Introduction

The Moto G54 5G (XT2343-2) in refreshing Mint Green arrived on my desk promising a compelling blend of performance and features at a competitive price point. Over the past few weeks, I’ve put this Middle East version through its paces, testing its capabilities in various real-world scenarios. This in-depth review will explore its strengths and weaknesses, providing a comprehensive assessment of its overall value.

Key Features

The Moto G54 5G boasts a vibrant 6.5-inch Full HD+ 120Hz display, a powerful MediaTek Dimensity 7020 octa-core processor, a generous 12GB of RAM (with RAM Boost), and a spacious 256GB of internal storage, expandable via microSD card up to 1TB. The standout features include its 50MP main camera with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) and a massive 5000mAh battery with fast charging capabilities. Dolby Atmos provides an immersive audio experience to complement the stunning visuals. Dual SIM functionality adds further convenience.

Performance & Battery

The MediaTek Dimensity 7020 processor delivers smooth and responsive performance in daily use. Multitasking felt fluid, and even demanding games ran without significant lag. The 12GB of RAM ensured applications remained open and responsive even after extended periods of use. The 120Hz refresh rate of the display significantly enhances the user experience, making scrolling and animations incredibly smooth. The 5000mAh battery easily lasted a full day on a single charge, even with moderate to heavy usage. Fast charging topped up the battery quickly, minimizing downtime.

Camera Performance

The 50MP main camera with OIS impressed me with its ability to capture detailed and sharp images, even in low-light conditions. The OIS effectively minimized camera shake, resulting in clearer photos and smoother videos. While the secondary 16MP camera is capable, its performance is somewhat less impressive than the main shooter. Overall, camera performance exceeded my expectations for a phone in this price range.
