Finally, its battery life is absolutely stellar. In our standard looped video test, the Moto was just three minutes away from hitting the 20-hour mark. That’s a bit behind the Moto G10 and the Redmi Note 11, but it’s not enough to lose sleep over. You’ll get a day out of a single charge, and then some. Motorola Moto G13 review: Cameras The memory is unfortunately only slow eMMC, but the phone only heats up marginally under load and hardly throttles its performance. Apart from the somewhat too pressure-sensitive casing and the uncertain update situation, we hardly find any real points of criticism. While close-up macro shots can be fun, I’d personally trade both of these supplemental lenses for a stronger main camera, but I’m evidently in the minority, given budget manufacturers’ insistence that more is better. Motorola's Moto G13 is a quite fast phone from the affordable mid-range with good features: 90 Hz display, NFC, and a lot of storage.
It’s not too bad when viewed from a distance, but zoom in for a close crop and you can see exactly how little detail is captured. In good lighting conditions, however, the Moto G13 takes pretty impressive shots with a surprising amount of detail. Here’s a church near my house on a bright, sunny June day: But it actually eclipses the Xiaomi in graphical performance. Ignore the on-screen figures — that’s down to the 720p resolution (fewer pixels means better frame rate). But when you equalise the two at 1080p offscreen, the Moto G13 squeezes out a few more frames per second.
Unusually, it doesn’t seem to apply horrendously over-the-top beautification settings, and I couldn’t see any way to add them, either. The mobile reception is decent for an inexpensive phone in our random tests during the review but can't keep up with high-end phones.
The Moto G13 can use the earpiece as a second speaker and thus create a stereo effect. The sound is overall good and does not overdrive but the music sounds a bit muffled. The speakers are also not really loud. There is a 3.5 mm audio port at the smartphone's upper edge, that can be used for connecting headphones or speakers. External audio devices can also be connected via Bluetooth. Numerous codecs, such as aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC-V, are available here. The Moto G13 comes with a triple-camera array composed of a 50MP (f/1.8) main snapper and two additional 2MP (f/2.4) lenses: one for macro, and another for depth. The Moto phone can be operated swiftly and reliably via the touchscreen. This is also due to Motorola's 90 Hz refresh rate, which enables smooth scrolling. With 128 GB eMMC flash, the phone's mass storage is quite slow but is also extensive: at the moment, most similarly priced competitors still offer 64 or even only 32 GB data storage. There is also an NFC module, which is by no means a matter of course in this price range. But all phones struggle when the light dips, and budget phones are especially susceptible to this phenomenon. As the sun sets, the Moto G13’s pictures get noticeably blurrier with added visual noise.The macro lens is fun, but probably the kind of thing you’ll only try once. Here’s a two-Euro coin close enough to see all the scuffs it endured while being passed around mainland Europe. It’s a testament to how far budget handsets have come in the last decade that the Moto G13 looks pretty much like any other smartphone in 2023.
