Motorola is back with two fresh budget smartphones the Moto G24 and the Moto G24 5G. Both phones are designed for people who want a good phone without spending too much. They come with big screens, decent cameras, and long battery life. If you’re someone who just wants a reliable phone for daily use, you might want to take a closer look.
A good-looking phone for a small budget
Let’s start with the regular Moto G24. It has a simple, clean design that doesn’t look cheap at all. It feels solid in the hand and isn’t too heavy either. The display is a 6.56-inch IPS LCD screen, which is big enough for YouTube, scrolling through Instagram, or just reading stuff online. Some say it has a 60Hz refresh rate, while others say it might be 90Hz like the G24 Power. Either way, for the price, it’s pretty smooth.
Now inside, the phone runs on a MediaTek Helio G85 processor. It’s not the fastest chip in the world, but for regular stuff like chatting, watching videos, and even a bit of gaming, it does the job. You get two RAM options 4GB or 8GB – depending on how much you multitask. And yes, you can expand storage with a microSD card too, which is super useful if you keep a lot of photos or videos.
The camera part – surprisingly decent
For cameras, the Moto G24 gives you a 50MP main lens on the back and a 2MP macro sensor. The main one clicks pretty good photos in daylight. Portraits, group pics, random shots – they all come out sharp and colorful. The macro camera isn’t that amazing, but you can still use it for close-up stuff if you’re into that. On the front, there’s an 8MP selfie camera, and honestly, it works fine for video calls and selfies. You’re not getting DSLR-level shots here, but hey – it’s a budget phone, and it does better than expected.
All-day battery life? Yes, please
Now this is where the Moto G24 really shines – the battery. It packs a 5000mAh battery, which is more than enough for a full day. If you’re a light user, it might even go two days. There’s 15W fast charging support, so topping it up doesn’t take forever, though charging speed isn’t the fastest out there. Still, for the price, no complaints.
Moto G24 5G – A better version if you’ve got a bit more money
Now let’s talk about the big brother the Moto G24 5G. This one costs a bit more but comes with better features. The screen here is a 6.58-inch IPS LCD with a 120Hz refresh rate, which means everything feels smoother. The resolution is Full HD+, so videos and games look crisp and detailed.
Under the hood, it runs on the MediaTek Dimensity 1080 processor. It’s a big step up from the regular G24. This chip is strong enough for heavier games, fast app switching, and just overall snappier use. You also get 8GB RAM by default, so it’s built for users who want more out of their phone.
Battery that lasts, and then some
Another highlight of the Moto G24 5G is the massive 6000mAh battery. Seriously, this thing is a power bank in disguise. Whether you’re gaming or watching shows, the battery won’t let you down. And when it’s time to charge, it supports 18W fast charging. Not the fastest in the market, but good enough to get going in an hour or so.
Clean Android and modern features
Both phones run on Android 14, which is a plus. Motorola’s UI is known for being clean and close to stock Android. No annoying bloatware, no heavy skins. That means your phone stays fast and clean over time. Both the Moto G24 and Moto G24 5G also come with a side-mounted fingerprint scanner. It’s quick, accurate, and easy to use.
For regular users, the G24 covers all the basic stuff. But if you want 5G support which is slowly becoming common in India then the G24 5G is the smarter option.
Should you go with Moto G24 or Moto G24 5G?
If your budget is really tight, or you just need a phone for calls, social media, YouTube, and light usage – then go with the regular Moto G24. It’s affordable, does what it promises, and has no major weak points. Plus, it looks nice and lasts long on a single charge.
But if you can spend a little more, the Moto G24 5G is a better deal. You get a smoother screen, stronger performance, longer battery life, and of course, future-ready 5G. For around ₹11,999, it’s one of the better 5G phones in the budget segment.
Final thoughts – is it worth it?
To be honest, Motorola did a pretty neat job with the Moto G24 series. Both phones bring value to the table. They’re not perfect, but for the price, they cover all the essentials and even go beyond with features like big batteries, decent cameras, and a clean Android experience.
If you’ve been thinking about getting a phone under ₹12,000, these two should be on your list. Just pick based on what matters more to you budget or performance.
So, should you buy it or not?
If you ask me, yes. Whether it’s the standard Moto G24 or the 5G variant, you’re getting a solid phone that won’t let you down in day-to-day use.
