Motorola "Moto G50 5G" Review -5G smartphone recommended for those who want simple and affordable products

Motorola "Moto G50 5G".Equipped with Android 11, the price is 32,800 yen

Motorola has a presence as a brand of SIM free smartphone.The design philosophy common to many models is simple and low price.It is a brand that is worth considering for those who want to get a smartphone that is easy to use at an affordable price, although it is not suitable for those who want "all".

The price of this Moto G50 5G is 32,800 yen (selling price at the Motorola official store).In the same price range as OPPO A54 5G, it is the lowest class class among 5G -compatible SIM -free smartphones.

If I summarize the advantages and weaknesses of Moto G50 5G as the author, I felt that it would be as follows.

Based on this, let's take a closer look at the product.

Moto G50 5G is a model in the price range of the “cheap smartphone”, but at first glance it does not make you feel cheap.Both the sides and the back are resin materials, but they are finished with an aluminum alloy and curved glass -like "high -looking" appearance.I felt that it looked like a long -lasting smartphone, so that it was easy to attach.

However, I was worried that the body was a little thick.The size on the catalog specifications is about 167 x 76.4 x 9.26mm (the thinnest part).The display is about 1mm from the side frame.The weight is about 206g, which is reasonable.

The buttons are integrated on the right side, consisting of Google Assistant key, volume up and lower buttons, and power buttons from above.The power button is also a fingerprint sensor.

The terminals are equipped with USB Type-C terminal and 3.5mm earphone jack at the bottom of the main unit.The left side has a SIM / microSD slot.

The attached clear case that has been installed since the box is opened is a good quality that you want to keep using as it is.

The display is equipped with a 6.5 -inch IPS LCD.The aspect ratio is 20: 9, a shape from the vertical length.Although it is a narrow frame, the lower chin bezel is slightly thicker.

This display is unusual for a low -priced smartphone, and has a 90Hz drive high flame rate.Since the animation when switching the screen is displayed smoothly, such as scrolling on a website, it is characterized by the fact that the eyes are not tired even if used for a long time.

I felt that the large and smooth display was compatible with e -books while using it.The size of 6.5 inches can display one page of the manga in a moderate size.

However, the resolution is low for the size, which is 1,600 x 720 dots (HD+).Especially when I looked at the web browser or when playing a video, I felt that it was not very clear.

Motorola's smartphone is characterized by its minimum customization.Many apps are installed from the beginning on smartphones sold by mobile carriers, but there are few pre -installed apps that are not used in Motorola's smartphones.

In addition to Google apps, it is equipped with tools such as cameras, calculators and FM radio.Motorola -like apps include "Moto" apps that introduce unique functions, "device help" that provides information on how to use smartphones and guarantee services, and "interactive wallpaper" that sets your own wallpaper.There is no app that notifies new products.

And the gesture function that can be set from the "Moto" app has something that "reaches itchy".

For example, a function such as a "quick capture" that starts the camera twice and the camera starts twice, and a "simple light" that lit its lights twice is a convenient function that can be used intuitively.

In addition, "power touch", which double taps the fingerprint sensor (power button) and opens the shortcuts of the application, can be said to be a practical small skill function.

In addition, gestures that make Android more convenient, such as gestures that easily launch split displays and screenshot shooting, and functions to record your own while playing game play, are also included.

The main camera consists of 48 million pixels (F/1.7) +2 million pixel depth sensor (F/2.4) + 2 million pixel macros (F/2.4).In effect, it is a 48 -megapixel single -eye camera, and the depth sensor and macro camera work aid in some scenes.

It has a large sensor of 48 million pixels, but the resolution of the photos that can be taken is set at 12 million pixels.This is because the four pixels are treated as one large pixel, so that you can take a bright picture of a night view and other scenes.The depth sensor is used when adding blur effect in portrait mode.

The macro camera has a dedicated mode, and when approaching a small subject, you will find a macro mode recommended on the camera application.You can approach a small subject to about 4cm.

In this verification, there was not enough time to try the camera enough, so it gives an impression in a week for about a week, but you can take a picture on a daily basis, such as landscapes, outdoor portrait photography, bright indoors.If you have a scene, you can do it enough.

The image generally did not overload the color, and tended to be faithful to the appearance, and the expression of the sky, especially when shooting a group of buildings dyed at the sunset, was a good impression.

On the other hand, the macro shooting function was not enough light and tended to be faded, and there were situations where I thought, "I wish it would be a little more vivid."

The camera also includes some unique functions."Spot color", which is no longer familiar in Motoras Maho, emphasizes a specific color in monochrome photos.If you use it well, you can take a simple but memorable photo.This spot color function also supports video shooting.

In the in -camera, "group shots" are also interesting features.You can take a horizontally long selfie by tilting your smartphone in the manner of taking a panoramic photo.

Although it was a small part, the shutter sound was somewhat harsh.With a sharp sound, it sounds at a maximum volume even if it is set in manner mode.Even when shooting the screenshot, a loud noise sounds, so it seems that consideration is required when used on a train.

5G supports the SUB6 frequency band and does not support millimeters.The corresponding frequency is Band N1 / N3 / N7 / N8 / N8 / N20 / N20 / N38 / N38 / N40 / N41 / N66 / N77 / N78, which covers most of the frequency bands developed by major domestic carriers.The same is true for 4G LTEs, including a wide range of frequency bands, including DOCOMO's Band19 and au's Band18 / 26, especially in rural areas.

Even if I actually used it, it became 5G score as soon as I entered the 5G area, and the video playback and the display of the website were displayed at high speed.At present, the 5G area is expanding, but as the area expands, the number of scenes that can be used comfortably will increase.

Motorola's smartphone has many models that can be used together with two -line standby (DSDV) using two nanosims and MicroSD cards.In the case of Moto G50 5g, we support "DSDV in 5G and 4G LTE".

Simultaneous standby for two lines is useful depending on how you use it.For example, if you use a low -priced MVNO line as the main, and when traveling, you can use two SIMs when you use POVO 2.0's "24 -hour unlimited topping" to high -speed communication.Yes.

The second SIM slot is exclusively used with a microSD slot.If you want to use two SIM cards, you cannot insert a microSD card.

The battery capacity is 5,000 mAh, which is a large capacity, and says that Motorola says that it can be used for about 2 days in a single charge.However, from the real feeling that I used in the verification, it is not much better to have a battery than other smartphones.

Browsing and browsing Twitter for 3 hours, taking a total of 2 hours of video playback and taking a few photos with NHK Plus and Amazon Prime Video, it is a normal usage for me, but the 5,000mAh battery is about half a day.I almost used up.

The quick charging supports the charging of up to 10W, that is, 5V/2A.It takes about an hour and a half from about 5 % battery level to full charge.

I connected a USB-PD-compliant charger and a charger compatible with Anker PowerIQ3.0, but both were charged up to 10W.I feel that the charging speed may be a little faster for the size of the battery.

The processor is equipped with a Dimensity 700 (8 cores) made by MediaTek.A middle high -class processor that supports 5G.The performance of the processor is about the same performance as Snapdragon 690, which is used by AQUOS SENSE6, compared with QuallComm's processor.The memory capacity is 4GB, which is small.

As for the actual feeling of use, I felt that it could be used without stress at all if I only moved a Twitter application or browser in a 5G environment.The camera app is also stable.

If the game is simple, you can play comfortably, but a game that uses 3D graphics will be really tough.As a representative of the latter, I tried "Harajin", but it was an impression that the display delay was noticeable even when the resolution was set to "low".

Like other smartphones of Motorola, Moto G50 5G is not compatible with Osaifu -Keitai.For this, those who do not use Osaifu -Keitai will not be particularly troubled.

The waterproof performance is equivalent to IP52.In other words, it is not waterproof but drip -proof, that is, it does not break if it gets wet in the rain.People who don't use this may not be bothered, but even with low -cost smartphones, waterproofing is progressing, and I would like to respond if possible.

One of the special points of Moto G50 5G is that it has achieved a low price of the lower 30,000 yen range while supporting 5G.In the restriction of the price, the impression is that many people, such as a large -screen display of 90Hz drive and a camera with a strong night view, have been included as much as possible.

What can be said to be unique to Motorola is the simplicity of reducing its own apps as much as possible.In addition, it is considered to increase usability in detail by incorporating its own gesture operation.All of the unique functions can be used intuitively, and it is good in that they are organized and guided so that users are easy to understand.

However, there are many parts that think "another voice", such as the resolution is not so high for the large screen, the quick charging is not so fast, and the memory is slightly less.The simple comfort is "all -rounder", but on the other hand, the impression that "the obi is shortened and the length is long".

Nevertheless, the price of 30,000 yen for a 5G smartphone is also attractive.At the time of MVNO sale, you can get it at a price that exceeds it.Like "OCN Mobile ONE" (Reference: https: //www.ntt.com/personal/services/mobile/set/motog505g.html), sold at a price of 5500 yen in a set with voice SIM.There is also MVNO.

At the moment, the 5G area is limited to some of the central Tokyo, but it is expected to expand in the first half of 2022.The Moto G50 5G, which supports the 5G frequency band of 4 carriers, is likely to be the most reasonable smartphone to enjoy its high -speed communication.
