I’m here with the Moto G53 5G, an intermediate smartphone from Motorola, launched in December last year to maintain the tradition of great sales of the Moto G in Brazil. The G53 has been with us for a few days now to carry out various performance tests on Speedtest, battery and see if its cameras are up to the task. Does he do well in games? Does it have a long lasting battery? And the cameras? I answer you all this now.

Design
We always talk initially regarding the design of the devices that pass through here and the Moto G53 is very beautiful. With a matte plastic back, the look is quite nice. The bulge that accommodates the cameras is not very big. The buttons on the right side are also economical in size and the device preserves the headphone jack.
This rear only has one worrying point: it is very smooth and slippery. So the tip is to put a protective cover (which does not come in the box) to extend your little friend’s useful life.
Bodies
The Moto G53’s screen isn’t bad, it’s a 6.5″ HD+ IPS, but with a 120Hz refresh rate, that is, you have an excellent size screen in your hands, with “ok” resolution and an incredible rate for fluid and fast movements.The IPS display only loses points when you place it side by side with an OLED or AMOLED display, so the differences are very noticeable, especially in images with black colors.
Apart from that single detail, the images on the Moto G53’s screen have a lot of definition and color preservation.
Performance
Look, we can’t classify the Moto G53 as a mid-range smartphone, at least not from what we might see in the performance tests. In game tests it was well below what we imagined. In the Speedtest likewise, the Moto G53 ranked low in tests such as AnTuTu, 3D Mark, Geekbenck and CPU Throttling.
Even with graphics at LOW, the Moto G53 suffered to get a smooth wheel seal in games that normally all cell phones take by letter in Smooth Wheel. Now, it’s obvious that if your desire is to have fun with casual games when you have some free time, etc, the Moto G53 has you covered – as long as you don’t want to demand high performance and graphics. For example, you will now have a cool experience for an ordinary user who would like a phone to work on social networks to send messages on Whatsapp.
Battery
If the performance was not as we wanted, in the battery we had a great result. In our tests – which consist of 7h45 divided into activities such as videos on Youtube, using the camera, playing casually and a stress test – the 5,000mAh of the Moto G53 supported the entire time, in addition to the additional 15 hours of standby time and ended the test with 9% of battery remaining.
To recharge the battery of 0-100%, the device took regarding 1h50 with the charger included in the 18W box.
Excellent result for anyone looking for a smartphone with a long battery life, following all, in moderate use this time tends to be even longer. It is the guarantee that you will hardly run out of battery before you get home.
As
Another very positive point is the stereo sound with two speakers of the Moto G53. The user can enjoy good audio in videos and games with Motorola’s Dolby Atmos technology. Through the app, you can also customize the speakers, choose and configure equalizations for different categories, such as music, movies, games and podcasts.
cameras
The Moto G53’s rear camera array has just two lenses, the main and a Macro. The brand chose not to use an ultrawide lens. The main one has 50MP f1.8 while the macro lens has 2MP f/2.4. The front camera is only 8MP. In both cameras the videos are up to 1080p30fps.
So my friends, the photos taken with the Moto G53 are pretty bad. Even in perfect lighting conditions (neither too bright nor too dark), the device does not deliver a satisfactory result. The images are noisy and the pixels are blurred and without definition. Colors, however, are preserved as the colors our eyes are beholding. That is good.
The selfies, as incredible as it may seem, the result is not so bad, as long as you take pictures during the day, because at night the consequence is disastrous.
In short, the Moto G53 is also not a reliable phone for those who want a minimally competent camera set.. The photos we collected with the device might easily be mistaken for a device from years ago.
Price
Coming to the price point, we have the icing on this bitter cake. The Moto G53 is costing BRL 1709.00 on the Motorola website and I found an Offer of BRL 1459.90 on our price aggregator. Anyway, I consider it a pretty high value for what the Moto G53 is delivering.

Within Motorola itself you will find more qualified options and similar prices, such as the Moto G82, whose price is also in the range of R$ 1700.00 and, as you can see in its review, it delivers much more.
Is there a price range where I would recommend buying the Moto G53?
Being quite honest, there is no indication of purchase of the Moto G53. Even if it costs R$800 reais, being fair to the brand, you would have headaches with the bad photos and the performance of this product in a very short space of time. It is better to look for an alternative and go for another one.
From everything you’ve seen and heard so far, it’s safe to say that NOT WORTH IT buy a Moto G53. The great battery doesn’t make up for the high price compared to poor performance and very limited cameras. The design is beautiful, but you can also find this in other Motorola devices that will deliver much more performance.
