Motorola Moto G75 smartphone review – Fast, waterproof and with long update promises

Snapdragon shows what it's capable of.

The Motorola Moto G75 is a smartphone priced at around $300. But it's not just any phone: The processor proves itself to be very fast and, top of that, you get Motorola qualities such as great design and very pure Android. Does that make it the perfect mid-range smartphone?

Motorola Moto G75 5G verdict

With the Moto G75 5G, Motorola has actually built a very good, modern, mid-range smartphone that is impressive in terms of performance, battery life and screen brightness. The entire package is housed in a subtle but nicely designed chassis that is not only stable but can also withstand the elements thanks to IP68 certification.

The main camera's images are high quality and the fast WiFi 6E is (still) a special feature in this price range. The positioning accuracy is very precise and sensitive users need not be afraid of PWM flickering.

Added to this is a long update period and only moderate heating under load. Overall, the Motorola Moto G75 5G is a good mid-range package.

Our only real criticism is the sound: voice transmission is sometimes muffled when making phone calls, and the speakers don't sound very clear either. But there are many Bluetooth audio codecs to choose from.

Pros

+ waterproof, well-designed chassis
+ speedy SoC
+ fast WiFi 6E
+ bright IPS screen...
+ ... without PWM
+ good battery life
+ precise positioning
+ main camera takes good photos
+ six-year updates
+ numerous Bluetooth audio codecs

Cons

- somewhat muffled sound
- muddy images from the wide-angle camera
- relatively low Wi-Fi data send speeds

Price and availability

For its mid-range smartphone, the manufacturer has an asking price of around $289 on its online store.

At the time of review, the latest model of Moto G75 is currently unavailable on Amazon.

While an increasing number of mid-range smartphones with MediaTek chips have come onto the market in recent months, Motorola is trying out a Qualcomm SoC for the Moto G75. Previously installed in almost every type of mobile phone, Snapdragon SoCs no longer seem quite as popular.

In our review, we aim to find out what the Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 in the Moto G75 is capable of, whether the phone offers good value for money for around $300 and how the phone compares to similarly priced smartphones. Let's get started.

Case – A plastic chassis with IP certification

For its chassis, Motorola has used more restrained colors, such as dark gray or light pastel green. Only Aqua Blue is a slightly stronger blue. For the rear material, Motorola has opted for a smooth material for the dark gray version, while the green and blue variants use faux leather. The frame is always made of plastic, and the raised camera module integrated into the rear of the device has a slight curve, which looks very elegant.

The workmanship is excellent: There are no noticeable edges, and the phone can only be twisted minimally. In addition, it is also well protected from dust and water, as confirmed by its IP 68 certification. This means it can also be immersed in shallow water without risk of damage.

At 205 grams, the Moto G75 is one of the heavier devices in our comparison field. Regarding the dimensions, it is also a little larger than other smartphones in this price range, but it also has the largest screen diagonal. The screen bezel is slim on all four sides, giving the phone a modern look.

Features – eSIM support included

Motorola has installed 256 GB of UFS 2.2 flash memory and 8 GB of RAM. Other memory variants are not available. This puts Motorola on par with most of its competitors. With the Poco M6 Pro's 512 GB of mass storage, only Xiaomi offers an even better memory configuration in this price segment.

NFC for contactless payment transactions is on board, as is modern Bluetooth 5.4. The USB-C port can be used for wired audio output. Although this is also used for charging and transferring data, it is only connected internally according to the USB 2.0 standard, meaning image transfer is unavailable, and data transfers are not accelerated.

The Moto G75 5G only offers one nano-SIM slot, but additionally or alternatively, you can store an eSIM profile.

microSD Card Reader

The microSD reader is separate and worked relatively quickly in our copy test. However, it cannot even begin to utilize the maximum possible data speeds of the very fast Angelbird V60.

The microSD reader also proves to be one of the faster ones in this price category regarding the CPDT benchmark. This means you can use a memory card to expand the internal memory with a clear conscience.

Software – Long update promises for the Moto G75

Motorola has only used a minimally modified Android 14 as the basis for its operating system. The vast majority of additional functions are outsourced to separate apps, meaning they can be kept up to date even without the need for a system update.

For example, the Moto app can be used to make extensive personalizations to the system itself, gesture control can be defined, and settings for the lock screen or media playback can be made.

On the other hand, the Moto Secure app can be used to set up secure folders, warn about scammer websites, and provide an automatic lock for the device.

There are only a few pre-installed apps for advertising purposes, and these can be easily deleted. The security patches date from November 2024 at the time of review, making them still reasonably up to date.

Six years of security updates and five new Android versions are promised for the Moto G75. That's a good length of time for this price range. The result is you can use your device safely and for a long time.

Sustainability

When it comes to software updates, the Moto G75 is sustainable. Unfortunately, we couldn't find any online data concerning CO2 consumption during production and use. The packaging is only used sparingly and printed with soy ink. It also doesn't contain any plastic.

Communication and GNSS – Fast Wi-Fi and good reception

So far, only a few phones in this price range offer WiFi 6E. However, the Moto G75 comes with the fast Wi-Fi standard with access to the still little-used 6 GHz network. This means that the phone actually achieves very fast data download speeds but has to deal with repeated dips when sending data. The send performance is a bit slower than comparable phones with WiFi 6E and also shows a short drop in the data transfer speeds to around 200 Mbit/s, which occurred frequently when the test was repeated.

The Moto G75 is fast enough for everyday use with a gigabit internet connection. Full reception is available close to the router and at a distance of 10 meters through 3 walls, signal strength is still about 50%, and websites load significantly slower.

The 5G modem offers a wide range of frequencies for both LTE and 5G, making the Moto G75 an interesting travelling companion. However, you should first take a look at the list of frequencies used for the country you are travelling to because the Moto phone is not a real global phone that uses every possible worldwide frequency.

We randomly checked the reception during our test period and compared it to high-end phones. The Moto G75 did well here and was usually still able to provide a signal even in difficult situations, such as between tall buildings.

Outdoors, we were quickly located within 3 meters of our location. The major worldwide satellite networks are available for positioning: GPS, QZSS, NavIC, GLONASS, Beidou and Galileo. However, the additional SBAS system for even greater accuracy is missing.

In our everyday test, we went on a bike trip along with our comparison device, the Garmin Venu 2 smartwatch. The Moto G75 cut a very good figure: Even small evasive manoeuvres were mapped quite accurately, and there were only minor deviations from the actual route when crossing the bridge.

Overall, we can recommend the Moto G75 for navigation, even if high accuracy is a crucial factor.

Telephone functions and voice quality – Sometimes quite muffled

Motorola uses Google's standard software as its phone app, and it is the one also used in many other Android phones. It is uncluttered, easy to use and offers direct access to contacts.

In the settings, you can automatically set your home location as the area code, so that you don't always have to enter the corresponding country code when you are abroad. You can also block numbers and set up short replies via SMS.

The voice quality via the internal earpiece is very clear and distinct. The maximum volume is sufficient to drown out even louder environments but is audible to people standing close by. Our voices were also transmitted very clearly. When making calls via the loudspeaker and the hands-free microphone, our voices sounded very muffled, according to our partner on the other end of the line, but we were able to hear him clearly and, if desired, quite loudly.

Cameras – An impressive main camera

Front camera capture
Front camera capture

There are two full-fledged cameras on the rear of the Moto G75, as well as an LED flash and a flicker sensor, which is designed to prevent artefacts in smartphone photos.

The main camera is based on the Sony Lytia 600 and has a resolution of up to 50 megapixels, but usually only takes 12.5-megapixel images: four pixels are combined into one and can thus capture more light. A full-resolution shot is also possible in a special mode if you require very high-resolution images.

In our photo test, we took pictures with the Moto G75, and, at the same time, we took the same pictures with high-quality, high-end smartphones and an SLR camera. Our test device didn't fare too badly with its main camera: the images looked sharp and offered some details. The image dynamics in both light and dark areas were also pleasing. Sure, the iPhone 16 Pro can squeeze a little more sharpness or a few more details out of an image here and there, but the difference in the daylight shots is not that pronounced.

Even in low light and high contrast, the camera in our test device offers surprisingly high sharpness and also displays a few details in darker areas.

Videos can be recorded at a maximum of 4K and 30fps. The image quality is good with reasonable lighting, the autofocus works quickly, and the brightness adjustment also proves to be quick and reliable.

The wide-angle camera has a resolution of 8 megapixels, but overall, it only captures little in the way of detail, as well as sometimes muddy images.

On the front, there is a 16-megapixel selfie camera. These turned out well, with lots of detail, and we were also impressed by the image's dynamics.

Under perfect lighting conditions in the lab, images from the main camera show good contrast, but the colors appear a little unsaturated. At just 1 lux brightness, some of the image details are still visible, but high-end cameras offer much better results in this area.

Accessories and warranty – Quite a lot in the box but no charger

Motorola includes a silicone bumper, a USB-C cable and a SIM tool with its mid-range smartphone, but no charger. This is now standard for most smartphones.

A suitable charger can be purchased directly from the manufacturer for around $20, but apart from that, there are no special Moto G75 5G accessories to be found on Motorola's website.

The manufacturer offers a 24-month warranty for all devices purchased within the EU. Warranty conditions may vary elsewhere in the world.

Input devices & operation – Reliable unlocking options

The Moto G75 5G's screen can display up to 120 frames per second, enabling smooth scrolling and responding quickly to inputs. These are made via the capacitive touchscreen, which is scanned for input at up to 240 times per second. It responded promptly and reliably to our inputs and was also sensitive in the corners and at the screen's edges.

The physical buttons are on the right side of the case: the volume rocker and the standby button. Both are easy to locate and offer a distinct pressure point. They are straightforward to use for both right and left-handed users.

The fingerprint sensor is integrated into the standby button. Unlocking via facial recognition is also possible, and this is done via the front camera in 2D. Both methods reliably recognize the user and unlock the phone with almost no delay.

Display – Bright and no PWM

Subpixel image
Subpixel image

While many other manufacturers in this price bracket rely on OLED displays, Motorola has remained true to the classic IPS display. Although this generally does not achieve the same high maximum brightness, PWM flickering is much less of a problem.

Motorola has also done a good job with the Moto G75's screen brightness: In our test, the screen achieved up to 967 cd/m² of brightness with a completely white image. This puts it on par with the Xiaomi Poco M6 Pro or the Nothing Phone (2a), which both have OLED screens. You can't coax much more out of the IPS display, even with smaller surfaces, but it's enough for a passable display of HDR content.

The resolution is class level at 2,388 x 1,080 pixels, and the frame rate of 120 Hz is now common in phones at this price level.

At 0.46 cd/m², a small drawback is the slightly higher black value, which does not allow for very deep blacks. Nevertheless, the contrast value is good thanks to the very high maximum brightness. Images are not quite as colorful as on an OLED display, but are still very vivid.

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.
Screen flickering / PWM not detected

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 8627 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured.

We did not measure any PWM flickering on the Moto G75's IPS display.

With the "Natural" color profile, the screen offered very little in the way of color deviation and didn't display any visible color tint in light gray tones. Almost the entire sRGB color space can be displayed without a hitch.

Display Response Times

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.
       Response Time Black to White
25.2 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 13.9 ms rise
↘ 11.3 ms fall
The screen shows relatively slow response rates in our tests and may be too slow for gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 57 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (20.9 ms).
       Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
33 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 18 ms rise
↘ 15 ms fall
The screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.165 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 41 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is similar to the average of all tested devices (32.7 ms).

The display shows obvious reflections outdoors on bright days, but these can usually be outshone by the bright IPS panel. This means that the Moto G75 is suitable for outdoor use.

Even if you look at the display from very wide angles, the colors only change slightly, and the screen only darkens very minimally.

Performance – The Qualcomm SoC does a good job

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 is a fairly up-to-date SoC, which is manufactured using the 4 nm manufacturing process. This means that it can run very efficiently and offer high performance in a small space. The single-core performance is good, and if all the cores are allowed to operate, very high performance scores are possible for the price range. Our review device also often completed the system benchmarks better than any of the comparison devices.

In everyday use, the performance is usually flawless: the system responds quickly and there are almost no stutters. However, the Moto G75 is not quite as fast when it comes to AI calculations.

* ... smaller is better

With UFS 2.2 flash, Motorola has not chosen the fastest common type of smartphone storage, but it fits the price range very well and, thanks to a fast memory controller, is also a touch faster than many comparable devices. This means hardly anything stands in the way of fast data transfer speeds and relatively short loading times.

Games – Even 60fps is possible

When it comes to gaming, the Moto G75 is a mid-level performer: Even complex games such as Genshin Impact can be played smoothly, but you will have to live with occasional small dips in a frame rate, which is not always 60fps. For example, PUBG Mobile only reached a maximum of 40fps at high settings.

We analyzed the frame rates using the GameBench software. 

It goes without saying that anyone who only plays games occasionally and with less graphically demanding features will enjoy the Moto G75. Controlling the action via the touchscreen and position sensor also works without any problems to speak of.

Emissions – Low heat dissipation and hardly any throttling

Temperature

We let the phone run a benchmark under full load for an hour and observed the surface temperatures before and after. The temperature increase was noticeable, but a 45.3 °C peak is not critical.

The higher outside temperature didn't appear to negatively impact the SoC: In the 3DMark stress tests, the performance remained constant even after numerous benchmark runs.

The Motorola Moto G75 5G's speakers are located on the lower edge and are supported by the earpiece. The result is a narrow stereo sound experience.

The pair of speakers can get reasonably loud and offer decent sound for the price range, even if it seems a bit muffled.

You can also connect speakers or headphones via USB-C or Bluetooth. Both work effortlessly, and numerous codecs are available for wireless audio transmission, including those that enable hi-res audio.

Battery life – Good stamina and wireless charging

Power consumption

The Moto G75 is quite economical in less demanding scenarios, consuming a maximum of 1.5 watts when running idle. Under load, however, the values are significantly higher, but the powerful SoC is a capable performer.

The battery can be charged at a maximum of 30 watts, but a charger is not included. However, the Motorola smartphone works well with the chargers used in our test center and the device charges fully again in a maximum of just under 2 hours.

Wireless charging is possible at a maximum of 15 watts.

Battery runtimes

The battery life highlights the SoC's greater efficiency due to the smaller production process compared to many comparable devices:

With a runtime of 19 hours and 34 minutes in the Wi-Fi test, the Moto G75 leads the pack, and you will be able to watch movies from the internal storage for over 22 hours. That's enough for almost the entire (released so far) Marvel Multiverse saga, which currently consists of 10 movies.

Under load, however, the advantage is only minimal: In this area, the Moto G75 delivers a good 5 hours of gaming time but is unable to set itself apart from other smartphones in this price range.

Transparency

The selection of devices to be reviewed is made by our editorial team. The test sample was provided to the author as a loan by the manufacturer or retailer for the purpose of this review. The lender had no influence on this review, nor did the manufacturer receive a copy of this review before publication. There was no obligation to publish this review. We never accept compensation or payment in return for our reviews. As an independent media company, Notebookcheck is not subjected to the authority of manufacturers, retailers or publishers.

This is how Notebookcheck is testing

Every year, Notebookcheck independently reviews hundreds of laptops and smartphones using standardized procedures to ensure that all results are comparable. We have continuously developed our test methods for around 20 years and set industry standards in the process. In our test labs, high-quality measuring equipment is utilized by experienced technicians and editors. These tests involve a multi-stage validation process. Our complex rating system is based on hundreds of well-founded measurements and benchmarks, which maintains objectivity. Further information on our test methods can be found here.
