Motorola Moto G04: A Budget Smartphone with a 90Hz Display and a 5,000mAh Battery
Motorola has recently launched its latest budget smartphone in the G series, the Moto G04, in India. The phone offers a 6.56-inch HD+ display with a 90Hz refresh rate, a Unisoc T606 processor, a 16MP rear camera, a 5MP front camera, and a 5,000mAh battery with 15W charging support. The Moto G04 also comes with an IP52 rating, 8GB virtual RAM support, Dolby Atmos, a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, and Android 14 OS. The phone is priced at Rs 6,999 for the 4GB + 64GB version and Rs 7,999 for the 8GB + 128GB version, and will be available for sale from February 22nd via Flipkart, the Motorola website, and leading retail stores.
Design and Display
The Moto G04 has a plastic body with a rectangular camera module on the back and a centered punch-hole on the front. The phone comes in four color options: Concord Black, Satin Blue, Sea Green, and Sunrise Orange. The phone also has a 3.5mm headphone jack, a USB-C port, and a dedicated microSD card slot for storage expansion up to 1TB. 
The Moto G04 features a 6.56-inch HD+ LCD display with a resolution of 1612×720 pixels, a 90Hz refresh rate, up to 537nits brightness, and Panda Glass protection. The display has a 20:9 aspect ratio and a 79% screen-to-body ratio. The display also supports adaptive brightness and night light mode.
Performance and Software
The Moto G04 is powered by the Unisoc T606 processor, which is an octa-core chipset with four Cortex-A75 cores clocked at 2.0GHz and four Cortex-A55 cores clocked at 1.8GHz. The processor is paired with the Mali G57 MP1 GPU and 4GB or 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM. The phone also supports 8GB of virtual RAM, which means it can use some of the internal storage as RAM to boost performance.
The Moto G04 runs on Android 14-based MyUX custom skin, which is a near-stock Android experience with some Motorola-specific features and apps. The phone also comes with a promise of two years of security updates, but no OS upgrades. Some of the notable features of the MyUX include Moto Actions, Moto Display, Moto Gametime, Moto Audio, and Moto Tips.
Camera and Battery
The Moto G04 has a single 16MP rear camera with an f/2.0 aperture, phase detection autofocus, and LED flash. The camera supports HDR, panorama, portrait mode, night vision, spot color, cinemagraph, and pro mode. The camera can also record videos up to 1080p at 30fps with electronic image stabilization.
The Moto G04 has a 5MP front camera with an f/2.2 aperture, fixed focus, and screen flash. The camera supports HDR, portrait mode, spot color, and face beauty. The camera can also record videos up to 1080p at 30fps.
The Moto G04 packs a 5,000mAh battery with 15W charging support. However, the phone only comes with a 10W charger in the box, so you will need to buy a compatible 15W charger separately to enjoy the fast charging. The phone also supports reverse charging, which means you can use it to charge other devices via a USB-OTG cable. The battery is claimed to offer up to 40 hours of mixed usage, up to 17 hours of video playback, up to 13 hours of web browsing, or up to 10 hours of gaming.
Connectivity and Sensors
The Moto G04 supports 4G LTE, Wi-Fi 802.11 ac, Bluetooth 5.0, GPS, and FM Radio. The phone also has an IP52 rating, which means it can withstand some splashes and dust. The phone also has Dolby Atmos support, which enhances the audio quality and experience.
The Moto G04 has a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, which is embedded in the power button. The phone also supports face unlock, which uses the front camera to scan your face and unlock the device. The phone also has an accelerometer, a gyroscope, a proximity sensor, and an ambient light sensor.
Price and Availability
The Moto G04 is priced at Rs 6,999 for the 4GB + 64GB version and Rs 7,999 for the 8GB + 128GB version in India. The phone will be on sale via Flipkart, the Motorola website, and leading retail stores from February 22nd at 12PM onwards. The company is also offering some launch offers, such as Rs 750 off on exchange for the 4GB+64GB model, benefits worth Rs 4,500 from Reliance Jio, and a cashback worth Rs 2000 and partner coupons worth Rs 2,500.
Conclusion
The Moto G04 is a budget smartphone that offers a 90Hz display, a 5,000mAh battery, and a near-stock Android experience. The phone also has some unique features, such as 8GB virtual RAM, Dolby Atmos, and IP52 rating. The phone, however, lacks a multi-camera setup, a full HD+ display, and an OS upgrade guarantee. The phone faces competition from the likes of Redmi 13C 5G, Realme 9i, and Poco M5, which offer better specifications and features in the same price range. The Moto G04 is a decent option for those who value the Motorola brand, the 90Hz display, and the battery life, but it may not be the best choice for those who want a better camera, performance, and software support.
