Motorola Moto G45 5G

Moto G45 5G Overview

Design and Display

The Moto G45 5G has a similar design to Motorola’s other recent offerings with the seamless camera island. The phone is available in three colors: Brilliant Blue, Brilliant Green, and Viva Magenta. All the options come with a vegan leather finish on the back panel. On top of that, it has an IP52 rating and is “water repellent”.

Moving on to the display, it features a 6.5-inch display with Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection. The company does not mention the type of panel on the Moto G45 5G, and sidelines it saying “Bright Display”. This likely means that it is an LCD and might have relatively high brightness compared to other devices in the same price range. Other than that, it features a variable refresh rate between 60Hz to 120Hz and a touch sampling rate of 240Hz.

Performance

This phone was expected to sport a Snapdragon 6 series processor, and it indeed does. The Moto G45 5G comes with the Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 which is apparently the segment’s fastest 5G processor. This silicon is basically the same as Snapdragon 695 5G from a few years back.

Additionally, the phone is available in one 8GB. On the other hand, you get a single storage option of 128GB. It will likely offer external storage expansion as well. Software-wise, it boots on Android 14 and will receive one year of OS and three years of security updates.

Battery and Camera

The Moto G45 5G arrives with a 5,000mAh battery, that can be charged via a USB-C port. On the camera end, for selfies, there is a 16-megapixel front camera, and the rear panel houses a 50-megapixel primary camera. Although the ultrawide camera has been a standout feature for Motorola’s budget phones, it seems the company is replacing this time with a 2-megapixel depth sensor.
