Launched back in November last year, the Motorola Moto G84 5G is an affordable 5G smartphone with a $399 RRP.
When you think about cheap phones under the $500 mark, you typically think about sacrifice. What features and functions are you going to have to give up to be able to buy this phone for such an affordable price?
Oftentimes, the design is the first thing to go. Cheap phones usually don’t offer the same sleek designs as premium smartphones.
But the Moto G84 is an exception. I tested the G84 in PANTONE’s colour of the year 2023, Viva Magenta, and it was both striking and vibrant to look at and to hold.
Coupled with a pretty solid screen and a reasonable processor, the Moto G84 5G punches above its weight, making it an attractive option for smartphone shoppers on a budget.
