Dodging the Chinese brands a little, we now have a well-known name: Motorola Moto G53, a smartphone from one of the most popular lines among intermediaries in Brazil. It came out of the oven at the end of last year, in December 2022, with the processor Snapdragon 480 Plus, 4GB RAM and a traditional battery of 5000 mAh capacity. Its screen features a 6.5″ IPS display, with HD resolution only and a refresh rate of 120Hz.

In Mortal Kombat the G53 certainly didn’t reach the screen’s refresh rate limit, but it exceeded expectations, scoring an average of 102 FPS, with 96% stability. In other games like COD Mobile, it proved to be a viable option for gambling, as it easily ran the game at 59 FPS and 93% stability. To conclude, the Moto G53 is the TOP 1 entry smartphone in our ranking so far. We will be waiting, testing other devices, to see if this crown changes owners or not.

Usually we don’t see mid-range devices running this game well, so here’s our congratulations, quite an achievement for the M53.
