Why This Phone
BudgetThe Motorola Moto G45 is a quintessential budget device. It earns a high value score due to its very low price point while offering 5G connectivity and a 120Hz display. Performance is adequate for daily tasks but limited by the entry-level Snapdragon 6s Gen 3. The display is the weakest link due to the 720p resolution, which is low by 2024 standards. Popularity is estimated as moderate, as Motorola maintains strong brand recognition in the budget segment, particularly in emerging markets where this device is positioned.
