The Moto G73 is a 5G intermediary from Motorola that recently hit the market. It is the successor to the G72, which was never released in Europe. The company preferred to bring the Moto G82, which is one category above. What do we have new? Is it just another phone without an identity in Motorola’s vast portfolio? Let’s check.
The design of the Moto G73 is quite similar to that of the Moto G53. It is a plastic cell phone with a matte finish and few curves on the sides. It hit the market in blue and white, with the darker shade showing finger marks more easily. At least the cell phone comes with a case in the box, which helps to minimize the problem.
We start with the first negative point on the Moto G73, its screen. We have a 6.5-inch panel with IPS LCD technology and a refresh rate of 120 Hz. The problem is that the maximum brightness is weak for the category and is at the level of the brand’s entry-level models. At least the contrast level and viewing angle are good. The sound could also be better and despite being stereo it doesn’t have much power and the mids are overshadowed by the highs.
The Moto G73 comes equipped with Dimensity 930, a recent MediaTek chip that is present in few cell phones. It consists of four-core A78 series and four A55 series processors with BXM-8-256 GPU. As much as it is not popular hardware, the G73 delivers good multitasking performance and is at the mid-range level with Snapdragon 695 and Exynos 1280 in benchmarks. It may not run the heaviest games at maximum quality, but it will run any Android game without difficulty.
This is yet another Motorola cell phone with a 5,000 mAh battery and also another capable of delivering autonomy for the whole day, despite being below what is seen in older models of the line. Apparently, the software lacked optimization or the new MediaTek hardware uses more energy. The charger that comes in the box has a maximum power of 30W and recharges the battery in just over 1 hour.
The photographic set consists of a 50 MP camera and an 8 MP ultra-wide camera with autofocus that serves to capture macros and take care of the blurring of scenarios. By default, the Moto G73’s camera records good photos, but lacks sharpness. This can be resolved by shooting in 50 MP mode and it does not take up much memory space. The secondary has its uses when shooting during the day, but fails a lot at night. The front one makes good selfies in well-lit places, while the camcorder only records in Full HD and doesn’t have agile focus, as well as sound capture is only decent.
Is it worth buying the Moto G73? It’s a good mid-range 5G phone, but it doesn’t stand out against Motorola’s other options. Maybe it’s better to wait for the price to drop a little. In the meantime, you can check out all the full details of our review at the link below:
