About this deal
If the Moto G62 were made of glass and metal, it would seem right at home next to phones twice the price. But like almost every phone in this family since 2019's Moto G7, the Moto G62’s shell is almost entirely plastic.
This is a 1080p screen, and it looks sharp and clean. Even if you spend a lot more on a phone, the most obvious improvement you’re likely to see is higher peak brightness in direct sunlight — and even that isn’t a given. The Moto G62 5G is an incredible showpiece for just how well an Android device with just 4GB of RAM and a budget-friendly Qualcomm processor can feel to use. It doesn't cost that much more to get your hands on silicon that's a little faster, but the fact that the hardware here is fast enough says a lot about how far budget devices of this calibre have come. The big battery and the less demanding Snapdragon 480+ bode well for the Motorola Moto G62's battery life, but we are taking nothing for granted and will do our usual set of tests to confirm its actual endurance.Selfie: The 16MP selfie has natural skin tones and details and a range of filters to enhance any image.

The Motorola Moto G82 5G has a 5,000mAh battery, the same capacity seen in a large and ever-increasing number of Moto-series phones. However, it’s good to see this capacity retained when this is a slightly slimmer handset than plenty of others in the Moto G family.Like some other OLED panels, the Motorola Moto G82 takes on a slightly blue-green tint at an angle. This lines up with reports we’ve seen that suggest the phone has an LG P-OLED panel rather than a Samsung one. The latest Samsung OLED panels tend to avoid this particular issue. Dig into the camera app’s Settings menu and you can switch the 16MP selfie camera between 4MP and High Resolution modes. However, despite pixel binning, selfies become quite soft and vague in dim indoor light, and you don’t really see the benefit of the higher sensor resolution in good lighting. It is a relatively bright and colourful 1080p FHD+ with a choice of Auto/60/120Hz. Our test software also reveals a 90Hz setting. It swaps between 60 and 120Hz, and the latter takes about a 20% toll on battery life. Leave it on 60Hz. To put this in perspective, it is faster than a MediaTek Helio P0/G90/G70/Dimensity720 and slower than an SD730G.
