Some might complain that it is not very bright, but I actually hate bright displays, so it suits me perfectly. We also check how the battery copes with just a 15 minute charge and how long it takes to reach 100%. It comes complete with Google Lens and various different modes including spot colour which has been around for a while, allowing you to pick a colour out leaving everything else monochrome.

Like a lot of phones at the moment, the Moto G31 has a sizeable 5000mAh battery and Motorola says that you can get 36 hours of usage from it.On the plus side, the Moto G31 does offer plenty of great software options that are easily picked out as and when you might want to use them. It’s set to four icons wide, but I’d prefer to make it five to fit more but this isn’t an option in the menu.
