In the last months, Motorola launched a huge amount of devices from the G series ranging from the entry-level segment to the flagship one. The handsets go from the affordable Moto G10 up to the powerful Moto G100 with several handsets in the middle. This comparison regards exactly these devices in the middle. Given that a lot of devices might make confusion in those who do not know the smartphone market very well, we decided to compare the specifications of the Motorola Moto G20, the Moto G30, and the Moto G50 in order to tell you what changes between each model.

Design

Despite you can recognize each other if you have seen them before, Motorola Moto G20, Moto G30, and Moto G50 are not so different when it comes to design. They are all built with a plastic back and a plastic frame and they have a water repellent design. In each case, you get a punch-hole display with not so narrow bezels and a rectangle-shaped camera module, as well as a rear-mounted fingerprint reader. I like the Motorola Moto G50 more due to its reflective color variants, but it is a matter of taste.

 

Display

The Motorola Moto G20, the Moto G30, and the Moto G50 have exactly the same display. It is an IPS panel with a diagonal of 6.5 inches, an HD+ resolution (720 x 1600p), and a 90 Hz refresh rate. It is not a great panel given the below-average resolution it provides, but the high refresh rate makes the viewing experience smooth and satisfying. However, do not expect an accurate image quality. If you need so, just do not choose any of these devices.

 

Hardware/Software

The most powerful hardware belongs to the Moto G30: the Moto G50 actually comes with a stronger chipset (the Snapdragon 480), but if you choose the most expensive configuration of the Moto G30 you can get more RAM. So we have the Snapdragon 662 (which is only slightly weaker than the Snapdragon 480) paired with up to 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage. On the other hand, the Moto G50 supports 5G, while the Moto G30 does not. The Moto G20 is inferior as it has a Unisoc T700 chipset instead of those Snapdragon ones. Moto G20, G30, and G50 run Android 11 out of the box.

 

Camera

If you need the most advanced cameras, you should opt for the Moto G30 again. It has a better 64 MP main camera with an f/1.7 focal aperture, as well as an 8 MP ultrawide sensor and a pair of 2 MP cameras for macros and depth calculation. The Moto G20 has the same secondary sensors, but the main camera is an inferior 48 MP snapper. You get the same 48 MP camera with the Moto G50 and even a better 5 MP macro camera but, unfortunately, it lacks an ultrawide camera, so it is even worse than the Moto G20.

 

Battery

Motorola equipped the Moto G20, the Moto G30, and the Moto G50 with the same 5000 mAh battery providing a great battery life thanks to the efficient components. If you do not use 5G, you should get a longer battery life with the Moto G50 because the chipset is built at 8 nm. The Moto G30, instead, provides faster charging speeds with its 20W fast charging.

 

Motorola Moto G20 vs Motorola Moto G30 vs Motorola Moto G50: Price

In the global market, Motorola Moto G20 is priced at €169/$205 in its base variant, Moto G30 carries a €239/$290 price tag and Moto G50 costs €279/$335 (prices vary depending on the regions). If we exclude 5G, the Moto G30 is the best one with its great cameras, faster charging speeds, good chipset, and up to 6 GB of RAM. But the Moto G50 has a faster chipset with 5G which makes the price go higher.
