Moto G42 Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
7.0/10
Verdict
The Moto G42 won`t woo you away with its performance chops. That said, the handset flaunts a beautiful screen which touts good colour calibration for the price. Add to that the handset`s long-lasting battery life, great stereo speakers, clean software, decent cameras, and fast charging tech, and the G42 makes for a decent buy.
Pros
- Good display
- Long battery life
- Capable stereo speakers
- Clean software
Cons
- Screen lacks high refresh rate
- Staid design
- Low light photography could have been better
- Average performance
