't seem to be in this mode.
                in pro mode I can switched between ultra wide and standard, and the resolution changes to the correct 12 or 8 mp respectively.
                plus the lag issue when hdr is activated in the auto mode, doesn't appear to be hardware based as I have used adobe light with hdr and raw capture at the same time, no lag between pressing the shutter and actual image capture.
                plus gcam works with no lag issues, I used 8.1 version by BSG sourced via xda.

                So I am guessing the few issues on the moto g10 photo capture are software based, not hardware.

                images come out surprisingly crisp if given the time .... I only used gcam to see if there were transferable issues or any image improvements , but I intend to work on getting the best out of the stock camera and lightroom as they are official apps

                  Very happy with motorola. From experience I know point blank from owning Huawei that motorola is so much more reliable and less cliches. Motorola is a good phone. Samsung? Don't know, anyone know anything about marketing and money. Explains the outcome of samsung and iphone.

                    for me any phone that has a chin is ugly. I don't like the notch either, but that is less of a problem

                      Really like Motorola phones but no compass so bought a Samsung A20 couple years back. No regrets.

                          I bought one and tried to return it 2 days later, but could not due to Mertro's policy. I don't like My Motorola Phone one bit. It's hard to navigate, apps are one endless jumbled scroll. I could go on, but sufice it to say, I'm very unhappy and $250 in the hole

                              One thing to note about Motorola is their updating. They still send regular security and OS updates to my Moto 7, which is aging a little now. I suspect other brands may not be so supportive, but I would be interested to know.

                                With all these great phones that had been released recently, gsmarena decided to do a review for Moto G10 probably just because it's from Motorola . If we are in next month I will think gsmarena is trying to do April Fool.
