100% Motorola Moto G54 5G review: A strong return to form
Source: Expert Reviews English
The stingy plans for OS updates and essentially pointless low-light photography threaten to derail the G54 5G, but even with those factors in play, there are few, if any, competitors that offer the same kind of value that we’ve got here. The display, while still just an IPS panel, is of a class that isn’t common below the £200 mark, performance is punching well above its weight and the cameras get some solid improvements over the G53 5G. Throw in the extra RAM and storage, as well as the £10 price cut, and the Motorola Moto G54 5G isn’t just the best cheap Moto in a while, it’s also one of the best-value handsets on the market.

88% Ausdroid Reviews: Moto G54 5G – where budget price meets high end performance
Source: Ausdroid English
Taking everything into account, the Moto G54 5G does offer some great features and specs from a good user experience, to the main 50MP camera and great battery life at a very reasonable price. That being said its not all sunshine and rainbows. I would like to see the 2MP macro lens with something more appealing either a ultra wide or extra lens to really make the pics pop even more, to support more than one major OS update but at this price point that can be slightly forgiven. In all honesty, the Moto G54 5G is a good all rounder at a sub $300 device and for those who don want or need all the bells and whistles, or looking to get their first ever Android device, this would be a recommendation. The Moto G54 5G is available in midnight blue and indigo blue and will be available through the Motorola website alongside retail partners JB Hi-Fi, Harvey Norman and Officeworks for $299.

94% Motorola Moto G54 5G review: try and find a better phone for the money
Source: Techradar English
Motorola had a disappointing outing with the previous G53. Yes it was certainly affordable, but too many corners had been cut to reach its low asking price. Somehow, the smartphone stalwart has made dramatic improvements with the G54 5G, and dropped the price even lower. Virtually all aspects of the device have undergone complete revision, with the standout feature in my opinion being its display, which I reckon only the most seriously nitpicky could find fault with. Photography is still not the G54's forte, but as an all round smartphone experience, for the money, I don't believe you'll find better.

80% Motorola Moto G54 5G review
Source: Tech Advisor English
Anyone in the market for a budget phone has a lot of choice at the moment. Nokia, OnePlus, even Samsung have models available that pack a lot of functionality into a cheaper package. Motorola has tried to one-up its rivals with the G54 5G, adding 256GB of storage, 8GB of RAM, a 120Hz screen, and the all-important 5G data connection to a phone that costs under £200. While not all of the tech in the phone is right up to date, and the camera can’t match those on more expensive models, this is a phone that should still be useful by the time its three years of updates run out.

If you’re looking for bang for your buck in the budget phone arena, the Moto G54 5G has it in spades. You won’t be getting the best screen or camera, and gaming performance is limited, but everything else feels responsive and looks great. It’s also backed up by a sleek outer design and that all-important 5G connectivity, ticking most boxes for a budget-focused buyer.

Motorola Moto G54 5G | Unboxing, Camera, Gaming & More!
Source: Tech Spurt English
Unboxing the Motorola Moto G54 5G, a budget £200 smartphone boasting an OIS camera, respectable gaming performance, long battery life and more. The Motorola G54 actually offers double the storage of an £800 iPhone 15, plus features like microSD support and a headphone jack. So here's a hands-on review of this Moto phone to see if it's one of the best options for that price. That 50MP camera is quite basic, as you'd hopefully expect at this budget cost. But the Motorola Moto G54 5G can still capture decent enough pics even with strong or low lighting, if you know how to handle it. Gaming chops are just about good enough for Genshin Impact, but that frame rate won't be too smooth. You're best off with PubG etc. Battery life is cracking, while Motorola has stuffed 256GB storage into the Moto G54 5G, expandable via microSD up to 1TB.

Motorola Moto G54 5G review
Source: Phone Arena English
Albeit nothing far too impressive, the Moto G54 5G is still good enough to do the job. True, it might not have the brightest display, the best speakers, or the ideal performance. Still, it’s decent enough to meet your most basic needs. Undoubtedly, the unimpressive charging speeds may put some people off. The same goes for the overall camera quality. Additionally, it’s rather disappointing to see or, to put it more accurately, not to see an ultra-wide sensor. But we have to stay mindful of the device’s price range. In short, as long as you’re aware of its shortcomings and are willing to live with them, the Moto G54 5G will deliver good enough performance for most everyday tasks.

moto g54 5G Review
Source: Mobygyaan English
The moto g54 5G has a lot to offer for the price of ₹15,999, the first is its 5G connectivity and the second is its compressive camera package. The overall camera performance is impressive, we liked its camera features including the Spot Color for video, dual capture, and ultra-wide + macro modes. In addition to that, you get a 120 Hz smooth display, a reasonably good CPU + GPU performance for the price, stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos, clean Android 13 with Moto gestures, a long-lasting battery (6,000 mAh), and gives you an option for larger 12 GB + 256 GB variant. For those who are looking for a 5G smartphone in the ₹15K budget, the moto g54 5G is a recommended buy, grab it with an ongoing discount of flat ₹1,500 which makes it a good deal.

72% Motorola Moto G54 5G Review : Monstrous battery but underwhelming display quality
Source: Think Digit English
What the Motorola Moto G54 5G lacks in design and display chops, it makes up for in battery life and raw performance. At under ₹15,000, you also get a surprisingly good primary camera that clicks some stunning pictures in ideal lighting conditions. The 2-day-long battery life is one of the phone’s best features and 33 W of fast charging is serviceable for the price too. What disappointed me was the dull and dim IPS LCD display.

80% Moto G54 5G review: a compelling mid-ranger under Rs 20k
Source: 91mobiles English
The Moto G54 5G is priced in India at Rs 15,999 for the base 8GB RAM variant, while the 12GB RAM option costs Rs 18,999. There is hardly any other smartphone within the segment that offers 12GB RAM with 256GB storage onboard. But, you might find options such as the Samsung Galaxy M34 5G (review), which boasts a vibrant AMOLED display instead of LCD and promises four years of major software updates. Alternatively, you can go with the OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite (review), which has superior software support. It also comes with a 108MP primary camera and a 67W fast charging solution. Or the Realme 11 5G (review), which also supports 67W fast charging. The Motorola smartphone, in contrast, is better than its competitors in the audio department. Its Dolby Atmos-powered stereo speakers impress with its crisp audio. While its software support may be somewhat lacking, the handset’s user interface stands out as one of the cleanest in its segment.

80% Moto G54 review: A total package at affordable price
Source: India Today English
If you have read all the words I have written so far in this review, you will realise what the answer is going to be. In my opinion, the Moto G54 is an easy recommendation at its price point. The Motorola G54 offers great value for money, particularly to those who want a powerful phone with great battery performance. Some parts of it - camera and design - could have been better. But I feel even without that, the Moto G54 offers a combination of clean software, functional design, good performance and great battery life. Even though the camera is fairly usable, it's just that it is inconsistent. Overall, this means the Moto G54 justifies its price. Particularly, the base variant with its MRP of Rs 15,999, offers incredible value for all those who are looking for a functional and sorted smartphone.

It is a small display format for smartphones. You shouldn't be severely defective in vision, and you won't see much detail on the screen and only have a small resolution available. For that, the device should be small and handy, easy to transport.
