Motorola has introduced the Moto G30 on the US market, by way of Amazon.com. This version of the phone comes with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage, as well as the 6.5-inch 90Hz display found in units from other regions. It is priced at US$300, but will not ship until July 2021.

The Moto G30 is one of Motorola's new low- to mid-tier phones for 2021. It runs on the Snapdragon 662 processor, has a 5000mAh battery and quad rear cameras with a 64MP primary sensor. It also now has US-specific listings on Amazon.com.

The G30 - which is also available in Europe - got a decent reception in our review, although we found its 6.5-inch HD+ IPS display to be relatively dim and subject to PWM. Then again, its 90Hz refresh rate might offset these disadvantages somewhat. Now, more customers may be able to judge this for themselves.

The "Made for US" variant has 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage, and, despite its new name, lacks CDMA support for Verizon or Sprint networks. It has been priced at $299.99 on the same platform, and is not available to ship until July 2021.

This is a little odd, as there are 6GB RAM/128GB storage options (and also GSM-only) out there in other regions. Units of the Moto G30 with those specs are also available on Amazon right now for US$230 right now.
