Motorola puts Android 13, 5G and 120Hz in a €200 smartphone – Frandroid

Motorola presents a whole range of new smartphones, including the G53. Proposed next month from 200 euros, the technical sheet is quite tempting given the price: Android 13, 5G and a 120Hz screen.

Ahead of the MWC, which takes place at the end of February, Motorola presented several smartphone models: the E13, G13, G23 and G53. They’re all entry-level phones, but one of them can catch our attention: the G53. It has a few arguments in its favor that could make it a very good $200 phone.

The Motorola G53 is entitled to a 120 Hz screen

This Motorola smartphone comes with a 6.5-inch HD+ LCD panel that benefits from a beautiful 120Hz refresh rate. If 120Hz isn’t a priority for everyone, it’s rather rare to point that out on an entry-level model. On the audio side, we are entitled to Dolby Atmos via the stereo speakers.

As for the photo part, we have some details: there is a 50 Mpx main photo sensor, which is accompanied by a 2 Mpx macro sensor. While we haven’t tested the latter, there’s a good chance it’s serviceable at best, useless at worst. There is also a fingerprint reader on the power button on the side.

Android 13 comes in the entry-level class

If the latest version of Android is gradually being used on models from different brands, the entry-level market is currently not benefiting from it. Samsung is an exception in the market by betting on rapid deployment of One UI 5, its Android 13-based user interface. The Motorola G53 is also pleasing as it will take advantage of Android 13 as soon as it is released.
