Everybody needs a phone, but choosing the best Motorola phone for you depends on what you need it for. A reliable brand over many years, Motorola has a phone for everyone’s needs, whether you’re a content creator, a high-end prosumer obsessed with photography, a keen gamer, or just want something for your everyday carry.

Here are some of the highlights from 2022 to help you find the best Motorola phone for your needs.

Motorola Razr 2022

Best Motorola phone for foldable power

Foldable phones are here to say. One of the best examples of this is the Motorola Razr 2022 model. It’s sleek and stylish while offering plenty of functionality in a device that easily fits into your pocket.

An impressive phone, as detailed in our Motorola Razr 2022 review, its 6.7-inch pOLED display produces over a billion colours and supports HDR10+, making it a great multimedia device. Plus, it has an adaptive refresh rate of 144Hz, ideal for gaming and smooth viewing, with the added bonus of conserving power when needed. Additionally, the rear Quick View display lets you access important features like notifications and calls while the phone is closed.

If you need photography power in your phone, the Motorola Razr 2022 certainly delivers. Its main 50MP camera can even shoot 8K video! One benefit of the foldable form factor is being able to stand the phone up as a makeshift tripod by leaving it half open, giving you greater photo flexibility.

If you want to have the latest and greatest phone technology, the Motorola Razr 2022 is the way to go.

Motorola Edge 30 Pro

Best Motorola phone for content creators and professionals

Moto Edge G30 Pro

The Motorola Edge 30 Pro is the best of the best, a flexible and powerful tool for your digital life. With a high-end Snapdragon 8 CPU, its massive processing power makes apps (especially those productivity apps) run smoothly and fast.

Sure, most of us plug in our smartphone every night for a charge, but when you’re on the road that’s not always possible, so the Motorola Edge 30 Pro has enough juice for a full two days of use. And when you do get 30 minutes or so to snaffle a charge, perhaps in the airport lounge or at a sympathetic cafe, the TurboPower 30W charging system (68W over wireless) will give you hours more runtime in just minutes.

For content creators, the Motorola Edge 30 Pro has a positively epic camera cluster, including a 50MP macro camera to give you that ultimate creative flexibility, as well as incredible fidelity and detail in stills and video.

And to make sure those photos and videos (as well as any content you watch) look their best, the Edge 30 Pro’s display is a 6.7” OLED marvel, with its 144Hz refresh rate capable of showing a billion colours.

Speaking of content, the Edge 30 Pro also works with your TV or desktop display, to turn your smartphone into the ultimate entertainment hub, or the ultimate productivity device. Or both! There’s also support for Motorola’s Smart Stylus (an optional extra) so you can take notes, sketch, and explore the best of all possible worlds when it comes to productivity.

All of this and more wrapped up in a stylish design that doesn’t just look good, it’s water-repellent too, so it can go wherever you go.

Best Motorola phone for gamers and streaming enthusiasts

Some of us are lucky enough not to have to rely on a smartphone for work as well as play, which means we can get a phone that focuses on maximising gaming and entertainment on the go. That’s where the Motorola Edge 30 steps in.

Powered by a Snapdragon 778G+ CPU, with a big 6.5” 144Hz OLED display, 5G connectivity, and 50MP camera, the Motorola Edge 30 is ideal for gaming, movies… In fact, all the entertainment you could possibly want to take on the road with you, or just as easily enjoy curled up on the couch.

It really is all about that display – not only is it a great size, had HDR10+ and DCI-P3 for incredible contrast and colours (just over one billion of ’em!).

Importantly for an entertainment and gaming phone, the Edge 30 effortlessly shares content to compatible TVs – that means a full living-room-style entertainment experience without having to dig around for the remote.

The Motorola Edge 30 is slim and sleek – in fact at 6.79mm it’s one of the thinnest 5G handsets out there, but its 4020 mAh battery is still enough to give you a full day of power. And if you do run low, TurboPower 30 charging tech gives you hours of extra charge in just minutes. Our review labelled the phone as “easy on both the eyes and the hand”.

Motorola G62 5G

Best Motorola phone for affordable 5G and a big display

The Motorola G62 5G does a lot of things exceptionally well, ranging from its display to enabling 5G at a solid price. Arguably one of its standout qualities is the 6.5-inch 120Hz display, which is bright and vibrant, perfect for watching your favourite content.

Aside from its stellar display and 5G capabilities, the Motorola G62 5G has a large 5000mAh battery, so you can easily get you through a full day of use. Plus, it has a 50MP main camera in addition to enough grunt under the hood to tackle your important tasks.

Overall, the Motorola G62 5G is a decent handset with a lot to offer those shopping for a well-priced Android phone.

Motorola G32

Best Motorola phone for great performance at a great price

Motorola G32 phone

Our Motorola G32 review said it best: it “sets a high standard when it comes to affordable Android smartphones.”

If you want a phone with a big screen and a long battery life at a wallet-friendly price, the Motorola G32 is the perfect companion. Its generous 6.5-inch display and 5000mAh battery means you can rely on it to perform when needed.

Between the Motorola G32 and Motorola E32, it’s close competition for the best budget smartphone in the brand’s range. However, the G32 is perfect if you want more grunt in an affordable phone.

Motorola E32

Best Motorola phone for those on a budget or needing a backup device

Moto E32

The idea of the ‘backup phone’ used to mean suffering a chunky, horrible plastic handset just to have that extra device for emergencies. No more. The Moto E32 might have a low price, but this is no disposable phone, and it’s powerful enough to use every day.

Since it’s so affordable, the Moto E32 is a great choice for a child, or for adventurous travel where losing it is a real possibility. Or, similarly, as your backup device if something happens to your main phone.

The moto E32 weighs just 184g so carrying it as an extra is no burden. The 5000mAh battery is the same as in much more expensive phones, and the fast charge function is there too.

The display is bright and clear and scrolls at 90Hz, and the 16MP rear camera and 8MP selfie are both 1080p capable. That makes the moto e32 great for video calling (and not too bad for happy snaps, either).

The casing is water-repellent, so you don’t need to treat the Moto E32 with kid gloves, and dual SIM slots give you even more flexibility for travel, or maximising your phone plan budget.

Overall, its big screen and small price tag puts the Motorola E32 in a sweet spot for savvy phone shoppers.
