Design and Display
The Motorla Moto G10 seems to have a design based on the Moto G30 architecture, however, it does away with glossyness, leaving us with a design that appears to be more subtle.
On the build side, we have got plastic on the rear and frame, glass upfront and also water repellant coating, which is pretty much like the Moto G30.
The placements on the rear are very similar to what we have on its more premium sibling. Here we have a square camera module with four cameras and an LED flash. We also have the Motorola mascot embedded in a capacitive fingerprint sensor, which sort of indicates its a Motorola smartphone.
The Motorola Moto G10 comes in two colour variants, Aurora Grey and Iridescent Pearl, which could end up being a dilema for people that aren’t into any of the colour options.
Upfront, we have got the same 6.5-inches IPS LCD display, only with a 90Hz refresh rate. This display has a resolution of 720 x 1600 and a density of 269 PPI. This display is surrounded by what modern day standard describes as bulky.
The Cameras
Making camera comparisons with the G30 being the principal, shows that the Moto G10 did shed some pixels off its front and rear camera setup. However, this doesn’t mean enthusiasts are left with a horrible camera. Its still a capable camera system, capable of capturing memorable moments.
The rear setup comprises a 48MP primary camera with an aperture of f/1.7, an 8MP utrawide camera with an aperture of f/2.2 and a 118˚ field of view.
The other members of the rear camera department includes 2MP macro camera with an aperture of f/2.4 and a 2MP depth camera with an aperture of f/2.4. This camera is capable of recording videos up to 1080p @ 30fps.
Moving upfront, we have a single 8MP camera with an f/2.2. This camera is also capable of shooting videos up to 1080p @ 30fps.
Hardware and Software
The Motorola Moto G10 holds an Octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 460 processor, an Adreno 610 GPU, 4GB RAM and a non-removable 5000mAh battery in its performance arsenal.
Having a 5000mAh battery paired with charging maxed out 10W means enthusiasts would need to cultivate some patience. However, things like this are sort of expected on low-cost Android smartphones, as it one of the ways enthusiasts can cut costs.
On the software side, the Motorola Moto G10 runs pure Android user interface, on top of the Android 11 operating system.
Connectivity
The Motorola Moto G10 features a 3.5mm headphone jack, a Micro-USB port, low-energy Bluetooth 5.0, WiFi, and NFC.
Internet connectivity here is capped at 4G, which means enthusiasts won’t be able to utilize 5G connectivity for downloads, uploads, and streaming.
