Launching in Australia this week, the Moto G35 isn't as flash as more premium models but comes with a $199 price tag.
The Moto G35 comes with a 6.7-inch 1080p display with a 120Hz refresh rate, a Unisoc T7601 processor, 4GB of RAM, 128GB of storage and a 5,000mAh battery. There’s a 50MP primary camera and 8MP ultrawide camera on the rear and a 16MP selfie camera on the front.
It also has Corning Gorilla Glass 3, stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos. Like the recently announced Moto G05 and Moto G15 the Moto G35 also has NFC so you use tap-to-pay options like Google Pay.
The G35 comes with Android 14 and will receive an update to Android 15. It also has 3 years of security updates until October 2027.
The Moto G35 is available in Midnight Black now on a plan or outright from Vodafone and will be available at a later date from Optus. Here is the Moto G35 paired with Vodafone's SIM-only plans:
With decent all-round specs for a low price point, Motorola's budget handsets are a good opportunity for those looking to save money during a cost-of-living crisis.
Budget models from bigger brands come in at just shy of the $1,000 mark but come with features like water resistance, wireless charging and ongoing OS updates for longer. Apple's iPhone 16e starts at $999 while Google's budget phone the Pixel 8a starts at $849 (the recently announced Pixel 9a will also retail for $849).
You can still save on the more expensive "budget phones". Optu currently has offers for $200 off the iPhone 16e and $618 off the Pixel 8a as part of its Epic Deals sale. The discount is applied over the course of a 24- or 36-month repayment term.
