• RAM: 4GB or 6GB
• Storage: 128GB
• Display: 6.5-inch HD+ LCD, 120Hz refresh rate

First Impressions:

The elegant and contemporary design of the Moto G34 5G includes a glass back with a punch-hole display (the Ocean Green model sports a chic vegan leather back instead). A feature that is uncommon at this price point, the 120Hz refresh rate maintains scrolling fluid and animations enjoyable. Under the hood, the Snapdragon 695 offers respectable performance for light gaming and daily duties. It may not be the ultimate powerhouse, but it can easily handle the majority of daily tasks.

Snaps of the camera:

Even though it is simple, the camera configuration works well. In daylight, the 50MP primary sensor produces respectable images, while the 2MP depth sensor gives your portraits a magical bokeh effect. Your ideal companion for video calls and selfies is the 16MP front camera.

Battery Extravaganza:

One real winner is the 5000mAh battery. With moderate use, it comfortably lasts the entire day on a single charge. Additionally, the 18W quick charging is helpful when you do require a top-up.

One Choice, Two Flavours:

Two versions of the Moto G34 5G are available to meet varying demands and price ranges:

• 4GB RAM + 128GB Storage: 
• At Rs. 10,999 in India, this is the most economical option and the base variant.
• It has sufficient RAM for commonplace activities like social media browsing and light gaming.
• For most users, 128GB of storage should be plenty, although heavier app users may need to exercise caution when managing their storage.
• available in the following three colours: ocean green, sea blue, and star black (with a vegan leather back).
• 6GB RAM + 128GB Storage:
• This variant offers a bit more headroom for multitasking and heavier apps, especially games.
• The extra 2GB RAM can make a noticeable difference in smoother performance and faster loading times.
• Starting at Rs. 11,999, it's only Rs. 1,000 more than the 4GB version, making it a good value upgrade for users who plan on demanding more from their phone.
• Also available in all three color options.

Here's a quick look at the ratings and reviews for each:

• 4GB RAM + 128GB Storage:
• Gadgets 360: 4/5 stars, praising its long battery life, smooth display, and clean software experience. However, they noted the average camera performance and lack of NFC.
• TechQ: 8/10, highlighting its value for money, 120Hz display, and fast charging. They found the software experience good but mentioned occasional sluggishness with heavy multitasking.
• Android Central: 7/10, appreciating its clean Android experience, decent battery life, and affordable price. However, they criticized the average camera and lack of water resistance.
• 6GB RAM + 128GB Storage:
• TechBurner: 4.5/5 stars, praising its excellent performance, long battery life, and beautiful design with the vegan leather back. They found the camera decent but not exceptional.
• TelecomTalk: 8.5/10, commending its smooth performance, 120Hz display, and clean software. They mentioned the lack of ultrawide camera as a minor downside.
• MySmartPrice: 4.2/5 stars, appreciating its good performance, fast charging, and long battery life. They noted the average camera and plastic build as slight drawbacks.

All things considered, the Moto G34 5G offers fair value for the money in both variants, with the 6GB RAM version offering significantly smoother performance for more discerning customers. The decision ultimately comes down to your financial situation and personal needs.
