Moto G64 5G is Motorola’s brand-new lower midrange smartphone with a starting price of less than Rs 15,000. It is a follow-up to the Moto G54. Truth be told, it was already pretty jam-packed and so, Motorola probably didn’t want to spoil a good thing. It chose to make minimal changes, only changing the processor (and software), to deliver a next-gen upgrade that still holds great potential especially for the kind of price that Motorola is charging for it.
