The ZuPick verdict

3.4out of 5
SkipBest at display, weakest at value.

The Motorola G72 combines an excellent display and strong camera hardware with average endurance and modest performance. Its high price and 4G-only connectivity make the complete package difficult to recommend.

Based on specs, expert reviews and owner discussions.
Performance2.8
It reaches about 356,000 on AnTuTu, which is adequate for social media, streaming and routine multitasking. The 6 GB RAM and UFS 2.1 storage are serviceable, but demanding games need reduced settings and connectivity is limited to 4G.
Camera4.1
The 108 MP main camera combines a bright f/1.7 aperture with autofocus, supporting detailed daylight photos and improved light capture indoors. The 16 MP front camera is suitable for social posts, though 1080p30 video is basic.
Display4.4
The 120 Hz OLED panel is smooth, vibrant and unusually bright. Its 1080x2460 resolution keeps text and video crisp, while 1300-nit peak brightness supports comfortable outdoor viewing.
Battery3.0
The 5000 mAh battery delivers dependable all-day use, with testing reaching 14 hours and 18 minutes. The 33 W charger offers reasonable rather than class-leading refill speeds.
Value2.0
At ₹19,990, 6 GB RAM, 128 GB storage and 4G connectivity make this an expensive package. The excellent display and versatile rear cameras recover some value, but they do not fully offset its connectivity and performance limitations.

Pros & cons

What’s good
Excellent OLED display

The 120 Hz OLED screen delivers smooth scrolling, strong contrast and sharp 1080x2460 detail. Peak brightness of 1300 nits also helps outdoors.

Strong daylight camera setup

The 108 MP main camera, f/1.7 aperture and autofocus support detailed everyday photos. An 8 MP ultra-wide camera adds flexibility for groups and landscapes.

Slim and lightweight build

At 7.9 mm and 166 grams, the phone feels easier to carry and hold than many large-screen alternatives. IP52 protection adds reassurance against dust and splashes.

Useful everyday extras

NFC enables compatible tap-to-pay services, while the headphone jack and expandable storage remain convenient. Stereo-style Dolby Atmos audio support improves entertainment.

What’s not
Only 4G connectivity

This is a major drawback at ₹19,990, where 5G is common. Buyers planning to keep their phone for several years should look at 5G alternatives.

Poor value for money

The 6 GB RAM and 128 GB configuration is difficult to justify at this price. Faster phones with 5G can be found for similar money.

Basic video recording

Rear video is limited to 1080p at 30 fps. Moving footage looks less fluid and detailed than video from phones offering 1080p60 or 4K recording.

What owners say

From Reddit

I bought the g72 for 239€ in France and I must say that I am more than satisfied, I hesitated for a long time with other models but for the price I must say that it is excellent. The battery life the screen the quality of the photos but also the weight, nothing to say.

I bought Motorola G72 2 years ago and still use it. It's great phone, pretty fast CPU even today, 8 GB of RAM, 128 GB internal storage, and its Dual SIM, which was important for me. Display is amazing (OLED) and perfectly readable even at direct sun, camera is good but not great, sound is decent considering the price

Battery life is excellent, and I only need to charge once in 2 to 3 days while using the phone quite a lot. No powerbanks needed for full day GPS/maps heavy trips, ever. It is definitely reliable phone, I have never had any issues with it from hardware point of view.

The system is stable too (upgraded to Android 13, but sadly no upgrade after that so far), the only issue is that by default it installs some crappy apps every once in a while automatically and without consent.. Fortunately this can be turned off relatively easily in settings.
