Tablets are versatile devices for everyday use. Even for those who study, work or enjoy browsing the web, these devices provide portability for everyday life. So today we are going to introduce the newly released Motorola Moto Tab G70 from Motorola.
Currently, the Brazilian market has a few tablet manufacturers to choose from, but most face the exact same problem: performance. In addition to constant crashes, outdated chipsets, low RAM and batteries are often found.
However, the Moto Tab G70 marks the manufacturer’s return to Brazil with its latest device. With 64GB of storage, 4GB of RAM and a 7,700mAh battery, it could be a mid-range option available on the market.
I was able to test it for almost two days and give my opinion on its use. Check it out in our review.
Design and Construction
Motorola’s Moto Tab G70 has a simple design. It’s lightweight, and the back and edges are made from aluminum for good looks and durability.
The 11-inch screen is fine for most content as it’s not too big or too small in my opinion, which helps with usability and portability.
The placement of the front and side sensors and buttons indicates Motorola’s attention to the construction of this device, as they are designed for a horizontal configuration.
More specifically, on the front of the Tab G70, we’ve placed the 8MP camera in the center of the top corner. On the side we see the following connectors and buttons:
- volume up/down buttons;
- lock/unlock button;
- Four Dolby Atmos audio outputs;
- two microphones;
- use a memory card slot;
- Insert the keyboard cover;
- USB-C input for uploading and file transfer.
- In addition to the flash on the side, we have a 13 MP autofocus sensor to ensure illuminated recordings.
The only part missing from the build is the fingerprint reader, which is present in some other models that are very similar in configuration to the G70.
Screen
The Tab G70’s display is high quality, with enough color, brightness and clarity to handle any activity. Playing games, editing photos or watching some videos on YouTube becomes quite an enjoyable task.
The panel is an IPS LCD type with 11 inches, 400 nits (brightness) and 2K resolution (2000 x 1200 pixels). The reproduced image is beautiful, without color loss and good contrast.
It is also excellent for outdoor use. Because of its decent brightness levels, I had no issues with sunlight or excessive screen brightness as I was able to see text and content without any issues.
Configuration and Performance
The platform used by the Moto Tab G60 is the 12nm Helio G90T. While MediaTek has some issues with the performance of its older chipsets, the lineup used in this tablet leaves all these bad impressions, providing enough firepower for most activities and games.
The version available in Brazil has 64 GB of storage and 4 GB of RAM. While I would prefer these numbers to be higher, I can say that they don’t affect the user experience.
In my opinion, 4GB of RAM is the minimum required for Android to work properly. I was able to use the device even with some apps open and games running in the background, proving a slightly more comfortable workspace on the Tab G70.
The G90T chipset chosen for this handset is one of the best in the mid-range and offers good performance. Another positive aspect is the availability of the Google Kids Space app, which offers exclusive content based on children of each age group.
Please keep in mind that this app is only released for some devices in the market. Soon Motorola was a good choice for children’s tablets sold in Brazil.
Despite not being a mobile gamer, I tested the device with some of the most popular games of the time: Brawl Stars, Call of Duty and Free Fire. All three titles can be played at medium/high graphics without losing FPS.
Four audio outputs – two on the left and two on the right – provide a “surround” effect even without headphones via Dolby Atmos, allowing you to distinguish between left and right during a game.
I also performed two different benchmarks, both available through the 3D Mark application. In the first test, Wild Life, a total of 1360 points were scored.
In the second test, Wil Life Extreme, 380 points. It is worth remembering that this score is very good for a device like the Tab G70, which has an intermediate chipset in its construction.
The launch price of the Tab G70 was 2,400 reais, marking the manufacturer’s return to the Brazilian tablet market.
Back camera
Normally, tablets don’t offer good photographic quality, but this model that we tested proved to be reasonable in that sense.
On recording, the color and contrast were fine, but there was still some noise in one shot or another.
The video is shot in 1080p (Full HD), and in well-lit environments we get a coherent capture.
As with the front sensor, the rear camera ended up being reasonably affected when we tried to take pictures in places where natural light was unfavorable. So you need to pay attention to this issue when capturing packets.
Frontal camera
The G70’s front camera recorded actual clicks and the overall quality was reasonable. Photos generally don’t look great in low light, but I don’t think this is a negative for the product as most similar devices suffer from the exact same issue.
It also records in 1080p at 30 FPS, ensuring video calls go smoothly. Portrait mode does its job well, cropping and blurring the recorded background.
Even with 8 MP, it manages to take scarce photos with a certain quality and is not ashamed of its proposal.
Sound system
The Tab G70’s sound system is excellent. When listening to songs with bass and strong beats, I notice that the sound quality is great. Even though this characteristic is dominant, the music has not lost its “power”.
The treble also suffers no distortion or loss of quality, being crisp and clear.
I always listen to specific songs to evaluate these characteristics to identify and perceive the quality of each different device I test.
Dolby Atmos is present in the tablet’s four-speaker structure and is responsible for the “surround” effect perceived during use.
As I mentioned in the example above, I can clearly see the difference between left and right, especially in FPS games.
Battery and Charging
The battery of the G70 is impressive, mainly because it can withstand long periods of use without constantly charging the tablet. In total, there are 7,700 mAh, which provide enough autonomy for a whole day of moderate use.
We ran our battery life tests using the Netflix video streaming app. After running the tablet non-stop for three hours, I noticed that the consumption was only 28% of the total. All in all, it takes almost 11 hours of continuous use to fully use it. An excellent number.
The charging standard is USB-C standard, and it is equipped with a 20W “fast charge” type charger, supplied in the box.
Conclusion
The Moto Tab G70 is a decent tablet overall. With a good aluminum finish and compatible configuration to run most apps and games available on the official store, it’s a great choice among Android tablets on sale.
The kids-oriented Google Kids Space app has been integrated into the G70, making it a great choice for anyone looking for a tablet model designed for kids.
Featuring a variety of games, stories and content for all ages. In addition to entertainment, this app also ensures that children can only access content deemed safe.
Soon, the Moto Tab G70 marked Motorola’s return to the Brazilian tablet market as a solid choice among mid-range models.
