Motorola Moto G24 review: specs, battery & used prices

Summary

The Motorola Moto G24 is a 2024 entry-level phone on the MediaTek Helio G85, with a 6.56-inch 90 Hz IPS LCD rated at 570 nits, a 5000 mAh battery with 15 W charging, and an IP52 body at 180 grams. Our catalog scores it 27 on everyday use and 91 on compactness — among the lightest and handiest bodies of its class — with the 4/128 GB trim tracked near $129 new. A 50-megapixel main camera without stabilization is joined by a 2-megapixel auxiliary sensor. The Motorola Moto G05 is the splash-sealed sibling of the price region, while the Motorola Moto G22 is the previous-generation alternative.

Display and design

The 6.56-inch IPS LCD refreshes at 90 Hz with a 570-nit rating, scoring 30 on our screen axis: smooth and adequate, basic in brightness. IP52 sealing resists splashes, and at 180 grams with a compactness score of 91 the G24 is one of the easiest-handling large-screen entry phones our catalog tracks.

Performance

The Helio G85 posts an everyday axis of 27 and a gaming axis of 0: a familiar entry platform, fine for messaging, media and light apps. Tracked trims carry 4 to 8 GB of RAM, and the two-year software window is closing now — plan ownership accordingly.

Camera

The camera axis of 16 sits on a 50-megapixel main sensor without stabilization, with a 2-megapixel auxiliary sensor beside it and no video specification in our records. Daylight snapshots are dependable for the class; everything else is outside the design.

Battery and charging

The 5000 mAh battery scores 40 on our battery axis, a full day behind the frugal platform, while 15 W charging earns a charging axis of 0 — the slowest refill tier we track, so overnight charging is the norm.

Verdict

Near $129 new for 4/128 GB, the Moto G24 is a light, handy, strictly utilitarian phone: a 90 Hz screen, splash sealing and long runtimes, with camera, gaming and charging speed at entry minimums. The Moto G05 trades camera resolution for a slightly bigger cell and fresher design; both serve the same buyer.
