Reviews for the Motorola Moto G37

72.7% The predecessor might actually be the better choice – Motorola Moto G37 Smartphone Review | Notebookcheck
The Motorola Moto G37 is an affordable 5G smartphone that stands out with its sleek design, solid battery life, and reliable Wi-Fi. However, our test revealed significant cost-cutting measures compared to the Moto G35—read here to find out why its predecessor is almost the better choice.
73% Motorola Moto G37 Review: Basic Moto
Source: Htxt Africa English
Motorola still has some ways to go to catch up with the number of smartphone makers currently selling entry-level devices in South Africa, but if it is capable of bringing more options like the Moto G37 5G into the country, it will quickly start to garner a name for itself locally. The fact that Motorola can cram so much into the 6.6″ body of this phone for only R4k is noteworthy, and in terms of delivering a signature Moto experience from a software perspective, it ticks all the boxes.

70% Motorola Moto G37 review: An eye-catching budget phone
Source: Tech Advisor English
The Moto G37 continues the series’ trend of delivering a solid smartphone at a reasonable price, although these days the G series doesn’t quite offer the same bang for your buck. Yet if you’re after a large-screen phone with solid battery life, stereo speakers, a headphone jack and expandable storage, the G37 is one of the very few that offer all this at a sub £220/$300 price.
