Motorola Moto G62 5G review: specs, battery & used prices

Summary

The Motorola Moto G62 5G is the 2022 budget 5G of the G line, running the Snapdragon 480 Plus in a 6.5-inch 120 Hz LCD, with a 5000 mAh battery, 15 W charging, and a 184-gram body. Our catalog scores it 39 on everyday use, 19 on camera and 89 on compactness. A 50-megapixel main camera leads the array, and the 4/64 GB trim is tracked at about $260 new. The Motorola Moto G52 is the 4G sibling, and the Motorola Moto G73 is the newer 5G generation.

Display and design

The 6.5-inch LCD refreshes at 120 Hz, scoring 39 on our screen axis: smooth scrolling at budget cost, with a 500-nit ceiling that stays workable indoors. No ingress rating is documented, and at 184 grams the body earns the compactness score of 89.

Performance

The Snapdragon 480 Plus posts an everyday axis of 39 and a gaming axis of 4: dependable everyday apps with 5G data, while demanding titles remain out of range. Tracked trims carry 4 to 8 GB of RAM across 64 to 128 GB of storage, and no software-window figure is documented.

Camera

The camera axis of 19 rests on a 50-megapixel main sensor with an 8-megapixel ultrawide and a 2-megapixel auxiliary lens. Daylight shots are acceptable for the class; without stabilization and any documented video specification, the camera is a utility set with genuine framing range.

Battery and charging

The 5000 mAh battery scores 40 on our battery axis, an easy full day at this pace, while 15 W charging scores 0 — overnight refills are the realistic routine. Endurance remains the dependable half of the budget equation here.

Verdict

At about $260 new for 4/64 GB, the Moto G62 5G answers a simple question: 5G and a 120 Hz screen on the leanest G-series budget. Screen smoothness and battery carry the pitch; the Moto G53 and G73 bring newer platforms, and the G52 trades 5G for an OLED panel.
