CheckMag | At US$200, the Moto G54 almost makes the U$799 Apple iPhone 15 look like bad value
We reviewed the G54 just a few days ago. The phone can be had in several colorways; it comes with Android 13 and its price-to-performance ratio is very good compared to most other phones with similar price tags.

While no match for the mighty Apple A16, the Dimensity 7020 performs better than expected in both single-thread and multi-thread benchmarks making for fairly short loading times:

Unlike the OLED screen of the iPhone 15, the IPS panel of the G54 is PWM-free. At 2400 by 1080, it's a really sharp screen, and the 120 Hz refresh rate means scrolling is noticeably smoother than what 60-Hz phone screens deliver.
While the rear camera features just two sensors instead of three or four, we are happy to note that the shots are very, very good for the price - both in good lighting and at night.
Naturally, the Moto is 5G-enabled, including both physical SIM card support and eSIM support. Its Wi-Fi connection speeds are fast enough for worry-free Web browsing and it has a micro-SD card slot.
