United States Motorola Moto G24 smartphone review – An attractive phone with a 90 Hz display
The Moto G24 doesn't support 5G, so it is a pure LTE phone. The frequencies available on our test device are limited to the bare minimum to ensure operation in Central Europe, where this test was carried out. The same applies to models purchased in other parts of the world, which are limited to the common local frequencies. If you want to use your smartphone abroad to access the web, then you may have to look for a different phone.
Reception was quite good during our test using several random samples, but it couldn't come close to high-end smartphones.
In terms of Wi-Fi, the Moto G24 supports Wi-Fi 5 as the fastest standard and, as a result, achieves the expected 300 - 350 MBit/s that is usual for the price range. The transmissions ran at a fairly constant speed, even with the test repeated several times.
On the software side, Motorola has installed fairly pure Android 14 and has made additional functions accessible via the Moto app. This is clever, as additional features can be easily added via app updates. The latest security patches are from March 2024, so still reasonably up-to-date at the time of testing. Motorola has promised updates every two months until January 2027. It is not known whether the phone will see any further operating system versions.
The phone is DRM L1-certified, so you can stream content from most major providers in HD.
Its screen can display up to 90 images per second, meaning it reacts quickly to inputs. The touchscreen works very precisely—even in the corners and along the edges. A fingerprint sensor is integrated into the standby button on the right-hand side of the case. It recognizes fingerprints very precisely after one or more prints have been saved and there is only a minimal delay when unlocking the phone.
Facial recognition is also possible which works via the front-facing camera without an additional sensor. It is also fairly accurate. In darker environments, the screen light is usually sufficient for recognition.
