Motorola Moto G42
Motorola Moto G42 is a nice addition to the entry-level G series of smartphones sold by the popular brand, which features a simple and sleek body made from plastic. The frame is also made from the same material in order to reduce weight while maintaining the rigidity of the device. On the front, you get a vibrant display that features a tiny punch-hole camera cutout to hide the selfie sensor, while the fingerprint sensor has been moved to the power button on the right. On the inside, you get a reliable Snapdragon processor that can handle most day-to-day tasks but don’t expect hardcore gaming performance from this unit.
