Motorola Moto G30 in for review

The Motorola Moto G30 has arrived at our office, and we are preparing to put it through our review gauntlet to find out if it's worth your money.

The retail box of the Moto G30 includes the usual paperwork, silicone case, and a 20W charger.

The Moto G30 has a Snapdragon 662 SoC under the hood and boots near-stock Android 11 out of the box. The smartphone comes in three memory configurations - 4GB/64GB, 4GB/128GB, and 6GB/128GB. And if that much storage isn't enough, you have the option to further expand it up to 1TB via microSD card.

The Snapdragon 662-powered smartphone is built around a 6.5" 90Hz HD+ LCD with a notch for the 13MP selfie camera. Around the back, we get a fingerprint reader and a quad camera setup, which is a combination of 64MP primary, 8MP ultrawide, 2MP depth, and 2MP macro units.

The Moto G30 is offered in two colors - Pastel Sky and Dark Pearl - and we've received both. The rear panel of the former has a glossy finish, while the latter's is non-glossy and less prone to scratches. It also shimmers two different colors when the light hits the panel at different angles.

Keeping the entire package up and running is a 5,000 mAh battery that draws power through a USB-C port at up to 20W. Considering the screen's resolution, that big a cell should get you through the day with ease.

Our review is underway, so stick around to find out if the Moto G30 is a worthy buy.
