Software and Performance

Software

The Moto G14 runs Android 13  with Motorola MyUX 4.0  on top. MyUX is a relatively light skin that doesn’t add too much bloatware and offers some customization options. For example, you can change the icon shape, font and highlight colour.  One of the best things about MyUX is that it is very fast and responsive. Despite being an affordable phone, the Moto G14  doesn’t feel slow or sluggish. This is due to the combination of Android 13 and MyUX, both of which are very well-optimized.

 

Performance

The Moto G14 is powered by the Unisoc T616 processor, which is a mid-range processor. It’s not the fastest chip on the market, but it’s powerful enough for everyday tasks like browsing the web, checking email and using social media.  The Moto G14 also comes with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. That’s a lot of RAM for a budget phone and should be enough to open multiple apps at the same time without any problems. As for benchmarks, the Moto G14 scored 280 on Geekbench 5. This is a reasonable price for a budget phone and comparable to other phones in the same price range.

This is based on a mixed usage scenario of 3 hours of talk time, 12 hours of web browsing and 6 hours of gaming.
