In 2023, the Motorola was fantastic, and in 2024, they are launching the Moto G34, which seems very interesting to me. I think this is probably the most powerful phone under ₹10,000. Its effective price is below ₹10,000 INR, making it the most fantastic phone with great connectivity. It has a 120Hz fast refresh rate and many interesting features. For example, out of the box, you get Android 14. I believe this is the first phone in the budget series offering Android 14 out of the box at ₹10,000. There are some other interesting features as well that I want to tell you about. Wait for that, let's get started
Moto g34 Design
The vegan leather design makes the phone look very attractive. One thing about Motorola phones is that they have a unique feel in hand, which feels premium. Even this Moto G34, priced under 10k, won't feel cheap when you hold it. The feel of the vegan leather, its looks, and even the color
I really like this color as well. It's very nice and has a great appeal.
which also doubles as a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, are on the side.
Ports & buttons
Ports and buttons-wise, at the bottom, there's a 3.5mm headphone jack, a microphone, and a USB Type-C port. On the left-hand side, there's the speaker grill and the SIM card tray. On top, there's a noise cancellation microphone. The volume rocker and the power on/off button
which also doubles as a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, are on the side.
Display
Bezels-wise, the side and upper bezels are of average size, and I'd say the chin is also of average size, given that it's a phone under ₹10,000. It achieves a 90% screen-to-body ratio. Speaking of the display, it's a 6.5-inch HD+ IPS LCD display
with 580 nits brightness. So, yes, that's about it. In terms of quality, it's a decent display, and yes, it has a punch-hole sensor.
Specifications
If I talk about specifications, there are many phones available with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 processor in the price range of ₹15,000 to ₹20,000. Most of these phones are still found in the price range of 15k to 18k. You can get a phone with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 processor in the range of 10,000. This processor is tried and tested, a bit old, but still the most powerful in this particular price segment. It has an Antutu score of around 450,000
There are two variants available - one with 4GB RAM and 128GB storage with LPDDR4x RAM type and UFS2.2 storage type, which is quite rare in this price range, usually having UMCP or eMMC. Due to UFS2.2, the Antutu score is around 450,000. The other variant is the upper one, which is 8GB/128GB, priced at ₹11,000 for the 4GB/128GB and ₹11,999 for the 8GB/128GB. The difference between both is ₹1,000, but after effective price card discounts, you can get the 4GB/128GB for under ₹10,000. However, if you're considering a purchase, I suggest going for the 8GB/128GB because you get an extra 4GB RAM, a 5000mAh battery, and 20W wired charging.
Performance
If I talk about gaming and performance again within this price range, they say that if you're playing BGMI or COD Mobile, you should play on low settings, but in medium to high settings, you can play at 40fps. Interestingly, in PUBG: New State, there's an unlock mode for 90fps, so you can play at 90fps on a phone under 10k. But if I talk about HD+, the G62 comes with full HD, yes, its price is in the range of 11 to 12 thousand, but remember, the G62 is full HD. Also, it comes with Android 12 out of the box, but this one has Android 14 plus 1 year of updates. So, let's talk about the OS bit. Some features of Android 14 on top of Motorola's MIUX are very minimalistic, which is good, a clean UI. But some customization options are definitely available, such as Moto gestures support and Moto Hub. There are plenty of apps here for customization, etc. Also, in the OS, there are a few recommendations for Google Dialer. Another thing is Moto Unplug, which is a focus mode; you can have only these four apps open in the office, others you can't access. Moto Secure also comes with phishing detection; if you visit a phishing website live, it will alert you.Multimedia
Let's talk about the multimedia again. It has a standout HD+ screen, but you get Dolby Atmos tuned stereo speakers, so the speaker quality and loudness are good. I would say the video viewing quality is decent, but remember, it supports Widevine L1 on Netflix, so Full HD is whitelisted, even though the screen is HD+Connectivity
Yes, indeed! There are 13 5G bands in connectivity, dual 4G VoLTE, support for WiFi calling, dual-band WiFi, 4/4 memo is available, and it supports 4CA (carrier aggregation). What else could we want? Everything is definitely there in terms of connectivity; it's excellent.Camera's
Let's talk about the camera. It has a 50-megapixel primary sensor and a 2-megapixel secondary macro sensor. The ultra-wide has been removed. I used to say that it should have an ultrawide above 10,000, but if it were there, it would have been very good. Moving forward, there's a 16-megapixel selfie camera. Usually, in this price range, you get 8 or 13, but this one has a 16-megapixel camera Talking about photos, they come out decent under normal conditions. The camera app is loaded with features—slow motion, portrait mode, and even a pro mode. You can also choose colors; if you prefer natural colors, you can select that, or if you want enhanced, punchier colors, there's a mode for that too, which is social media-worthy. With the macro sensor, not only can you take photos but also shoot videos. Speaking of videography, you can shoot full HD at 30 FPS, and there's audio zoom while shooting videos. There's also an auto night vision mode. If you're in low light while taking photos, it will automatically detect that.Conclusion
If I talk about the G34, with 695, it is probably the fastest phone under 10,000 rupees. Yes, probably not; I will say it is the fastest phone with Android 14 out of the box. It excels in connectivity matters. Other than that, this is a great phone under 10,000 rupees. If you want to buy, I will suggest adding 1,000 rupees more and getting the 8/128 GB variant for 11,000 rupees; that will also be future-proof. So, let's go, guys, that's all in this article.
