The combination of low price and high refresh rate screen was always going to turn heads, but the Moto G30 is impressively well-rounded for such an affordable phone. We love the massive battery and ample onboard storage, and it can take a decent photo, as long as you stick to the main camera sensor. Performance is just acceptable, though, with the odd stutter when jumping between apps, and long loading times when playing games. The Poco X3 NFC delivers a smoother experience with its beefier Snapdragon 732G CPU for just £40 more. If your budget won't stretch that far, however, the Moto G30 is still a heck of a lot of phone for the cash.
Great value hardware; Stellar battery life; Vanilla Android at its best;
Performance merely OK; Gimmicky cameras add little value; Refresh rate doesn't equal smoothness;
