Motorola Moto G75 5G: 30-second review
Motorola has gone for consistency with their Moto range, with everything from the entry-level Moto G04 through to the flagship Moto Edge 50 Ultra featuring much the same design and basic layout. However, real change comes with the quality of the building and construction as you step up, especially with the G75 5G.
What's surprising for a phone at this price range is just how tough it is, and this is definatly the headline feature of this handset. The fact that it has MIL-STD-810H durability, as certified by the US military, and IP68 waterproofing is quite unusual for a phone at this price point.
Likewise, inside, it's relatively well-equipped, if mid range. While the processor, GPU, RAM, and storage aren't cutting edge, the inclusion of the latest Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 CPU enables decent performance. Through my tests, I was generally impressed with how it handled both documents and image editing, although some high demand graphic processing did push the system.
What really gives this the edge compared to many of the best rugged phones I've tested is how highly specialised it is for the price point. Motorola has clearly made a few cutbacks on features, such as the LED screen instead of OLED. However, you need to compare the screen side-by-side with an OLED display to notice much difference. There might be a slight difference in brightness, but in day-to-day use, the fact that it's LED rather than OLED doesn't really have any impact. Additionally, there's no fingerprint recognition built into the screen; instead, it's integrated into the power button. These limitations in the specifications don't affect the overall functionality or usability of the handset
