Beautifully printed, however, I do have to admit that I'm a bit scared of scratching it, but that's on me if I do. It's wonderfully colorful. I'm obsessed with Van Gogh, so this matches my Kindle's case perfectly! The case is beautiful! The colors are vibrant and the case fits the phone like a glove. She absolutely LOVES it! Her expression when she opened it was priceless. I was able to get through a full day of use, with 90Hz active and around 3hrs 30mins of screen-on time, with more than 50% in the tank. I’m confident I could have made it through a second day, as long as I wasn’t expecting it to be a particularly intense one.If it isn’t sluggish speeds then it’s something else. Dreadful displays, poor battery life and sub-par designs – we’ve seen them all recently. As depressing as it may sound, it’s pretty much a guarantee these days that there’s going to be a caveat if you need a new phone and don’t have a lot of money to spend. Basemark GPU 1.2: OpenGL Medium Native | 1920x1080 OpenGL Medium Offscreen 3DMark / Sling Shot Extreme (Vulkan) Unlimited Physics Even without these benchmark figures, the Moto G22 feels sluggish in use. The onscreen keyboard struggled to keep pace with what I was typing, and scrolling the settings menu in the camera app was an infuriatingly juddery experience.

One saving grace is that the battery life remains unchanged. Lasting for a total of 21hrs 36mins in our video rundown test, the Moto G22 is the longest-lasting phone we’ve tested at this price recently, beating the Galaxy A13 by over two hours and the Nokia G21 by over four in the same test. This screen isn’t very sharp either, with a resolution of just 1600 x 720 (HD+ or 720p). It looks reasonably clear in general navigation, but hold the phone next to a bog-standard 1080p rival and you’ll notice the difference – especially with web content and photos. Which, let’s face it, represents much of what you’ll be doing with this phone.

The average temperature for the upper side under maximal load is 33.1 °C / 92 F, compared to the average of 32.7 °C / 91 F for the devices in the class Smartphone. All mobile phones are designed and manufactured by Motorola Mobility LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lenovo. The Moto G22 display is generous in size at 6.5 inches – and it stretches to an impressive (for the money) 90Hz refresh rate, if you activate it in the Settings menu. However, that’s just about where the goodwill ends. Motorola claims that the Moto G22 is “water-repellent”, but there’s no IP rating to seal the deal. To be fair, its inclusion at this price would have surprised somewhat. As I’ve already alluded to, the Moto G22 struggles to maintain that alleged 90Hz display refresh rate once activated, with frequent halts and stutters when simply navigating between homescreens and apps, and even among menus.

With the default 60Hz display setting left active (you might as well, given those performance issues), this is certainly a two-dayer. For one thing, It’s an LCD panel rather than the OLED included with the Moto G31 – which means it looks a little washed out. More problematically, it doesn’t get very bright at all. I left it cranked up to full or almost full the whole time, even in shady indoor conditions, and still could have done with more. The maximum temperature on the upper side is 35.9 °C / 97 F, compared to the average of 35 °C / 95 F, ranging from 21.9 to 56 °C for the class Smartphone. Unlike the Moto G50, the Moto G22 features an ultra-wide camera, which is a good thing. The tone of these shots is much cooler and flatter than results from the main sensor, of course, and there’s far less detail; but you’d expect that with any device in the budget category. The Moto G22 isn’t too impressive from a GPU perspective, either. 3DMark’s Wild Life test wouldn’t even run on the phone, while it scored a lowly 460 in the SlingShot Extreme test. The aforementioned Nokia G50 scored 2462, by way comparison.There are no great surprises with regards to how the Moto G22 looks or feels. The brand has long made some of the most reassuringly solid cheap phones on the market, and that continues to be true here. Low-light pictures are very good. Sure, there’s an increase in visual noise and the colours look a little warm, but I liked what I saw – the Nokia G21’s comparatively soft, watercolour-like nighttime images don’t look good at all. Video capture is sadly limited to 1080p at 30fps and there’s no form of stabilisation whatsoever, meaning footage looks quite wobbly. Motorola Moto G22 review: Verdict Talking of that display, it’s one of the weaker examples we’ve seen of late, with a mere 720p resolution and poor peak brightness. The Moto G22 also makes the jump to a MediaTek Helio G37 processor, replacing the Snapdragon 450 of last year’s Moto G10. This is accompanied by 4GB of RAM, 64GB of expandable storage, a large 5,000mAh battery and a quadruple-camera array on the rear. This consists of a main 50MP sensor, 8MP ultrawide and a pair of 2MP depth and macro units. Meanwhile, a single 16MP selfie camera sits on the front.
