About the Motorola Moto G04
The Motorola Moto G04 is one of the most affordable smartphones available in the UK, yet it covers the essentials remarkably well for its price. The 6.56-inch IPS LCD display with HD+ resolution and 90Hz refresh rate provides a smooth, readable viewing experience for browsing, messaging, and social media. Powered by the Unisoc T606 chipset, it handles basic tasks without complaint, though demanding apps and games will push it to its limits. The 5,000mAh battery is the standout feature, delivering exceptional endurance that easily stretches to two days of light use or a full day of moderate activity. Motorola has included practical features that more expensive phones sometimes omit: a 3.5mm headphone jack, microSD card expansion, and an IP52 water-repellent coating for basic splash protection. The 16MP rear camera takes acceptable photos in good lighting for social media and messaging, though do not expect miracles in low light. Available in four vibrant colour options with a smooth matte finish, the Moto G04 proves that even the most budget-conscious buyers can get a reliable, functional smartphone for everyday communication and basic tasks.

Motorola Moto G04 Specifications
Spec Scores
Under £200 Phones · 143 phones
- Unisoc T606
- Octa-core (2x1.6 GHz Cortex-A75 & 6x1.6 GHz Cortex-A55)
Based on calibrated CPU benchmark rankings (60%) and GFXBench GPU scores (40%). Apple chipsets included via editorial calibration since AnTuTu under-represents Apple's architecture.
- 6.56 inches
- 720 x 1612 pixels
- IPS, 90Hz
Based on panel type (LTPO is the modern flagship gold standard), resolution, refresh rate, peak brightness, screen size, and HDR10+ / Dolby Vision support. Marketing peak-brightness claims are capped at 3500 nits to prevent inflation.
- Single camera setup
- 16 MP main camera
- 1080p video recording
Based on main-sensor size (1-inch / 1/1.3" beats 1/2.0"), telephoto reach (periscope > 5x > 3x optical), image processing tier (Apple Pro, Pixel Pro, Galaxy Ultra, Honor Magic Pro, Xiaomi Ultra), pro video features (ProRes, Apple Log, Dolby Vision), camera-partnership branding (Leica, Hasselblad, Zeiss) and OIS. Older flagships are de-rated since image processing pipelines have advanced significantly each generation. Megapixel count is deliberately downweighted — it correlates poorly with real-world camera quality.
- 5 MP front camera
- 1080p selfie video
Based on selfie megapixels and max selfie-video resolution.
- 5,000 mAh
- 15W wired
Based on battery capacity (mAh) adjusted for platform efficiency calibrated against NotebookCheck, Tom's Guide, GSMArena and CNET reviewer tests. Apple A-series gets +45% (iOS process freezing + LTPO 1Hz + tuned panels make iPhone Pro Max outlast many 6500+ mAh Android phones in measured tests). Top Snapdragon / Dimensity flagships get +15%, budget chipsets are penalised −15% to −25% to reflect less efficient displays and looser background limits. Charging speed is excluded — see the separate Fast charging tag for that.
