Design, Build Quality and Handling

Moto G45 5G is designed like the Moto G34 with a vegan leather finish on the rear panel, which is also claimed to improve the grip and give a premium feel. Available in Brilliant Blue, Brilliant Green, and Viva Magenta, the device offers bright colour options.

At 183g and 8.03mm thick, the phone is solid without feeling overly bulky. Essential ports and buttons — including a side-mounted fingerprint scanner for quick access — are housed within the flat plastic edges.

Display, Battery Life, and Charging Speed

The Moto G45 5G sports a 6.5-inch HD+ IPS LCD display with a 120Hz refresh rate, which should deliver smoother visuals while scrolling through apps and playing games. Admittedly, the 720p resolution is a bit modest, but it is certainly enough for day-to-day tasks and watching videos.

The 5000mAh battery provides enough power to get through a day of moderate to heavy use. The device is compatible with 18W fast charging, and Motorola is nice enough to include a 20W charger in the box, slightly exceeding the supported charging speed.

Software and Performance

The Moto G45 5G offers a near-stock Android feel with its My UX skin that adds customization options. It runs on Android 14. The Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 chipset powering the Realme C51, along with up to 8GB RAM, ensures its decent performance with multitasking and everyday apps.

The leverages a relatively competitive architecture, able to handle most tasks smoothly, and performance across benchmarks is commendable for what it is. More demanding games may need to drop the graphics settings back a little to reach the ideal frame rate.

Camera and Photo and Video Performance

Dual camera rear setup with 50MP main sensor capable of shooting detailed images with good dynamic range. A 2MP macro sensor allows you to take close-up pictures, but it isn’t particularly impressive.

16MP front-facing camera takes decent selfies that work well for social media. Video recording is standard, with stabilization features to minimize shake when taking a video.
