Motorola Moto G77 offers flagship features at a disruptive mid-range price

The Motorola Moto G77 in Black Olive configuration combines advanced hardware, including a 108MP camera and a high-refresh display, at a significantly lower price point, challenging the premium segment with its aggressive pricing and three-year warranty.

Motorola’s Moto G77 is being positioned as a sharply priced mid-range option in its 8GB/256GB Black Olive configuration, with HWUpgrade putting the handset at €246.75. That price matters because the model combines hardware more often seen in more expensive phones: a large high-refresh display, a 108-megapixel main camera, 5G support and a battery built for long use.

The display is a 6.78-inch pOLED panel with a 1.5K Super HD resolution of 1,272 by 2,772 pixels, a 120Hz refresh rate and peak brightness claimed at up to 5,000 nits. Gorilla Glass 7i is used for protection. According to the product details, the screen specification is one of the phone’s strongest selling points, especially for buyers who value brightness and smooth scrolling over premium build materials.

Imaging is led by a 108MP main sensor with an f/1.7 aperture, phase-detection autofocus, optical image stabilisation and 9-in-1 pixel binning, alongside an 8MP ultra-wide camera with a field of view of about 119-120 degrees. A 32MP front camera handles selfies and video calls. The phone is powered by MediaTek’s Dimensity 6400, an octa-core chip with two Cortex-A76 cores and six Cortex-A55 cores, paired with a Mali-G57 MC2 graphics processor. It ships with 8GB of physical RAM, with Motorola’s RAM Boost feature able to allocate virtual memory up to 24GB for heavier multitasking.

Storage is listed at 256GB and can be expanded with a microSD card of up to 2TB, a feature that is becoming less common in new smartphones. The battery is rated at 5,100mAh in HWUpgrade’s report, with 30W TurboPower charging and a claimed endurance of up to 37 hours. The phone also carries MIL-STD-810H and IP64 certification, plus 5G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.4, NFC, a 3.5mm headphone jack and a side fingerprint reader. It runs Android 16 with a near-stock interface. Other retailers show the same model at higher prices, including €268.09 at Darty and €299.95 at LDLC, underlining how aggressive the Italian offer is. HWUpgrade also says the package comes with an extra year of warranty, bringing cover to three years.
