Short Review
- The Motorola Moto M features a sleek design with a glass front and aluminum back, measuring 151.4 x 75.4 x 7.9 mm and weighing 163 grams.
- Its 5.5-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels, providing sharp visuals at approximately 401 ppi.
- Performance is driven by the Mediatek MT6755 Helio P10 or P15 chipset, paired with either 3GB or 4GB of RAM, ensuring smooth multitasking.
- The rear camera boasts a 16 MP sensor with f/2.0 aperture, capable of recording 1080p video at 30fps, while an 8 MP front camera caters to selfies.
- The 3050 mAh battery supports 10W charging but lacks wireless charging capabilities.
- Running on Android 6.0.1 (Marshmallow), the software experience is straightforward, although it may feel dated compared to newer versions.
- Connectivity options include dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.1, and USB Type-C, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device is available in Gold, Gray, and Silver colors, adding to its aesthetic appeal.
- Notably, it includes a headphone jack, which is becoming less common in modern smartphones.
- Overall, the Moto M combines solid build quality with decent performance and camera capabilities.
