Motorola Moto G73 5G | Unboxing & Full Tour

- Unboxing Motorola's Moto G73 5G, a budget mid-range smartphone that serves up 50MP camera tech, gaming features, long battery life and a sub-£300 UK asking price. The Motorola Moto G73 5G phone doesn't offer OLED screen tech or the same silky smooth performance of some rivals, but it's a decent everyday blower still. Check out my reviews of the best budget mobiles in 2023 for more ideas!
The Moto G73 has a dual camera setup, although that second lens is a simple ultra-wide snapper. That 50-meg primary camera sensor is fine if the lighting is good but you'll see blur and grain in more ambient light, and video maxes out at FHD.
Highlights include Motorola's stock Android 13 experience, that surprisingly powerful stereo speaker setup and the 256GB storage. With microSD memory card support, no less! You also have a meaty 5000mAh battery, so the Moto G73 5G can last a full day of intense action.
However, gamers won't be able to experience a fluid Genshin Impact frame rate, even on low detail settings. Call of Duty and PubG is about the level you should be aiming at, even with Motorola's dedicated gaming features slapped on the Moto G73.
So are you tempted by this budget-friendly smartphone?

@PAUL MH still the phones for certain prices are insane.....
Motorola is a piece of Shit!
I said it before but it's always amazing how I enjoy watching videos of phones I've never seen and have no intention of buying. Having said that you always make it interesting and I enjoy picking up little technical knowledge here and there so when I do go to make a purchase I have a better idea of exactly what I'm looking for. You are always humorous, informative, and interesting and you have a friend in Columbus Ohio
Just bought one of these. Needed a new phone and on a bit of a budget. I'd have liked a OLED screen but it's not a deal breaker. So far for the money I think it's pretty good, 256gb storage no need for an SD card then. I've not noticed any issues with it's speed, having the 120hz screen, everything seems to be very smooth. I don't play games on my phone so that's not an issue. But for general use, it's one of the best phones I've had. Battery life is good, my previous phone was a Samsung M51 with a 7000mah battery, I was getting 3-4 days. This one I charged it Sunday evening, it's had plenty of use, streaming, surfing the web, twitter etc. and now Wednesday afternoon still got 26% left. Not used the camera much, better in good light, OK at night with night mode but definitely have to hold it quite still. For £269 I think it's pretty good.
im having and old iphone 8, so im actually maybe buying this phone, :)
Cum tine la tine telefonul câteva zile bateria....la multi chiar foarte multi oameni,după 8h maxim îl.reincarca....
Does it comes with pre installed screen protector?
Does it overheat a lot or is it OK?
Motorola is great! I got my first Motorola (Moto G200) last fall and I love it! Everything but battery life is great.
My G100 gets 6:50 to 7:50 hrs of screen on time so I would not call that 'not great'
I presume the 200 should do about the same.
But I am not a heavy user.
@@RobNL310 I am heavy user. I am used to great battery life of Huawei, OnePlus and Nokia phones and G200 doesn’t last like they did although it has got much bigger battery. And it’s not even about 144 Hz display since I’ve tried to use it on and off and it seems to last just about same time.
@@ilpoheikkila4773 is it a bigger screen
Still got my g100
Low key, i frickin love the Motorola phones gestures, such a nice feature. I miss that on other phones.
All day battery should be the minimum acceptable for any phone in 2023.
Picked up one of these a week ago, and so far it's been fine. I needed something budget with lots of storage (without having to put an SD card in) and a 3.5mm jack for plugging into a sound desk without tying up the charging port (and I hate jacks on the top of phones, so this is perfect). Screen scrolling is smooth, touch response is good and battery life is decent. I run stuff that keeps screen on with static display elements, so an ips panel means I don't need to worry about burn-in. Pretty happy about this as a replacement for my bricked Nokia 5.3 (thanks hmd for screwing up the Android 12 update 🙄). Charging rate topping out at 30w isn't that big of a deal - all these super fast rates will ultimately have an effect on battery degradation - that's just physics. Overall is recommend this phone. Time will tell on the longevity of updates, but it's a budget device. If they sell sufficient numbers then maybe there's more impetus to keep it updated.
Does it have a notification light or led?
@@vBDKv sadly no, you'll want something like the edge 30 neo for that. Can usually be found for a similar price, but no headphone jack.
Does it comes with pre installed screen protector?
Did you have any heating problems or noticed any flickering ? ( eyestrain / headache ). Also how about the camera(s) ( especially front/selfie cam ?) and the overall performance of the software? Thank for your help!
Hi Derek. How did you find the battery life? Does it get hot? I've read mixed reviews but i fancy giving it a go
This smartphone has gained massive attention in India due to its pricing and features. The dimensity processor, dual rear cameras, big battery, and more are just powerful.
Agreed. The biggest deal-breaker is the lack of software upgrades though
@@minukarodrigo Android 13 is well optimized, there is less need to update as compared to Android 11 and older
@@90AlmostFamous my thoughts exactly, because the UI hasn't changed much since Android pie.
But I was pointing out security updates though
@@minukarodrigothey've promised 3 years security
@@rob12841 agree, but "promises are meant to be broken", according to those companies so I'm not surprised at all lol
Please stop pushing OLED for every device! Many of us cannot use OLED due to the stroboscopic effect it creates.
Mint phone the G73 I bought one a couple of weeks ago. Motorola phones are really under rated Everyone is either Samsung or Apple
Keep up the good work, because trying to get a review in English is so hard now. Mostly it’s like watching “it ain’t half hot mum” for 99% of reviews on smartphones. !!Indian shenanigan’s!!
Ahhh yes one of the 200 or so mid range phones Motorola will send out in 2023! Still rockin' my Moto Edge Plus 2022 & waiting on Android 13. Motorola said "early 2023" for the update. Mid March is not early 2023! But still love the phone. Thanks Spurty!
If motorola works on their gaming processors and cooling system then they would become unbeatable the next second.
And ditch the edged screens on flagships.
thank you Motorola for this masterpiece
Am getting 4 days out of this phone i love motorola ❤ i use to have the g9 plus
Glad they went with LCD .People like me who are sensitive to Amoled flickering issue feel grateful to Moto
What? People are sensitive to Amoled?
Is that a real thing?
@@ONYX-365 yes amoled after a short while makes my eyes blurred
Some are allergic to nuts even if u like them
*I salute Motorola for including a charger in the box!*
Instead of selling an incomplete product; like many other manufacturers do 👀
OnePlus are pretty good at doing that, but their phone fast charge via Oppo's Vooc charging tech. So it makes sense, to be honest.
The brand which is in everybody's heart. I remember those days 😍🤗, with my first phone motorola w388. Only lengends know fairly what types of brands nokia, motorola and samsung were 😢
I wish stock Android had a lock homescreen layout functionality. Its the only reason I use a third party launcher.
I prefer LCD panels as OLED kills my eyes after a short while. May have to give up my s23 ultra as my eyes can't cope 😭
I got a pixel 6a only to find out I'm pwm sensitive and that the oled was burning my eyes out. Upgrading from a p smart 2019 I'm definitely excited for this one ahha
Same. I had to go back from Pixel 8 to CE 3 LITE. I'm now worried no phones will have LCD and we'll be stuck with light phone 🤷🏻♂️
Found an unexpected big negative of this phone! Might possibly be the case with other Motorola phones too? All the audio recording, be it on videos, or through the voice recorder app, is subject to some noise suppression or filtering, which is hardwired into the software and cannot be removed! It's so frustrating, every video I've taken in the last week of bands I've seen ruins the audio quality, as the software I guess is filtering for human voices and trying to cancel out all other sounds, like typical stock noise suppression settings on Zoom/Skype etc.
Really appreciate this channel's reviews, they are so thorough and clear, but would really make a difference in future if you can comment on the audio capture from of the phone's microphone!
Yes ! I confirm i have been loving the performance of my Motorola g200 well i have the cn version ( moto edge s30) .. because the European version doesn't offer storage option above 128gb wich is dumb..
Other than problems with syncing and backing up in google ..might be because it's the Chinese version
The REAL inevitable problem is with the microphone! People complaining on my calls that they can't hear me well like it's filtering something and makes it worst...
I tried turning off the AI noise reduction on setting but it's not it ..
I need a phone with LCD and have good pwm protection Motorola offers that ..but updates and this microphone problem are so annoying
Did this get fixed?
i keep coming back to these videos every so often just in case moto has done something different since the g8, they should bring back the classic design, and keep it simple and focus on a couple of main budget phones again, perhaps bring back the metal design too
Absolutely. It's really disgusting when the next generation device has a downgrade from the last gen. Is that a normal thing for a mid-range smartphone? 🤔
Marketing
Motorola is absolutely notorious for downgrading their newer models, I think the craziest was how the Moto G Power 2020 was stronger than both the 2021 and 2022 models at the exact same price point. They also overprice their phones pretty badly on launch, which is why they usually drop to half-price within a few months.
Sidegrades and downgrades are common imho, the last couple of years especially. Practically every brand does it.
Still Far Better Than Garbage Nokia
Lol. To be honest, there hasn't been an impressive/outstanding budget device from any brand recently. Samsung ruined the A52s with the A53, Xiaomi/Redmi/Poco are all the same mediocre devices with bad software support. Pixel 6a is relatively decent, but still has issues and is not available worldwide...
Missed your cheers! Enjoy the vids.
Motorola launched the device on March 2nd here in Brazil . On the release ad they wrote the Moto g73 had a gOLED display. I thought it was a different edition of the device and decided to get it to replace my current G52. Turned out it was an IPS display ,so I sent the unit back to Motorola and canceled the purchase.
I sold my Samsung A54 and bought a Moto G73, because the A54 was too big and heavy, it had a clunky and slow interface, and even it sometimes loaded heavy web pages slowly! But my main problem was with the A54 display, in a strange way it gave me headache and eye pain, after searching the internet I found out that Motorola G73 is the best mid-range phone with IPS screen.
I got the 256/8 version for $155 and I am very happy with this phone! High-quality IPS screen that has not a problem outside, light and comfortable, light and fast user interface, very loud stereo speakers, very good battery, 30W charger in the box + memory card port + headphone jack. I hope Motorola continue to produce phones with IPS panel.
Please tell where do you get all those wallpapers!
12:10 The mustache!!!!
Paint you black and give you a little more hair, something about those selfies reminds me about Craig's David. But seriously Motorola should ship some of its products to where I live, I really like how the phone looks, sexy how they play with the colour. And here I was think that a phone had to be Chinese in order to be generously loaded but alas here is Motorola with a case, SD slot , a charger, and even a jack, heck! Good stuff!
First comment to mention you're more interesting than MKBHD
Have to agree
Yeah have to agree
MKBHD is just slick production but same old samey samey content
@@theempires5 yea it seems people think of him the king of technology
"The equivalent of a Premier Inn". Nice line. My take on Motos is like staying in one. I need a bed, bathroom and TV.
Just purchased the G73 (9TH march 2024) for £150 from Argos London England.
This review is spot on 100%. This is a good phone at £269, at £150 i am very happy.
The screen is very decent if not great, the speakers were a pleasant surprise.
I don't need all the bells and whistles, but to be fair, it's very well equipped.
legend says he still hasn't been able to open it to this day
Great video 👍📱Had Motorola's in the past and think I will return to one after watching this video.
I'll be waiting for the g83
Hopefully G83 will be a killer!
Finally, IPS and normal spec
It got all the things I want in this phone, headphones jack, microsd slot, but just bit shame with the chip set.
If it is a faster chip around main core 2.4Ghz to 2.8Ghz, it will be not doubt absolute rival to pixel a series.
Here in the Philippines we love a phone with 5G written on it because 5G is still rather rare outside of Cebu & Manila. But I understand what you mean concerning the UK where probably 5G is everywhere.
5 G everywhere.. noooooo it's crap
Most of the big networks haven't bothered bringing 5G to anywhere that's not highly populated (so far)
@@iwilltouchyourtoes when I go to London I turn my network to 5G to see how it's progressing, it's very poor, I'm quite surprised, can't believe it's that bad
@@iwilltouchyourtoes Everywhere in Philippines is highly populated with 112 million people & growing at rate of more than a million per annum. 95% of Filipinos use Facebook for communication.
@@1967hashem haven't you got star link now though
Suprised the 8gb ram and those Geekbench scores cant run Genshin well, I was going to buy this phone until I saw it cant even do low graphics comfortably. Currently using Samsung M52 and looking for an upgrade around the £300 mark but dont know what to go for and thought the G73 would be the one.
@@zephorianvephorian777 - its a very good price for what you get, I agree, but my M52 probably runs genshin impact better than the G73 so wouldnt be worth changing.
I was surprised by the performance too. In benchmarks, the D930 is equivalent to the D1080, and almost as powerful as the SD 778G
If moto makes a new optimised and tons of hidden features ui then its sure gonna rock
Dude your wallpaper selection is dope 🔥🔥
That dimensity 930 is 🔥
I just love your wallpapers 😂
Please do a review on the G71S 5G version I'm only getting in Indian reviews with no English caption
Stuck between this or the Moto g84 😅, which one would you recommend?
Nice video as usually thanks. Just wonder why Motorola never released moto g72 here in UK. I thought its realy decent phone
I love Motorola
Hi Tech Spurt ... Plz confirm one thing - Does moto g73 support USB OTG?..plz clarify this thing...bcz on flipkart it is showing that it does not support OTG.but on other websites it showing yes?
Outstanding review on point of the camera app & performance. The G73 going to my 4th Motorola after G5, G7 play & G32. Good value for money compromising camera. Tend to be slower after 1 or 2 years.
Since motorola hasn't got their own gallery app can we move a photo to the secure folder? not the entire gallery app just a photo..just like samsung secure folder if not then the photos that I want to be hidden would still be visible on another gallery app.. right?
Can't wait for the G53
cheaper, but lower res 720 not fullhd 1080
Hi Tech Spurt. Would you please review the Oppo Reno 8T 5G. Reviews from you just feel and hit so different, mate. I can't really wait
Can you please please do a review on the G71S 5G model please. Only finding reviews in Hindi and I obviously speak English. Why do they don't have a wide range of reviews on all phones😢
Nice video!
Any other upcoming phones by moto?
The Pixel 6a is £300 on google at the moment - how do they compare?
Go for the 6a if you don't mind the extra 30€
Small screen!
I have noticed and thought about that. Lower storage on 6a also no expansion slot and no 3.5mm audio jack. On the plus side better update policy on Pixel
£279 and an IPS? Missing the boat there! 😀
However - my old G5S still has a brighter screen than the Xiaomi Mi10t lite that replaced it so historically some have been good.
I'm afraid that most of what is said in this review could be said by examining the phone while it's still in the shop and then reading what is says on the side of the box. A really useful review would examine reasons for not buying the product. The sound is described as "tinny" but even this is glossed over - kind of "not to worry, it'll be fine" approach.
Sorry, it won't be fine. The sound shouldn't be "tinny".
So what else is there about this phone that isn't quite right? That's what we need to know.
Was this the best price?
moto g73 5G 8+256GB Midnight Blue (Dual SIM) moto g73 5G
Delivery by 27/03/2024 1 un £127.49
I planned on buying the G84 when it was under £200 but I read several bad reviews and this one popped up at a bargain price so I went for it instead. Did I do the right thing?
Can you do a Moto edge 30 pro review...? You haven't done that.
On normal usage how many hours battery last ?
Sorry, what was the reason it doesn't have an "always on display"...? Can one not be enabled?
My Nokia N8 can constantly display the time and date with whatever Fred Flintstone technology it uses. (Wikipedia does say that it uses AMOLED...)
Do you know if the Nokia G60 5G has the same issue?
When it's in idle mode. the black screen shows the time in huge numbers and the date in tiny numbers when you raise/lift the phone.
Does it has separate front flash which is usual moto feature?
I've been looking for a phone without/reduced PWM. Is the screen still usable outdoors in bright conditions?
Yes I've had no problems
Is the toughened glass as good as iPhone ?, also is there any lags when you watch UA-cam ?
Good review 👍
Hi great info,
Can you tell me does it have otg? I'm running android 10 on my old moto g 7 power and I cant use usb for thermal camera
And not one will get an update.....
Can anyone tell me if this phone has the green 'breathe' light (top right corner) show up when the screen is off (locked/tapped off, not powered off). It would be very helpful to see the lil green light to see if I have emails or SMS messages etc.
Strange that Dimensity 930 had slowdown issues since Dimensity 900 on my OnePlus Nord CE 2 (5g) is great with no problems. So I just made a search and found out that oddly enough but it's true D900 is better. In Geekbench D930 is slightly better but loses in everything else like gaming, photos, AnTuTu, and especially in video recording!!! D900 is capable of 4K recording and D930 IS NOT it records videos in max 1080p. Buy an AMOLED 6,43" OnePlus Nord CE 2 5g, 8/128 gb, SD card slot, 3.5mm headphone jack, sadly only a mono speaker BUT it's by far the best quality mono speaker I have ever heard👍, instead of Moto G73, I bought mine for just 179 Euros (150 Blighty quids £) it's still on Android 12 which is bad but Android 13 will arrive any day now.
cheers for the review; the only one I've seen for this phone outside India. Watched quite a few of the Indian review vids though which are useful. I'm thinking seriously about getting one of these. Don't (think I) need a powerhouse phone (my current phone is gettin on 9 year old; I won't say which one to spare the scorn). This phone has been reduced since launch and you can get a further 10% off when ordering directly from Motorola. Looking like a pretty good option at that reduced price.
G82 with OLED or g72 or g73?
This phone is between 2 worlds the budget and the midrange.
Too expensive to be budget and too low spec to be mid range. So it isn't good.
G72 5g no ai or vr camera pixel bin or 2g ram boast in systems like 20 edge lights
I’ve got a Moto G 73 5G and I know what slim I need for it
At this price there's absolutely no excuse to have an LCD screen. Especially in 2023, at this price it should easily have a 90hz amoled screen.
It supports HDR10 tho
And it's a good quality LCD
@@zephorianvephorian777 yes OLED sufferers are hardly catered for. Also using sat nav isn't an issue on LCD either
Can you shoot in 4k?
Could it be possible that this has a peak brightness of a 1000 nits as stated by some vloggers?
Does it have FM receiver enabled?
Ironically I work at a Premier Inn XD
Wouldn't mind my phones being the same
17/12/23 The G73 5G is selling for £189, on Amazon, 30% reduction of RRP.
Excellent. Ty.🎉
Share your wallpaper source man....
They are fantastic
This or the g82?
does it have camera2api support?
Motorola g73 g vs Motorola edge 30 neo...which is better
I don't have money and i broke my galaxy s8+ i might get this phone even i hate lcd display and the processor and it came without pre installed screen protector
I like everything about it except for the fact that it does not film in 4K native, excuse me? Also the shutter the camera isn't fast? What do you mean, so blurry pictures might be a thing? My 2,5 years old €300 moto G100 can film in 6K quality. People comment having microphone issues? Something doesn't add up, stop cheering this on and do some research!
dope review
The impression I'm getting is that this would be an alright phone with an OLED panel, a better processor, and 5 years of update support.
U be blind by when youre 60 with oled
I always get headache with oled. IPS is for me much better
@@SachertortehmmleckerTHIS, OLED is shit for the eyes.
@@Timett_son_of_Timett indeed
5 years update support and oled at the 270 pounds price is crazy. You are asking a bit much so if you want those features, either stop complaining or pull some extra out of your wallet
When you slightly drop your phone moto 73 5G on a table from 2 inch above, there is a click sound of hardware, feels like something is loose inside. Also, if you tap it with your fingers back side with your finger just below the camera modules, the click sound is heard. This is also heard when the phone is switched off. Anyone owning this phone has this sound? Please reply. Thanks
All phones do it, it's the floating camera module.
@@rob12841 Thank you so much ☺️ Understood 💐👍

Does Motorola g3 have cooling system?
In India .Moto release 128 gb variant
Very good phone,,battery never die,,199 euro,,maybe xiaomi but is expensive 349 and same hardver,,better display but this is oke for me,,also buy g54 for son but we did not use yet,,6000mAh..🙄
If they mixed g72 & g73 it will king in market

5g support of g73
Design of g72
Camera of g 72
Would be a beast
Never knew people bought Motorola outside my country
This phone is really awesome... ❤
This just doesn't seem like good value when you compare it to the lower priced Motorola devices out right now. It all seems very mediocre for a phone that costs nearly £300.
