Motorola moto g37 launches in Europe with big battery, smooth display, and rugged build at an affordable price
Motorola has officially announced the moto g37, the most affordable of three new moto g handsets revealed today alongside the moto g47 and moto g37 power. The phone slots in at the budget end of the lineup with a familiar formula, 5G, a 120 Hz screen, a large battery, and entry-level durability claims.
The 6.67-inch panel is an LCD running at Full HD+ resolution and 120 Hz, protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 7i. Audio is handled by stereo speakers tuned for Dolby Atmos and wired Hi-Res Audio, alongside a 3.5 mm headphone jack, increasingly rare in 2026.
Powering the phone is the MediaTek Dimensity 6300, a 6 nm octa-core SoC clocked at 2.4 GHz with an Arm Mali-G57 MP2 GPU. Physical memory is limited to 4 GB of LPDDR4X RAM, with no 8 GB tier available. Motorola advertises an “up to 12 GB” figure, but that includes up to 8 GB of RAM Boost virtual memory, which uses part of the phone’s internal storage. Buyers can choose between 64 GB, 128 GB, and 256 GB of UFS 2.2 storage, expandable via microSD up to 1 TB.
The moto g37 likely succeeds the moto g35 5G, which launched in Europe at €199 in September 2024, making the new model about 25 percent more expensive year-over-year. The upgrade story is mixed. Notebookcheck’s SoC database lists the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 with an average Geekbench 6.6 score of 769 points in single-core and 1,979 points in multi-core testing, while the outgoing Unisoc T8100/T760 posts 738 and 2,168 points, respectively. That points to a small single-core gain but a multi-core regression on paper. In terms of core layout, the Dimensity 6300 uses two Cortex-A76 performance cores, six Cortex-A55 efficiency cores, and a Mali-G57 MC2 GPU, while the Unisoc T8100/T760 used four Cortex-A76 performance cores, four Cortex-A55 efficiency cores, and a Mali-G57 MC4 GPU.
Motorola has also reshuffled the hardware around the chip. Compared with the moto g35 5G, the moto g37 loses the ultrawide rear camera, and drops the selfie camera from 16 MP to 8 MP. In return, buyers get a tougher build package with Gorilla Glass 7i, IP64 protection, and MIL-STD-810H certification. The phone also ships with Android 16 and adds Google features such as Gemini and Circle to Search.
The rear camera setup is essentially a single shooter: a 50 MP f/1.8 unit with PDAF and quad-pixel binning to a 12.5 MP output, accompanied by a 2-in-1 ambient/flicker light sensor. The selfie camera is an 8 MP f/2.0 fixed-focus module. Both top out at 2K 30 fps video.
The phone packs a 5,200 mAh battery, which is the typical capacity. Motorola guarantees a minimum rated capacity of 5,100 mAh on every unit, the figure required for EU energy labelling. The phone measures 166.23 x 76.50 x 7.85 mm, weighs 191 g, and is rated IP64, splash resistant only, not submersible, with MIL-STD-810H certification. Connectivity covers 5G sub-6 GHz, Wi-Fi 5 (802.11 a/b/g/n/ac), Bluetooth 5.4, NFC, FM radio, and a USB Type-C 2.0 port. Software is Android 16 layered with Motorola's Hello UX, Moto Secure, Gemini, and Circle to Search.
The moto g37 is priced at €249, or around $290, and will be available in Pantone Impenetrable, Pantone Nautical Blue, and Pantone Fuchsia Red. Motorola has not specified an on-sale date or whether the phone will be released outside Europe.
