The best cheap phones for 2024: Here are our favorites
The Moto G 5G 2023 Is Now An Even Better Deal For The Frugal Enthusiast With That Sweet Discount On Amazon
We, as tech enthusiasts, love expensive, super, ultra, mega-powerful smartphones with gazillion cameras that take photos with out-of-this-world picture quality. And while phones like the Galaxy S24 Ultra, the iPhone 15 Pro Max, and the OnePlus 12 may make us feel like small kids enjoying their favorite toys, sometimes opting for a budget phone is the smartest financial decision despite our hearts saying that we should go for one of these powerhouses. After all, it's better to go for a more budget-friendly smartphone if you are in need of a second phone or using your primary handset for only web browsing and watching TikTok. And now, you can snag an awesome pocket-friendly phone at an even lower price by taking advantage of this deal.Amazon is currently selling the Motorola Moto G 5G 2023 at a sweet 32% discount, allowing you to save $80 on this already pretty affordable smartphone if you are quick enough and grab one through this offer while it's still up for grabs.
The Motorola Moto G 5G 2023 may not be a powerlifter, but the modest Snapdragon 480+ chipset and 4GB of RAM on board, give it enough horsepower to deal with daily stuff like web browsing and video streaming without issues. However, multitasking and running demanding apps on this bad boy are a no-go.
On the camera front, the Motorola Moto G 5G 2023 sports a 48MP main shooter and an 8MP selfie snapper. Both cameras can take surprisingly good-looking photos as long as there is plenty of light. Otherwise, the pictures aren't of stellar quality, which is completely normal for such a budget phone. Moreover, both sensors can capture videos at up to 1080p at 30fps.
The biggest selling point of budget phones is their battery life. And as a proper budget phone, the Motorola Moto G 5G 2023 can last as much as two days on a single charge thanks to its huge 5,000 mAh battery on board.
Motorola Launches Cheapest $90 Android 14 Phone That Still Beats The IPhone 15 Specs
Motorola just outed what might be considered the world's cheapest phone with Android 14. The Motorola Moto G04 starts form the equivalent of $85 and will be released on February 22. The "top" Moto G04 version comes with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage but will still cost under $100, just like the Moto G Play's current promo in the US. For that extremely affordable price tag, the Moto G04 offers a display that is 50% faster than what's on the $700 iPhone 15, underlining once again how inexplicable the fragmentation between Apple's iPhone Pro and regular lines has become. We recently pointed out that the new Galaxy S24 display specs make the iPhone 15 price seem even more exorbitant and now even the lowly Moto G04 manages to beat the iPhone in one important aspect. Motorola G04 come with a 90Hz display refresh, for instance, while the iPhone 15 is still stuck at the slow and choppy 60Hz refresh that even $100 phones can now beat. Needless to say, most of its other specs are way below what the iPhone offers, but the sheer fact that it can even challenge it to a point is rather worrying.The Moto G04 also comes with a huge 5,000 mAh battery that should allow it to comfortably beat the iPhone 15 in terms of battery life as well, considering the 6.6-inch display's HD+ resolution. It also has a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, as well as face unlock with the 5MP selfie camera.
On the back, a 16MP main camera is nothing to write home about, as are the budget level chipset, or the 15W charging speed. The Moto G04 still offers Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity, and even a 3.5mm audio jack, though. The water-repellant body comes in four cool color schemes - Concord Black, Sea Green, Satin Blue, and Sunrise Orange - bringing some elegance to the most value-for-money phone with Android 14 there is.
Unfortunately, Motorola's Android update schedule for its cheapest phones means that the G04 will probably stay on Android 14 forever, but given its target Indian market and sub-$100 price, this is unlikely to bother its buyers all that much, as long as Moto keeps its security updates promise.Moto G04 – 5 Cool Features Of New Budget Android 14 Phone From Motorola

Plus, it is geared for light spills and splashes.

Bright display: the G04 comes with a 6.6-inch punch-hole display with a 90Hz refresh rate. The High Brightness mode automatically adjusts the display outdoors so it's easier to see, reaching peak brightness levels of up to 537 nits. There's also a Night Light mode that tints the screen amber, making the display easier to view in dim lighting conditions. This display is backed by a massive 5000 mAh battery under the hood. The audio set up gets a boost with Dolby Atmos.
Moto G04 comes in four shades: Concord Black, Sea Green, Satin Blue, and Sunrise Orange.
Hardware highlights: a UNISOC T606 chipset combines with a choice of two hardware variants – 4GB/64GB and 8GB/128GB. Storage can be expanded up to 1TB with support for a microSD card slot.
Android 14 out of the box: one of Motorola's selling points is its pureplay Android experience minus bloatware and custom skins. The device comes with the latest version of Android (14) – that's a rarity in this segment right now.
AI-powered camera: the G04 comes with a 16MP AI-powered camera that captures sharp images with the help of automatic AI enhancements. The camera comes with smart features like HDR and Portrait mode. A 5MP selfie cam is also in the mix.
