Motorola Moto g34 5G review: Better budget options
Motorola's Moto g34 5G does a reasonable job as a budget phone, but for an extra $20 you can get the much, much better g54 5G model, making this hard to recommend.

The Moto g54 is one of my favourite budget mobile phones. With an RRP of $299, it ticks so many boxes in the balance between price and performance and offers exceptional value.
So for Motorola to launch the Moto g34 5G, which costs $279 RRP, I have to wonder just how much value there is in those missing $20 to make this phone a viable option.
The answer is that the g34 isn’t just the Moto g54 5G with a slightly worse screen. There are several differences between the phones, and while I’ll break them down for you, the result is that I’d recommend just spending the extra $20 for the g54 5G.
