Moto G45 5G 8GB RAM Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
7.9/10
Verdict
The Moto G45 is all about value for money. The handset ticks many right boxes in this regard but it would have been better to get a full HD display at this price point. Having said that, the phone offers a butter-smooth 120Hz refresh rate, an impressive processor, and a clean software experience. These features enhance the overall appeal of the handset and make it a compelling buy.
Pros
- Capable chipset delivers impressive performance
- Good camera performance for the price range
- Responsive 120Hz display
- Vegan leather design makes the phone stand out
Cons
- Battery life could have been better
- Peak display brightness should have been higher

moto G45 is one of the most affordable handsets with a vegan leather back design. If you've used other Motorola handsets with a vegan leather back, this might be a huge reason for you to consider this phone. However, I must inform you that all vegan leather backs are not built the same. While I would still prefer this phone's back panel over a plastic one, it is a noticeable downgrade from the panels on the Edge series handsets. I'm only highlighting this so that you don't expect a similar design standard as truth be told, the G45 is a well-designed phone. I hate phone designs that have excessively protruding camera sensors and in the case of the G45, the camera bump is negligible.

Display

The G45 features a 6.5-inch HD+ (1,600 x 720 pixels) IPS LCD display, which is fairly standard in this price segment. While the chin is a bit thick for my liking, I didn't find it to be distracting in regular usage. While watching videos on the display or playing games, I was fairly content but it would have been nice to have an FHD panel here.

Cameras

The G45 packs a 50MP primary camera sensor with f/1.8 aperture and Quad Pixel technology. The primary shooter is assisted by a 2MP unit with PDAF and f/2.4 aperture. My camera experience with the G45 was a bit of a mixed bag as the handset did a good job of capturing details but it also boosted the colours unnaturally.

Performance and software
+
Thanks to the Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 chipset, the G45 handles daily tasks with ease and even tackles multitasking really well for a phone from this price range. The phone offers up to 8GB of built-in RAM and 128GB of storage. While I initially had some concerns that the handset could present crashing issues, the RAM extension up to 16GB RAM ensured that I got a consistent and smooth performance out of the G45. One of the surprising aspects about using the G45 was that the phone warmed up a bit after using for around 15-20 minutes. I've used several phones with vegan leather back and never experienced this issue.

Battery and charging

The G45 comes with a 5,000mAh battery with 20W fast-charging support. The handset took 94 minutes to charge from 20 to 100 percent, which is quite a respectable time in this price range.
