Design

Characteristic of the new G series is that it features a new layout of the rear camera module. In everything else the features are preserved. Therefore, visually in the Motorola Moto G71 5G you will not see anything exclusive and atypical. The panel has a gradient effect, which many users consider very beautiful.

As for the frames around the screen, they are relatively small. The top and bottom are a bit wider, but the overall picture remains balanced.

The front camera of the Motorola Moto G71 5G is built into the screen. Although the display has not received Gorilla Glass protection, the glass is tempered. It is good to protect it from scratches.

In terms of dimensions, the smartphone is not small. At the same time the device is light and thin, the screen is high and narrow. This makes it realistically convenient to use the Motorola Moto G71 5G with one hand.

Display

If before the Moto G series had IPS displays, now the company's developers have decided to rely on OLED. This type of matrix is ​​already present in the Moto G41. Offers juicy colors, better contrast and depth of black. In addition, the brightness is also impressive.

So Motorola Moto G71 5G offers a picture that is beautiful and captivating with its natural colors. The resolution is also adequate - 1800 x 2400 pixels. The only downside is the refresh rate. It is limited to 60 Hz.

Another positive feature of the Motorola Moto G71 5G is the excellent performance of the automatic brightness adjustment of the screen. You also have the option of adjusting the color temperature, as well as three options for saturation of shades.

Productivity

Motorola Moto G71 5G may belong to the budget class of devices, but it offers performance that ensures smooth and fast operation. The smartphone is updated to the needs of the user. At its heart is a fresh Snapdragon 695. It was announced at the end of 2021 and is energy efficient. It contains two Kryo 660 cores (Cortex-A78) and 6 Kryo 660 cores (Cortex-A55) and is combined with an Adreno 619 video chip.

The smartphone is available in several configurations, in which the storage remains unchanged - 128 GB. There is no memory card slot.

It is time to recall that for some time the software of Moto allows to expand the RAM at the expense of storage. So you can add a little to it in case of need.

Cameras

Motorola Moto G71 5G has a stylish design and a good set of cameras, competitive with those of alternative offers on the market. The main camera, for example, is a combination of three modules. The main one is 50-megapixel. It is combined with an 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera and a 2-megapixel macro sensor.

Like other Moto models, photos are not automatically saved in maximum resolution. Instead, it relies on the technology of combining four pixels into one. Thus, the photos are stored at 12.5MP. You can activate the maximum resolution of the settings whenever you want.

With the Motorola Moto G71 5G you will create quality photos during the day and worthy of attention at night. The manufacturer has set a special night mode with which you can light up the scenes.

The wide-angle camera does its job well, and the macro lens is mediocre.

With Motorola Moto G71 5G in hand you can shoot videos with a maximum resolution of 1080. For 4K you will have to look for another model on the market. The quality is good, the work of the autofocus and the digital stabilization is flawless.

A curious feature is the ability to run another application in a small window while playing games. You also have the option to split the screen into two parts.

Autonomous work

Motorola Moto G71 5G is powered by a battery with a capacity of 5000 mAh. Thanks to the optimized software and the energy-efficient processor, the autonomous operation is good. You can work with the device for about two days before you need to recharge. However, with the screen constantly active, prepare the charger for up to 10 hours.

Complete with the phone you get a charger with a power of 33W. With its help you can recover 50% of the charge in just half an hour.

Conclusion

Motorola Moto G71 5G is a smartphone designed for users on a budget. It offers good value for money.
