Design and Display
There’s no denying the recent release Motorola phone has the almost same design and built quality. The reason for that is the company doesn’t have to create the outer body again and again, and if they do, the operation cost will increase, which will increase the price point of the phone in the end. To overcome this hurdle, the smartphone makers are utilizing the same format design.
However, the Moto G62 5G does look pretty sleek with its respective Midnight Gray and Frosted Blue color variant. Both of them look professional and classic with branding on the back panel. In terms of the built quality, the phone renders a plastic body with a 184-gram weight and an 8.6-mm thick side frame. Due to the massive battery captivity, the phone feels slightly bulky while holding.
Hopefully, the company is providing water repellent coating to protect your device from splashes. Speaking of the front display, you will attain a vibrant colors 6.5-inches IPS LCD panel in which you can watch 1080q resolution content without any hassle. Moreover, the phone also includes a 120Hz refresh rate that will further improve the user experience. Although, the phone is lacking better brightness nits and glass protection at the front.
Memory and Internal
The processing power comes through an 8nm Qualcomm SM4350-AC Snapdragon 480+ 5G chipset is pretty average compared to other mid-range photos. But this chipset is utilized for making affordable 5G phones, it value-for-money deal for those users who are looking to switch from 4G to 5G phones. However, the performance speed can go up to 2.2Ghz cloaking speed, which is quite sad.
Aside from this, you won’t be able to play advanced games at their full potential due to downgrading Adreno 619 GPU visuals. However, casual gaming is possible. Moving to the user experience, Motorola brings the near-stock Android experience with the latest Android 12 OS on the table. It will provide subtle customization features with a clean UI setup.
On top of that, the company has precisely taken care of the internal storage and RAM configuration, as you are getting 4GB RAM support with a 128GB space. With this setup, you won’t face any problems in your day-to-day usage for storing various data files. But if the company has added a few more storage options or a dedicated SD card slot, it would be great.
Camera
Speaking of the camera module, the Motorola Moto G62 5G houses a triple camera setup in which the 50MP primary lens leads the show. Besides this, the image processing quality is pretty superb, and the native camera app doesn’t take much time to open up. Aside from the main lens, the phone also has an 8MP ultra-wide lens that handles the dynamic range and superb resolution.
Although, the color and saturation are not on par with the main camera lens quality. But still, it’s good for taking wide-angle shots. Following this, you will get a standard 2MP macro lens for taking close-up shots. On the other side, you will receive a 16MP dot notch selfie camera that delivers impressive photos and videos thanks to AI software support.
But still, the daylight photography with the main camera feels underwhelming as it doesn’t have punchy colors and lacks dynamic range. Despite this, it is worth noting that the camera app renders natural colors, while the night mode slightly enhances the lowlight photo quality to some extent. In terms of videos, the camera app can record up to 1080p resolution videos.
Battery and Others
The Motorola Moto G62 5G smartphone equips a Li-Po 5000 mAh battery, which is sufficient enough to render up to 6+ hours of screen time for your daily usage. You can stream content at HD+ resolution settings, while the stereo speakers will improve the sound experience. But it’s sad to say that the phone doesn’t have a proper fast charger present inside the box.
All you are getting is an average 15W charger. But it could be considered a blessing in disguise as slow charging will increase the battery cycle of your phone, which means you don’t need to change the battery even after 2+ years. As for the security factor, the phone has a side-mounted fingerprint scanner. Lastly, the Moto G62 5G cost around $210 (Rs. 16,990 in India) approx.

Conclusion
The Motorola Moto G62 smartphone is a proper mid-range 5G phone, which has an immersive screen, faster refresh rate, ample performance, sufficient storage, and long-lasting battery life. Even after this, there are a few things that need to be concerned. The track record of Motorola phone software updates is below average so you might have to wait for a long for future updates.
Aside from this, the camera quality is average, and we won’t recommend this phone to selfie lovers. Apart from this, the phone is currently exclusive to the UK not for the global stage. If you don’t live in the United Kingdom, we suggest you look for global variants such as the Motorola G 2022 smartphone.
