Motorola Moto G30 and G10 debut in Europe

Motorola announced two new budget phones coming to European markets: the Moto G30 and the Moto G10, both starting well below € 200. The higher-performing G30 features a fast 90Hz refresh rate screen and a 5,000mAh battery with 15W fast charging, two features rarely seen at this price point.

The 6.5 inch screen of the G30 is unfortunately only 720p. Other specs seem healthier, like IP52 dust and splash resistance, 6GB of RAM, and 128GB of built-in storage expandable via microSD. The phone includes a 64-megapixel main camera that produces 16-megapixel images, plus an 8-megapixel ultra-wide camera, 2-megapixel macro and a 2-megapixel depth sensor, along with a 13-megapixel selfie camera. in the front. It is equipped with a Snapdragon 662 chipset, a 3.5mm headphone jack and will ship with Android 11. It costs € 179.

The Moto G10 is a little less interesting, with a less powerful Snapdragon 460 processor, 4GB of RAM, and a 6.5-inch 720p display with a standard 60Hz refresh rate. It gets a 48-megapixel main camera from low resolution and an 8 megapixel selfie camera. Like the G30, it packs a 5,000mAh battery, although it charges a bit slower at 10W. A version sold in India will include a larger 6,000mAh battery with a 15W charge. The European variant is priced at 149 €.

Fast refresh rate screens make scrolling and animation smoother, and they’re pretty common on flagship phones now. It’s no surprise that we’re starting to see the tech show up in the budget class – the $ 300 OnePlus Nord N10 5G has a 90Hz display and the upcoming Galaxy A52 and A72 would also include one – but the G30 is one. some of the cheapest phones we’ve seen offering one. It seems likely that we are on the right track to seeing 90Hz displays become the new normal at all costs.

The Moto G30 and G10 are currently offered for sale on Motorola’s UK and German sites and will arrive in other European markets this spring.
