If you had a look at budget smartphones from 10 years ago, the main players in the market would've featured a 3.5-inch or 4-inch display, VGA camera and a processor that could've barely handled simple tasks. But that's not the case anymore, especially with the new Moto e22s. Technology has grown leaps and bounds in the last decade, so much so that many of the features seen in flagship phones then, are now staple even in the budget segment smartphones. Keeping this in mind, Motorola has introduced the cheapest smartphone in its lineup, the Moto e22s. But with so many options in the budget smartphone segment, does the Moto e22s hold up against its competitors? I've been using the Moto e22s for a couple of weeks now, and here's our detailed review.
In terms of looks, the Moto e22s gets a similar design as other Moto smartphones such as the Moto G62; with a plastic body. The Moto e22s comes in two colours – Eco Black and Artic Blue, and both the variants get a visual pattern on the back. I received the Eco Black variant and although the back did not get scratches, it gets smudges easily; therefore using a case is recommended.
The highlight of the Moto e22s is its 90Hz display which is an extremely rare sighting in this price bracket. The display is a 6.5-inch HD+ IPS LCD panel with a resolution of 1600 x 720 pixels, which offers decent visuals and good viewing angles. Despite a relatively low peak brightness of 500 nits, it is the 90Hz refresh rate which takes it up a notch and makes swiping between apps a breeze. The Moto e22s also comes with WideVine L1 certification for you to stream OTT content in HD.
The Moto e22s is powered by the MediaTek Helio G37 octa-core processor, paired with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage.
