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
