Reviews for the Motorola Moto G56

74.9% Affordable mid-range with solid selling points - Motorola Moto G56 smartphone review | Notebookcheck
The Motorola Moto G56 demonstrates how much smartphone you can get for under $275. In our review, the robust mid-range phone not only impresses with its attractive and grippy faux leather casing, but also with smooth operation, a good camera, eSIM support, and long battery life. However, we also uncovered a few weak points.
70% Motorola Moto G56 review – Affordable, durable, expandable
Source: Amateur Photographer English
You will struggle to find a budget smartphone with an IP69 rating and a battery capacity of over 5000mAh, not to mention that you can expand the memory up to 2 TB. The Moto G56 is a simple but solid phone with a decent main camera that performs well in a variety of shooting scenarios. It even offers RAW capture. Even if the ultra-wide angle camera lags behind, you will be hard pressed to find specs like these at £199.

Imagination IMG BXM-8-256: Single core variant of the IMG BXM-8-256. Uses tile based deferred rendering and according to Imagination is about 30% more power efficient than the previous generation.

Non demanding games should be playable with these graphics cards.

6.72":

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.

Motorola: Founded in 1928, the US-based company mainly focuses on communication technology such as smartphones. The original company Motorola Inc was split up in 2011. Motorola Mobility got the smartphone division and was taken over by Google in 2012 and Lenovo in 2014.

The company is known for its cell phones and other electronic devices such as smartwatches, tablets and accessories. Motorola was one of the first companies to produce cell phones, and in recent years has also innovated in the areas of 5G technology and modular smartphones (Moto Mods). Motorola is also active in public safety and professional communications, providing solutions for government agencies, businesses and other organizations. The company has operations in North America, Europe, Asia and Latin America and employs more than 10,000 people worldwide. 


76.3%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
