Moto G04 review: A clean-Android entry phone with a 90 Hz screen for next to nothing.
Clean Android at the bottom of the market.
G04 gives a ~$100 buyer the thing Motorola does best at this price — near-stock Android without bloat — on a 90 Hz screen with a big battery. The Unisoc T606 and HD+ panel are exactly the floor you expect. As a first phone or backup it is honest and tidy.
