Introduction

The Motorola Moto G04 (PB140018SA/XT2421-4) arrived on my desk promising a compelling blend of features and affordability. This Middle East version, boasting a vibrant Sunrise Orange finish, immediately caught my eye. Over the past few weeks, I’ve put this device through its paces, subjecting it to a rigorous testing regime to determine its real-world capabilities. This review dives deep into its performance, examining its strengths and weaknesses to help you decide if it’s the right phone for you.

Key Features

The Moto G04 boasts a respectable set of features for its price point. The standout features include its 90Hz refresh rate display, which makes scrolling and animations noticeably smoother than standard 60Hz screens. The 5000mAh battery proved impressively long-lasting, easily getting me through a full day of heavy use. The dual SIM capability is also a significant advantage for those who need to manage two numbers on a single device. The addition of Dolby Atmos audio enhancement further elevates the multimedia experience, adding depth and richness to sound. The vibrant Sunrise Orange colour is also a nice touch, adding a splash of personality.

Performance & Battery Life

Powered by a Unisoc T606 octa-core processor, the Moto G04 handles everyday tasks with reasonable efficiency. While it’s not going to compete with flagship phones in terms of raw processing power, I found it perfectly capable of handling social media, web browsing, and streaming video without significant lag. Gaming performance is acceptable for casual titles, but demanding games may show some performance limitations. The 4GB RAM is sufficient for multitasking, but pushing it too hard might lead to some minor slowdown. However, the 5000mAh battery truly impressed. Even with heavy usage, I consistently achieved more than a day on a single charge. This long-lasting battery life is a definite highlight of this device.

Pros & Cons

• Pros: Long battery life, smooth 90Hz display, Dual SIM support, Dolby Atmos audio, attractive design, affordable price.
• Cons: Processor performance can be limited under heavy load, camera quality is average, internal storage could be limited for some users.

Final Verdict

The Motorola Moto G04 (PB140018SA/XT2421-4) offers a solid package for its price. Its exceptional battery life and smooth display are significant advantages. While its processing power isn’t top-tier, it’s sufficient for most everyday users. The camera performance is adequate but not outstanding. Overall, I recommend the Moto G04 to those seeking a budget-friendly smartphone with excellent battery life and a smooth user experience. It’s a great choice for casual users who prioritize long battery life and a smooth display over cutting-edge processing power.
