Motorola Moto G62

Motorola is continuing its drive into the entry-position 5G request, particularly in Europe, with several G- series phones that aim to deliver great value at colourful price points. This time around, the subject of our review is the Moto G62- an assignee of the Moto G60 and G60S and the alternate in rank in this time’s G lineup. It’s important to note that the Indian request just got a different Moto G62 with a more important Snapdragon 695 chipset, but else identical tackle. The subject of our review is the global interpretation with a Snapdragon 480 SoC. The camera setup and large 5,000 mAh battery are participated across half a dozen Moto G phones, from the lowly G32 to the G82. This leaves the screen as the other major difference, alongside the chipset. And the Moto G62 gets a 6.5″ IPS TV panel with a caloric smooth 120Hz refresh rate.

Oneplus Nord CE2 Lite

The Nord CE 2 Lite 5G is the latest smartphone from OnePlus, additionally the most economical in the company’s present collection. Primarily tailored to be the entry-level alternative for customers in Europe and India, the Nord CE 2 Lite 5G is much like the Nord N20 5G which is being rolled out in North America. Expectations for its launch in Europe are in the offing. Relying on the novel Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 5G platform, the Nord CE 2 Lite 5G offers a 120Hz panel, a triple camera array, and a mammoth 5000mAh power supply with support for 33W SuperVOOC fast charging. The nearly related OnePlus Nord N20 in the US has an inferior battery capacity and a 90Hz AMOLED display, but differently, the two phones are nearly identical.

 

Design of Motorola Moto G62

The Moto G62 features a featherlight body made entirely out of plastic. The display has glass protection of unconfirmed origin. The plastic body allowed Motorola to keep the weight in check, the G62 tilting the scales at 185 grams. The reverse has twisted edges furnishing a more comfortable grip, while the camera islet is round and houses three vertically- piled cameras. The camera islet lies nearly flush with the rest of the aft panel, which is contributing to the aesthetics and precludes wobble when placing the phone on a table. A thing to note is that between the frontal glass and the side frame, a rather big and unwelcome crest is formed. Going around the sides, we find the power button and the volume rocker on the right. The former is accessibly deposited, but it’s fairly flat and not the easiest to detect by touch. The volume rocker is a bit too high up the frame and it would have been more accessible if it was on the left side of the frame. Moto G62 has a set of stereo speakers with the earpiece serving as one of the channels.

Design of Oneplus Nord CE2 Lite

The Oneplus Nord CE 2 Lite 5G incorporates a plain and humble design. On its backside, there is a synthetic finish which has a two-hue effect and a highly lustrous striated sheen in the part that surrounds the camera area. In contrast, the rest of the outer cover showcases a matte texture. The borders of the phone are also synthetic featuring sharp edges everywhere. Specifically, on the proper side, there is a sunken button to turn it on and off and several other power keys on the left side with no alert slider, which is common in other OnePlus devices. The front of this item has a flat display with a flimsy fortress of obscure origin. During our time testing the device, it suffered a few damage marks yielded over a couple of days, so its longevity is a bit questioned. Additionally, the measurements of the phone are ordinarily ample while its weight of 195g can be troublesome to operate for individuals with small hands.

 

Display of Motorola Moto G62

The Moto G62 features a6.5- inch 1080 x 2400px IPS TV panel supporting a 120Hz refresh rate. Unfortunately, the results from our tests do not make a good case for the display It peaked at 454 nits of brilliance in homemade mode and only boosted up to 553 nits in bus mode. That would have been kindly respectable maximum brilliance for an OLED, but the more reflective nature of TV panels makes its colours wash out under the direct sun. The G62’s panel is still impeccably usable, but not looking great. The panel does not have any HDR instruments and we do not anticipate it to.

Display of Oneplus Nord CE2 Lite  5G

The Nord CE 2 Lite 5G has a large 6.59-inch display, offering a dazzling 120Hz refresh rate and 2412×1080 resolution. The full sRGB and Display-P3 colour spaces are represented well. OnePlus has given a fairly unrestrictive definition of what they refer to as 120Hz, as numerous applications were seen to work continuously at this rate. Even so, most apps made the display switch to 90Hz while they were running. The display also adapts the refresh rate accordantly to the frames of 24 fps and 25 fps film or video material being viewed. All in all, viewing angles and contrast levels are good for a television screen of this kind.

 

Performance and Software of Motorola Moto G62

Still, the Moto G62 offers a significantly downgraded SoC- Snapdragon 480 vs, If you go by Qualcomm’s numbers you might suppose that compared to the Moto G60. Snapdragon 732G. still, the two chips have truly similar octa-core CPUs with two main Kryo 460 Gold Cortex- A76 secondary cores running at2.2 GHz( vs2.3 Ghz on the SD732G), while the other six energy-effective Kryo 460 tableware cores( Cortex- A55 derivatives) crack at1.8 GHz( matching the SD732G). The Moto G62’s Adreno 619 GPU should also be enough near the Adreno 618 from the G60. The two chipsets are indeed erected on the same 8nm process. There’s just one memory option and that’s 4 GB/ 128 GB.

The Indian iteration of the Motorola G62 functions on a significantly more powerful Snapdragon 695 processor compared to its predecessor, the Snapdragon 480. This mobile device also comes equipped with higher levels of RAM; either 6 GB or 8 GB. Motorola phones have often found favour with many due to their preference for retaining the original design of the Android OS, instead of drastically customizing it, as many other manufacturers do. While this minimalistic approach certainly has its pros and cons, there is no denying its superior performance. This is due to the newly installed Snapdragon 480, as well as pre-installed Android 12, with Android 13 still in Beta.

Performance and Software of Oneplus Nord CE2 Lite 5G

The Nord CE 2 Lite 5G operates on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 processor. In India, shoppers are presented with a choice of either 6GB or 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM. The storage space is restricted to 128GB of UFS2.2, yet there is also microSD support for extending the memory further. While trialling the device, its performance wasn’t exactly remarkable. The mobile does lag on occasion, which is by no means aided by the 120Hz refresh rate.

This phone is powered by OxygenOS12.1, sitting atop Android 12. The company has declared that the device will be entitled to two major Android updates as well as three years of security updates. Additionally, the Nord CE 2 Lite 5G has a performance mode which is present on OnePlus phones post-OxygenOS11.3. This mode ensures the clock frequencies always stay at the maximum instead of reacting proportionately to the need.

 

Camera of Motorola Moto G62

The Moto G62 employs the same optics setup as its more diminutive companion, which pales in comparison to other offerings. The Moto G62 5G boats a triple rear camera setup alongside an LED torch for image capturing. Its primary lens incorporates a 50 MP sensor that sports a maximum opening of 1.8. To the side, it flaunts an 8 MP ultra-wide lens with a f/2.4 aperture. Lastly, a 2 MP macro lens wields an f/2.4 aperture. Taking the lead in selfies and video chats is a 16 MP front camera featuring a 2.2-micron aperture.

The camera of Nord CE3 Lite 5G

The Nord CE 2 Lite 5G has a triadic camera system on the reverse. This includes a 64MP f1.7 main camera, 2MP f2.4 macro camera, and a depth detector. This means the Nord CE 2 Lite 5G has just a single usable camera on the reverse. On the front is a 16MP f2.0 camera. The camera operation is kindly introductory, taking into consideration the tackle on offer. There’s a full pro mode, for illustration, but there is no option to capture images in RAW. You can zoom in but it’s each done digitally. The videotape recording is limited to just 1080p 30 fps in all modes. There is, still, a night mode as well as a portrayal mode.
