Motorola Moto G04s

The Motorola Moto G04s has a conventional, non-folding form factor with dimensions of 163.5 mm tall, 74.5 mm wide, and 8 mm thick, keeping it relatively slim for everyday handling. It weighs 178.8 g and occupies a volume of 97.446 cm³, resulting in a moderately compact footprint. The device carries a degree of water resistance, offering some protection against moisture, though it does not feature a rugged build designed for harsh or demanding environments.

The Motorola Moto G04s uses an IPS LCD touchscreen measuring 6.56″ with a resolution of 720 x 1612 px and a pixel density of 269 ppi, delivering a reasonably sized viewing area for everyday tasks. The panel supports a 90Hz refresh rate, which contributes to smoother scrolling and on-screen motion. It is protected by Gorilla Glass 3, providing a layer of resistance against scratches and minor impacts. The display does not support HDR10, HDR10+, or Dolby Vision, and there is no Always-On Display mode or secondary screen present.

The Motorola Moto G04s is built around the Unisoc T606 chipset, manufactured on a 12 nm process with an 8-thread CPU running at 1.6 GHz across all cores, supported by big.LITTLE technology and Heterogeneous Multi-Processing (HMP) for more efficient task distribution. It comes with 8GB of DDR4 RAM running at 1600 MHz and 128GB of eMMC 5.1 internal storage, with the system supporting a maximum memory amount of 14GB and a peak memory bandwidth of 12.8 GB/s. Graphics are handled by the Mali G57 MP1 GPU, which operates at 650 MHz with 64 shading units and one execution unit, supporting DirectX 12, OpenGL ES 3.2, and OpenCL 2. The SoC includes integrated LTE and TrustZone security, and the chip has a thermal design power of 10W. Cache configuration consists of 128 KB L1, 2 MB L2, and 1 MB L3. In terms of benchmark results, the device scores 220,000 on AnTuTu, 1,391 multi-core and 371 single-core on Geekbench 6, 1,175 multi-core and 313 single-core on Geekbench 5, and a PassMark score of 2,663 overall with 988 in the single-core test.

The Motorola Moto G04s features a single-lens rear camera with a 50 MP CMOS sensor and an f/1.8 aperture, with individual pixels measuring 0.64 µm. It supports phase-detection autofocus, touch autofocus, and continuous autofocus during video recording, though laser autofocus is not available. Manual controls include exposure, ISO, focus, and white balance, while manual shutter speed is not supported. The camera can shoot in burst mode, HDR, and panorama, but does not support RAW output, 360-degree panoramas, or optical zoom. Video recording is capped at 1080p at 30fps with slow-motion support, though HDR10 and Dolby Vision recording are absent. A single LED flash is present on the rear, with no dual-tone or RGB flash option. The 5 MP front camera has an f/2.2 aperture and is a single-lens unit with no under-display placement or front-facing flash. Neither the front nor rear camera supports 3D photo or video capture.

The Motorola Moto G04s runs Android 14 and includes a broad set of privacy controls, covering clipboard warnings, location privacy options, and camera and microphone access management, though Mail Privacy Protection and cross-site tracking blocking are not available. Users can block app tracking, and the OS incorporates on-device machine learning capabilities. On the customization side, the device supports dark mode, dynamic theming, theme customization, widgets, and customizable notifications, while focus modes are not present. Practical usability features include split-screen multitasking, Picture-in-Picture, full-page scrolling screenshots, a media picker, Live Text, sharing intents, a child lock, and the ability to play games while they are still downloading. The system supports multi-user accounts, offline voice recognition, voice commands, and device position tracking, but does not support Wi-Fi password sharing, app offloading, Quick Start, or use as a PC. OS updates are not delivered directly from the OS vendor, and the platform is free and open source.

The Motorola Moto G04s is equipped with a 5000 mAh rechargeable battery that supports 15W wired fast charging, and a charger is included in the box. A battery level indicator is present for at-a-glance monitoring. The battery is not removable, and wireless charging is not supported.

The Motorola Moto G04s includes a 3.5 mm headphone jack, allowing wired audio accessories to be used directly. However, the device lacks stereo speakers, relying on a single speaker for audio output. On the wireless audio side, none of the high-quality Bluetooth codec standards are supported, including aptX, aptX HD, aptX Adaptive, aptX Lossless, and LDAC. There is also no built-in radio tuner.

The Motorola Moto G04s supports dual SIM cards and connects via Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n) and Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac), with Bluetooth 5.0 and NFC also on board, though 5G is not available. Wired connectivity is handled through a USB Type-C port running on USB 2.0, and there is no HDMI output. Cellular download speeds reach up to 300 Mbit/s with upload speeds of up to 100 Mbit/s. The device includes a fingerprint scanner for biometric authentication, while 3D facial recognition and an iris scanner are not present. For navigation, GPS and Galileo are supported, but there is no compass, gyroscope, or barometer. The accelerometer is included, while motion tracking and optical tracking are absent. An external memory slot is available for storage expansion. The device does not include a stylus, infrared sensor, heart rate monitor, ANT+ support, built-in projector, DLNA certification, crash detection, or emergency SOS via satellite.

The Motorola Moto G04s includes a video light, which can be used to illuminate scenes during video recording. The display is flat rather than curved, and neither sapphire glass nor an e-paper panel are featured.
