EDITORIAL: The 2024 wouldn't be the same without this excellent compact midranger. It's plastic frame with a vegan leather back comes with IP68 water and dust protection as well as Military grade impact and temp protection. Colors are cool as well - Motorola has been working with Pantene to create beautiful and very unique handsets. The phone may be "low powered" but you won't notice it in daily use - Mediatec 7300 is a good midrange processor supporting efficient battery life - close to a full day (24 hours) of use. Charging is decent, even has a 15W wireless option. Good cameras include a 3x zoom lense and a AF ultrawide one while the main camera is a pleasure to use, day or night. 5 years of OS updates and yes - Motorola's good desktop replacement software is there, wired or wireless!
Both phones here were scored by me, using the same ten categories, with no ads, sponsorships, or manufacturer relationships — this comparison is as objective and honest as it gets.
