Moto G100: A 5G Snapdragon 870 G-series with desktop Ready For mode.
SpecEagle Editorial·Mar 2021·$499·Score 70/100
Moto G100 was the rare G-series that punched up — Snapdragon 870, 5G, stereo Atmos, Ready For desktop mode — at $499. The 20 W charging and LCD were the cost; for power users who wanted a Moto without going Edge, it was a quietly excellent pick.
