If you’ve been eyeing Motorola’s recent budget offerings but wanted just a little more power, your wait might be over. The newly announced Moto G77 sits just a step above the popular G67, refining an already winning formula with a brighter screen, a more powerful chipset, and a headline-grabbing camera sensor that’s a first for the G-series.
At first glance, the family resemblance is clear. But the devil—and the delight—is in the details.
A Screen That Demands Your Attention
Motorola isn’t shy about the display, and after seeing the specs, it’s easy to understand why. The Moto G77 features a large 6.78-inch Extreme AMOLED panel with a silky 120Hz refresh rate. The company calls it the brightest screen ever on a Moto G phone, boasting 5 times the brightness and a 17% sharper resolution compared to last year’s Moto G56. Whether you’re battling glare outdoors or binging your favorite shows, this should be a massive upgrade. And for peace of mind, it’s all protected by durable Corning Gorilla Glass 7i.
Speaking of the G56, if you're looking for a solid deal on that previous model to compare, you can often find it available on platforms like Amazon.
Performance & Storage: No More Compromises
Under the hood, the G77 gets a notable boost with the MediaTek Dimensity 6400 processor. This should handle everyday tasks and moderate gaming with ease. More importantly, Motorola is offering generous configurations straight out of the box. You can choose between 8GB or 12GB of RAM paired with either 256GB or a whopping 512GB of internal storage. If that’s still not enough, the ever-handy microSD card slot makes a return for further expansion.

The Camera King of the G-Series?
This is where the Moto G77 truly separates itself. Motorola has equipped it with a 108MP main camera, a first for the G-series. It even supports 3x lossless zoom, promising clear, detailed shots even when you pinch in. The dual-camera system is rounded out by an 8MP ultrawide sensor, while selfie lovers get a high-resolution 32MP front-facing camera.
Software features are plentiful, including Dual Capture for photo and video simultaneously, Night Vision for low-light shots, and a Pro mode for manual control. This package makes the G77 one of the most camera-capable budget phones on the market.
Connectivity, Battery, and That Clean Software
The Moto G77 is well-equipped for modern life:
- Connectivity: Bluetooth 5.4, dual-band Wi-Fi, NFC for payments, dual-SIM support, and a USB-C port.
- Media: Stereo speakers tuned with Dolby Atmos and, in a win for traditionalists, a 3.5mm audio jack.
- Durability: An IP64 rating means it’s protected from dust and water splashes.
- Software: It ships with the latest Android 16 overlaid with Motorola’s clean, helpful Hello UX.
- Battery: A massive 5200mAh battery promises all-day endurance, supported by 30W fast wired charging.
Price, Availability, and Final Thoughts
The Moto G77 will be available in two sophisticated Pantone colors: Black Olive and Shaded Spruce. Pricing is appealingly competitive.
In the European Union, the €299.99 price tag gets you the 8GB RAM + 512GB storage version. In the UK, the model is slightly different at £250 for an 8GB + 128GB configuration. Depending on your region, the box includes a protective case and the 30W charger.
The Bottom Line: The Moto G77 isn't a revolutionary redesign, but it's a strategic and impressive upgrade. It takes the reliable foundation of the G67 and meaningfully improves the three areas users care about most: the display quality, the processing power, and especially the camera versatility. For anyone seeking a balanced, feature-rich smartphone that firmly stays in the budget category, the Moto G77 is shaping up to be a very compelling choice.
