| Motorola Moto G60s | Unboxing & Full Tour | Review |
So another Motorola smartphone and this time it's the mighty
moto g60s an epic sized blow which serves up a massive battery with some proper
fast charging plus adjusters flipping huge 6.8 inch 120 hertz display all for
just 219 quid here in the uk
So what exactly will you find packed inside of this very
blue box apart from of course the
motorola moto g60s well you've got a
fresh new 50 watts turbo power adapter sexy bit of type c usb action and the
moto g60s does actually come pre-clad in a rubber johnny case to help keep it protected just going to whip
that off for the unboxing and that is everything that mod roller has packed
Inside of the box so first impressions of the motorola moto
g60s are certainly it looks and feels like a budget smartphone but it is also
bloody massive at 6.8 inches with a 212
gram weight you got a plastic chassis
here pretty standard for this sort of
budget price point which stretches from
the edges all the way around the back
end of the moto g60s as well and yeah
certainly feels very plasticky but at
the same time reasonably durable and
solidly constructed as well i can't find
any weak spots you've got a textured
finish on that back end which should help with grip it doesn't seem to slide
around in my palms which is always a good this is the iced mint model but you
can also pick up the mortar g60s in that
typical ink blue color of mortar oil is
kind of a moody near v color and that
back end is also where you'll find the fingerprint
sensor which is quite rare these days they tend to be edge mounted or actually
built into the display itself but
thankfully that camera chassis doesn't
jump very far at all from the surface there's the moto g60s doesn't wobble
about the place when it's sat on a desk or a table and you're poking and prod
in it get some good and bad news as far as the design goes the good news is
that you do have a headphone jack up top to get plugged in the bad news is that unfortunately modula has shoved one of those pesky google assistant keys here on the right edge
so inevitably that's going to get poked
by accident when i'm fumbling around for the volume rocker and as with most of motorola's budget blowers the moto g60s is ip52 splash resistant as well so always if it gets a little bit moist in the rain you accidentally spill your drink in it just wipe it off promptly
and if we have a cheeky peek inside of that sim tray you'll see that there's
space for two sim cards at the same time otherwise that second sim slot can be
used to expand the storage using a micro sd memory card up to a further terabyte
all right it's time to get this my team more for all set up right so the model
g60s like all mod roller smartphones a
nice bit of stock android action on
there so no heavy clunky launcher uh
weighing things down that also means no
crap where thankfully as you jump on
into the apps tree you'll see it's all
basically google apps and the stuff that
i myself have installed as usual one of
motorola's only additions is the moto
experiences app which is actually genuinely good it adds some bonus features
that are well worth a squint so for
instance in the personalized section you can change up the look and feel of android by playing around with likes the fonts the icon colors and shapes one of my favorite bits is the gestures section which adds all kinds of excellent stuff such as the lift
to unlock very handy and this can be paired with the face unlock feature so you
can actually bypass that fingerprint sensor entirely and uh every single time face is too blurry what are
you saying motorola what are you saying about my face and of course only
regular viewers will know I absolutely adore that fast torch feature yeah try
that one again there's quite a few other features on here but one of the other
best bits is definitely the game time feature which I will demonstrate in a bit
uh other features worth to mention well i've already touched on the fact that
you've got that dedicated google assistant
button which as you can see there just a
quick push and up it pops ready to ruin you there and i still don't
understand why you got that physical
button when you've actually got a assistant shortcut right there on your
desktop to start with of course you've got fast access to the google assistant
via the google discover feed as well that little grumble aside i do really like
the stock android experience it's just a bit of a shame the mod roll isn't super prompt when it
comes to updating it's uh mode or smartphones as far as the os updates and the
security updates go especially as it is that stock experience and nokia does so
well on that front at least all the other features that you'd expect from a
budget blow like nfc support for your contactless payments that's present incorrect
and you've got that expandable storage as well to boost the pretty damn generous
128 gigs that you get on here as standard and last up that rear mounted
fingerprint sensor seems like a decent one as well it's reasonably easy to find
when you're groping around behind the smartphone take me a couple of taps
occasionally but get there in the end and it's pretty uh quick to work as well
once you do actually finally find it and
of course despite my face being a bit fuzzy apparently let's see
If the fierce unlock actually works as well so raise to wick
and yeah seems to do the job nicely that one wee straight in good stuff so that
6.8 inch ips screen is one of the biggest that i've arrested my peepers on here
in 2021 the moto g60s is certainly one for media fans out there it's got a full
hd plus resolution to 2460 by 1080 pixels so images are reasonably sharp
despite the fact that it is a big bloody screen viewing angles aren't the best
once you tilt the screen away the the image does fade quite a bit uh but
overall the top brightness level seemed absolutely fine for outdoors use no
problems there wasn't squinting too much in the sun colors aren't exactly super
vivid and the contrast isn't particularly sharp either but again absolutely
fine just for kicking back with some youtube some netflix from disney plus
browsing your photos or doing a good bit of gaming and when you go full screen
uh yeah you've got that sort of annoying selfie camera orifice century
positions there which does slightly
intrude on the action but nothing too horrific you've got the usual blue light
filters and what's not one of the big whoops of the display here on the moto
g60s is the fact you've got that 120 hertz max refresh and as you can see there
this can automatically flip between 60 and 120 hertz depending on what you're
up to uh so yes really good news for any gamers for instance
Who enjoy a bit of game glory or any other android titles
that support that 120 frames per second as for your audio well it is just a
mono speaker setup positioned down here on the bottom edge of the moto g60 s
but let's bump up the volume see if it's decent so is the classic model worth a
price hike is the battery life less sucky
Basically should you stick one on your own uh not super
impressive gotta say it's a little bit echoey and rather tinny on that top volume
and not particularly powerful either but it doesn't matter because you've got a
headphone jack so you can get checked in at any point got bluetooth 5.0 support
as well which tends to be reliable on more roller smartphones so it's got
plenty of alternative options when i see it plenty you've got two two
alternative options which is better than one or none now the motorola g60s is
powered by the mediatek helio g95 getting on a little bit now as found in the
redmi note 10s the real me8 quite a few other budget phones that's backed by
either four or six gigs of ram though here in the uk only seems to have that
four gigabyte model and not the smoothest around some of the animations a
little bit juddery as you can see and as you see not exactly outstanding geekbench
scores either
If you are a benchmark and fan but nothing too troublesome
it should be absolutely fine for your everyday stuff messaging media streaming
all of that lovely goodness and i am going to test it out now with a bit of
call of duty just to see how it does handle gaming and as i mentioned before
mode roller has added on its own game time feature which just allows you to
toggle some specific features related to gaming so for instance while you're in
game you can quickly and easily silence all notifications as well as calls you
could also take a screenshot you can record the screen if you want to show your
mad skills off at some later date
I am expecting that
the game performance should be absolutely fine here on the moto g60s just as it
was on the likes of the real me at the redmi note 10 s and yeah it was a pretty smooth game an experience here on the moto
g60s with call of duty mobile set to the higher detail settings that frame rate
was pretty solid a couple of tiny little uh jedi's but so small didn't really
impact the gameplay at all and uh the screen responsiveness absolutely fine as
well that little selfie orifice didn't really get in the way back of the phone
getting ever so slightly warm uh after about 10 minutes of gameplay but not to
a troublesome degree that's for sure of course one disadvantage of the helio
g95 chipset is the fact that it doesn't have a built-in 5g modem so no the moto
g60s does not support 5g that's going to be a deal breaker for you
You're going to have
to look to the likes of the motorola moto g50 or the nokia g50 or a slew of
other budget 5g smartphones there's actually plenty to choose from these days
go check out my video about the best budget 5g smartphones for more ideas it's
a proper cracker so when it comes to the battery life the mod roller g60s is
another superstar it's got a 5 000 milliamp capacity battery stuffed inside of
that enormous freaking shell and that should keep you going all day helps along
by the fact you've got a nice stock version of android certainly so far in a
couple of hours it's only drains 20 and that's with a good bit of media
streaming a bit of gaming all of that heavy usage and yes finally more of all
those turbo power charging is actually worthy of that name because now you've
got 50 watt turbo power charging support here on the moto g60s which not even
those mortal edge 20 flagships can burst so that means that basically in well
under an hour you'll be fully charged back backup despite the fact that it's a
big capacity a battery and hopefully we'll be seeing that charging tech on more
roller smartphones going forwards now flip around to the arch end of the moto g60s
and you'll find a quad lens camera setup don't get too excited though because
one of those is a 5 megapixel macro lens another one is a basic depth sensor
the pair you'll mostly be playing with no doubt is the 64 megapixel primary
sensor you've also got an 8 megapixel ultra wide angle shooter and i've got to
say the mod rollers camera ui is one of the more user-friendly ones out there
it doesn't absolutely bombard you with features and most of the stuff that you
will need to access can be accessed with just a single hand as you can see they
can quickly and easily drag out that menu all of your mods are down here just
the likes of this that you have to do a bit of stretching and as you can see
there the usual modal ai camera shenanigans are in place this can help you to
switch to different modes to suit whatever you're actually trying to snap a
photo of give it a portrait action to help veronica really stand out against
the background you've also got the likes of the smart composition tool as well
which can automatically crop it into a shot and help straighten them up as well
and yeah it's a 64 megapixel primary sensor but the moto g60s shoots 16 megapixel snaps in full auto mode because of the four in one pixel bin just help keep things bright uh but you do
have a 64 meg ultra res mode
If you do want to shoot that maximum resolution and a
variety of other bonus modes as well including good old night vision for those low light shots good bit of pro mode
standard feature which allows you to play around with the shutter speed the iso
levels etc and if you want to shoot some home movie footage well it's full hd resolution by default you can bump
that up to 4k if you want a good bit of
ultra hd and last up flip around to the front and there's a 16 megapixel selfie
cam as well you can use for your basic instagram social media snaps make all of
your friends and fams super jealous how absolutely amazingly happy you are with
life and so far from a few hours of play moto g60s camera seems to be pretty
dependable despite the usual budget uh smartphone limitations of course in
really strong light you will get some saturation in low light you'll see some blur and if you're trying to shoot an active subject like a pet or a hyperactive kid off their tits on haribo but overall very respectable so that in a nutshell my pretties is the Motorola moto g60s as i say hit the uk it's available right now in fact for 219 quid
So what do you reckon are you tempted by the fact you've got
that 120 hertz ips display and you've
got a 50 watt fast charging as well two features you won't find on other mode
of all the smartphones around this sort of price point and apart from that
seems like yeah your everyday solids dependable mode of all the smartphones the
shame about the slightly age and heal your chipsets so let me know your
thoughts down in the comments below
cheers everyone love you
Thank You
