MOTO G60 Hands On - Motorola just KILLED Xiaomi? By C4ETech

In, this tiny little bezel is a flash for the selfie camera. This is something we've not seen much of in recent times. The 120 hertz refresh panel is HDR support. It's the cheapest snapdragon 732g available today, Motorola just took the wraps off two of their newest mid-ranges, the motor g60 and the g40 fusion. Today in this video we're going to be taking a look at the g60 by the way I am working with motor on this, but I can assure you that there's nothing said in this video that I don't mean so that disclaimer out of the way, let's get the unboxing. So this is the motor g60s box.

It's its a typical Motorola affair. The 108 megapixel camera seems to be the selling point here. So let's open it up, and we are greeted by the g60 itself. This has the case on now. Let's peel, that protective sticker off mine wasn't a sealed box, so maybe this is how it comes, or maybe the case is inside this little insert with the retail unit.

Anyway, there is a case right. Then we have a regular information booklets, followed by an USB type c cable and a 20 watt charger, that's included in the box these days. That seems to be a huge selling point. This one has the 20 branding. So that's something new and that's pretty much it for the unboxing.

Let's now start with, what's so unique about this phone spoiler alert, it's the price, the motor g60 is priced at 18, 000 rupees and if you have an ICICI card, there's an instant 1500 rupee discount with or without the discounter specs appear very good for the price. So, let's start with well there's no amulet panel here, but but but motor's gone for an excellent IPS LCD panel. It's a 120 hertz refresh panel is HDR support. It's a 6.8 inch panel, so it's pretty huge, there's a tiny punch hole to the top and inside this punch hole. There is a 32, megapixel, selfie camera, and we'll get to that.

In a minute. The panel seems bright. It should be fine for outdoor use and overall, whether it's watching videos or playing games. I kind of like this panel, I kind of like what a Motorola has done here, of course, they're calling it their max vision. That's their branding now hidden up top in this tiny little bezel is a flash for the selfie camera.

This is something we've not seen much of in recent times this 32 megapixel sensor. It seems to do a fair job. It's got the same spot color feature that we've seen on the rear cameras. Uh portraits, are pretty good. So, overall, it's a competent shooter.

Now to the back, we get three cameras. The primary is a 108 megapixel sensor, that's paired with the f 1.7 lens. This sensor does nun binning, so it combines nine pixels to one, and it shoots.12 megapixels, by default, the pixel size is quite large and under good light the performance seems nice too. The pictures appear detailed with good natural colors. The dynamic range also looks very good uh, the secondary camera.

It's an 8, megapixel, f, 2.2, ultra weight, 118 degree. Uh angle, is what it captures again. It's pretty promising the colors are close to uh the primary, which is something I always appreciate. This also happens to shoot macro, so it pulls double duty, and it does a fair job at that. The third camera.

It's your token 2 megapixel dev sensor with videos. We are capped to 4k at 30, fps and guys. If you notice this interface, we've got the controls taking a large part of the screen. So, despite the overall footprint of this phone being big uh still handling the camera, single-handed felt quite easy, so, whether it's snapping selfies or switching between stills and videos or accessing all the modes and settings I was able to do that single-handed and on a phone. That's this big! That's something I do appreciate from an optics perspective.

Motor seems to have all bases covered with the g60. Now, let's take a moment to talk about the Norman clutches here you know how we had the Moto G g2 g3, g4, that series uh, the sequence- has been broken here: uh motor's kind of changed the name into something similar to Samsung's mid-ranges. So the g40 uh fusion is the lower spec option, the lower priced option. The g60 is the higher. So that's how they're going about it uh anyway.

I just wanted to clarify that. Let's now come back to the build here, we have a plastic back. It's got these crazy reflections going for it looks attractive, but plastic is plastic. So it's going to be easier to scratch. It's also going to pick up fingerprints and smudges a lot easier by the way.

Despite plastic, it's still a heavy phone 234 grams and that's largely due to the six thousand William hour battery they've used. So while we are losing out on ergonomics battery life at least should be good. This battery, it's paired with the seven nanometer Qualcomm chip, the snapdragon 732g, there are six gigs of lpddr4x ram and 128 gigs of storage, uh they're supposed to be using MCP, which is a one-chip solution, integrating dram and storage making for better power efficiency. The storage here I am told we should be getting UFS 2.2 speeds. Now.

Will all these specs together be enough to push 120 frames? A second consistently, especially with gaming? I'd be skeptical, but with the interface it should be able to more often than not. The interface is pretty stock. Android 11. Motorola calls this my UX there's no bloat whatsoever, no ads Motorola just got their motor app and whatever tinkering they've done with the camera, then there's FM radio support and the interface seems reasonably fast. As always motors provided a degree of customizability with the motor app icons can be changed.

The support for the popular gesture functionality like, for example, shake to turn the flashlight on and off, swipe in and out for split screen, uh, which kind of helps with multitasking twist to turn the camera and swap between selfie and rear cameras, lift to wake which is especially effective when combined with face unlock and talking about face unlock for biometrics. You also get a fingerprint scanner. This one is present to the back and buried beneath this motor logo. The placement is fine, and it feels quite responsive now talking about placements. We have three keys to the right power volume and a dedicated Google Assistant key, which sadly is unremarkable.

The headphone jack is also present and that's up top alongside the secondary noise-cancelling mic to the left. We have a hybrid slot and as evident from this rubber grommet here, Motorola continues to provide a water resistant, NATO coating uh to the bottom, there's the primary mic, USB type-c port and a speaker. So that's the Motorola motor g60, the motor g40 fusion, it's a pretty similar phone. It loses out on NFC compared to the g60 uh, the 32 megapixel selfie camera is swapped with the 16 megapixel selfie camera. Instead of the 108 megapixel primary, we get a 64 megapixel primary uh and everything else is exactly the same.

Apart from 6128 with the g40 fusion, there's also a 464 variant. So those are the only differences, barring that it's going to look exactly like this. No, the price is, of course, different. The g40 fusion starts at 14 000 rupees, and it gets a thousand rupee discount for CSA cards. So that seems to be pretty good value too.

In fact, mutual is pretty proud to mention this. It's the cheapest snapdragon 732g available today. Now I should be getting my hands on the g40 fusion as well. Pretty soon, would you guys want me to review that uh between these two phones, which one would you want me to review uh if I had to choose one leave a comment below, so that's the g60 and the g40 fusion. What do you guys think of Motorola's new launches? Whatever your thoughts are, let me know and do you feel they should have done something differently? Do you feel this is just perfect, as is let me know your thoughts and with that we get to the end of this quick little hands-on unboxing thumbs up thumbs down, based on whatever you felt about the video subscribe turn on notifications hit that bell icon? If you haven't yet, and thanks a lot for watching till next time, my name is ash.

You've been watching c4 retch, and I'm signing off. For now. You guys have a great day bye, bye.
