60% Motorola Moto G53 5G review
Source: Tech Advisor
The Moto G53 is another perfectly functional phone from Motorola, but its hardware doesn’t feel quite as well thought through as previous entries. What use is a 120Hz refresh rate when the hardware isn’t quite up to the task of outputting consistently smoothly? Especially when that display has a sub-optimal 720p resolution and mediocre colour accuracy. Another slightly superfluous inclusion is 5G connectivity. Sure, it’s a nice thing to have, but at this end of the market, it typically comes at the expense of more useful features, like a Full HD display or a superior processor. The main 50Mp camera can hold its own in very good lighting, but it suffers in tricky conditions, and there’s no ultrawide option, just a pointless macro lens. Motorola’s clean Android UI is here to save the day, as always, and will always be a point of distinction over better-specced Xiaomi rivals. But I can’t escape the feeling that Motorola needs to focus its affordable phone efforts a little and hone in on what really matters.

75% Moto G53 5G smartphone review: Motorola, wtf?
Source: Root Nation
Moto G53 showed average results. On the one hand, we have excellent battery life, a beautiful design, a screen with an extended 120Hz refresh rate and narrow bezels, and pure modern Android. But the screen is a prehistoric HD IPS, the cameras are simplistic, performance is poor, charging is only 10W.... Motorola has sacrificed too much to support 5G in this model. And the worst part is that the G53 is losing out to the Moto G series smartphones that came out in 2022 (G52, G72, G82, etc.), not to mention the competition from other companies.

There is plenty to like about the Moto G53. Like I said earlier, I am really glad that Motorola decided to opt for a very high display refresh rate with lower resolution than the other way around. The camera is good enough for everyday use and taking quick snapshots. Yes, video stabilization is quite bad, but we have to remember the low price Motorola is selling this phone for. To put it simply, the Moto G53 is nothing special but it covers all the basics that you would expect to be covered for a really budget-friendly phone. As long as you are well aware of its setbacks and can live with them, you will likely be happy with your purchase.

Motorola Moto G53 hands-on: First impressions with a promising budget smartphone
Source: Pocket Lint
The Motorola Moto G53 has plenty of promise for its price. There's a lovely lightweight design with a big display, a decent sized battery and a good camera spec. We have high hopes the Moto G53 will be a solid performer and a great option to choose if your budget is under £/$200. We still need to test this device in full for our final verdict but for now, things are looking good.

The Moto G53 5G is not a particularly exciting device. It offers a decent overall package with things like stereo speakers, solid build quality, a 120Hz refresh rate with great management and a big battery with excellent battery life. Its clean Android 13 OS is also snappy and imbued with a whole bunch of useful yet non-intrusive Moto extras to enjoy. We do not doubt that the phone will serve less-demanding users well. However, there is no point beating about the bush - the Moto G53 5G is not a great deal on the current market. For whatever reason, Motorola simply decided to downgrade too much about the G5X line in order to accommodate 5G connectivity. We just need to pit the G53 to its G52 predecessor to quickly see some of these major downgrades, like the inclusion of a rather unimpressive 720p LCD instead of a 1080p OLED panel, the lack of an ultrawide camera and the relatively low performance of the Snapdragon 480+ chipset. Some downgrades are downright perplexing, like the decision to drop the 30W fast charging and replace it with basic 10W charging, which is almost extinct even at this price point in 2023. As we already mentioned, for a less demanding user, perhaps with a nice contract deal from your carrier, the Moto G53 can be perfectly satisfactory. However, if are considering the retail price sticker, we would probably keep looking since better phones are easy to come by.

Motorola Moto G53 5G | Unboxing & Full Tour
Source: Tech Spurt
Unboxing Motorola's Moto G53 5G, a £189 budget smartphone packing a 50MP camera, solid battery life and a stock Android 13 experience. This hands-on review of the Moto G53 5G shows off the gaming performance, tours the Motorola app and tests the camera to see if it's one of the best affordable phones of 2023. This budget mobile is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 480 Plus, with 4GB RAM, so it's not exactly a powerhouse. Everyday running is fine but gamers will be limited to the likes of PubG and CODM. On the flip side, the Motorola Moto G53 5G can keep going all day with excellent battery life. And I love the vanilla Android 13 UI, plus those bonus Moto features. Camera fans will have to be aware of this blower's optical limitations. The 50MP camera sensor is great for daylight snaps and can shoot a decent home movie. However, in more ambient light you'll get grainy results while moving subjects can often ruin a photo. So are you tempted by the Moto G53 5G? Check out my unboxing and review of the Moto G73 to see how this more premium budget smartphone compares!

Motorola Moto G53 Smartphone Review
Source: OI Spice Tech News
The Motorola Moto G53 falls in the entry-level segment, but at the same time, it looks like a value-for-money deal if you are looking for a decent phone for calling, social media use, a little bit of photography, and battery life. It’s a complete combination with 5G connectivity on top. Overall, if you prefer stock android more than custom skins, then this device can provide those attributes. But, we won’t be denying that the phone has an underperforming chipset, average camera results if you want to take selfies, and a mediocre charging speed. In that case, you can look for an alternative option would be Samsung Galaxy A14 5G would be a decent option since it offers some amazing perks under the hood. But it won’t give the stock android experience. So, make the final deal that fits your needs.

Comment

Qualcomm Adreno 619: Integrated (in the Snapdragon 750G) graphics card based on the Adreno 600 architecture. The performance is a lot better than the old Adreno 612.

Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.

SD 480+: Lower mainstream octa-core with two big ARM Cortex-A76 cores at up to 2.2 GHz and six small ARM Cortex-A55 SoC cores clocked at up to 1.8 GHz. Furthermore, integrates and the Adreno 619 GPU, a LPDDR4x-2133 memory controller as well as an X51 5G modem.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.

6.50":

Only a few smartphones have larger screens.
Large display-sizes allow higher resolutions. So, details like letters are bigger. On the other hand, the power consumption is lower with small screen diagonals and the devices are smaller, more lightweight and cheaper.

0.183 kg:

Only few smartphones are more lightweight than this.

Motorola: The original company Motorola Inc was split in 2011. Motorola Mobility got the smartphone range and was taken over by Google in 2012 and by Lenovo in 2014. The Motorola smartphone brand continues for the time being. There are still a lot of reviews on Motorola Mobiles with average ratings.

64.78%: Such a bad rating is rare. There exist hardly any notebooks, which are rated worse.
