The Moto G series has been the backbone of the Motorola lineup in India for a while now, and helped the brand reestablish its position in the budget segment. Lately though, this series was overshadowed with the One Series from Motorola, and the last few models have not made huge marks. In order to bring the Moto G series back into the limelight, Motorola has brought the Moto G9 to India, and we are the first market to get this new smartphone. So has Motorola designed this phone well enough to face its fierce competition? I review the Moto G9 to find out.

Motorola Moto G9 Summary

The Moto G9 is a budget offering from Motorola with some powerful hardware. It sports a 6.5-inch LCD display with HD+ resolution and a tall 20:9 aspect ratio. The phone has flat sides which make it comfortable to hold and its rear-mounted fingerprint scanner is easy to reach. Motorola has packed in a 5,000mAh battery which has caused it to tip the scales at 200g.

It runs clean stock Android 10 with Motorola's My UX on top. There are very few useful customisations on top. You also get a dedicated Google Assistant button on the G9. The smartphone is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 662 SoC and is available in one variant only with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage.

The Moto G9 gets a triple camera setup consisting of a 48-megapixel primary camera with an f/1.7 aperture, a 2-megapixel macro camera, and a 2-megapixel depth sensor. It clicks decent photos in favourable light with good details. It is missing a wide-angle camera that most of its competition sport. The macro camera is good but it is of a lower resolution. Lowlight camera performance was average but the Night Mode is very effective.

An excellent phone. I don't know why people are saying that camera and display are not good enough. This is my second time moto device. I love that.

Classy product

Pradeep Sharma (Oct 9, 2020) on Flipkart

Ordered this phone for my mother who initially used Redmi note and were not happy with the bloatware and unwanted ads. Moto g9 is a pure stock andriod and safe to use interms of security. Though it's quite expensive at this price range but i just bought it for a pure andriod experience.
