It’s not too bad when viewed from a distance, but zoom in for a close crop and you can see exactly how little detail is captured.

With 128 GB eMMC flash, the phone's mass storage is quite slow but is also extensive: at the moment, most similarly priced competitors still offer 64 or even only 32 GB data storage. There is also an NFC module, which is by no means a matter of course in this price range.

Here’s a church near my house on a bright, sunny June day: Motorola's Moto G13 is a quite fast phone from the affordable mid-range with good features: 90 Hz display, NFC, and a lot of storage.The mobile reception is decent for an inexpensive phone in our random tests during the review but can't keep up with high-end phones. The macro lens is fun, but probably the kind of thing you’ll only try once. Here’s a two-Euro coin close enough to see all the scuffs it endured while being passed around mainland Europe. But it actually eclipses the Xiaomi in graphical performance. Ignore the on-screen figures — that’s down to the 720p resolution (fewer pixels means better frame rate). But when you equalise the two at 1080p offscreen, the Moto G13 squeezes out a few more frames per second.

The maximum temperature of 38.4 °C is not critical, and the performance is not affected by this, as the 3DMark stress test shows us: even after numerous runs of the benchmark, the achieved frame rate is about the same.The memory is unfortunately only slow eMMC, but the phone only heats up marginally under load and hardly throttles its performance. Apart from the somewhat too pressure-sensitive casing and the uncertain update situation, we hardly find any real points of criticism. The Moto G13 comes with a triple-camera array composed of a 50MP (f/1.8) main snapper and two additional 2MP (f/2.4) lenses: one for macro, and another for depth. The Moto G13 can use the earpiece as a second speaker and thus create a stereo effect. The sound is overall good and does not overdrive but the music sounds a bit muffled. The speakers are also not really loud. There is a 3.5 mm audio port at the smartphone's upper edge, that can be used for connecting headphones or speakers. External audio devices can also be connected via Bluetooth. Numerous codecs, such as aptX HD, LDAC, or LHDC-V, are available here.
