Design and Display

The Motorola Moto G30’s design may not be an exact replica of a pre-existing smartphone, but there is no denying the fact that it has design cues that makes it look sort of like a familiar Motorola design. The Glossy rear covering with round corners is one of the facilitators of this fact.

The Glossy rear panel on the rears bears a square camera module with four cameras and an LED flash. Also on the rear is the Motorola mascot embedded in a capacitive fingerprint reader. The setup is pretty much basic.

Ethusiats who decide to purchase this Android phone will have dual colour options and they include Dark Pearl and Pastel sky.

A 90Hz refresh rate may not be flagship feature, considering the fact that the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S21 shelf 120Hz refresh rate, however, putting price tag into consideration makes the feature seller, as most smartphones in this price range usually feature 60Hz refresh rate.
