Don’t you need a high-end phone to play games anymore? For this test, we selected the popular Call of Duty: Mobile and its most recent update that includes the dizzying mode Hordepoint. The result? We found that even mid-range phones can offer an amazing gaming experience.
Video games are finding a new showcase on mobile devices. Historically, they had not received the same respect as console or PC games, but in 2023 they generated more than $90 billion, representing half of the global video game market. This figure ranges from casual titles to AAA productions, reflecting the growth and evolution of the mobile sector. The border between mobile games and traditional games is increasingly blurred.
At the same time, the smartphones They have improved enormously in recent years, being able to meet the processing and graphics demands of the most advanced games. This technical progress is driving the quality and variety of games available on these platforms. Although for many mobile games are a complement to the consoles they have at home, there is a huge market of potential gamers whose primary device is their smartphone.
With the increase in the power of smartphones, titles like Call of Duty Mobile They are expanding their reach to a wider range of devices, seeking to appeal to this growing audience. This suggests a future where releasing games simultaneously on consoles, PC, and mobile platforms could become the norm.
We tested five Motorola phone models from different ranges to challenge the popular belief that only high-end and expensive devices can offer a smooth experience in demanding mobile games.
Hordepoint mode: frenetic action
Hordepoint mode in Call of Duty: Mobile is an evolution of the classic Hardpoint, in which your team must defend a point while enemies try to take it. The addition of zombies makes the action even more intense. We asked ourselves: could a mid-range or low-end phone be up to this frenetic experience?
Moto G34: The most basic, but surprisingly capable
We start with the Motorola Moto G34the most economical model on the list. Although its screen offers a decent resolution for its price range, we noticed that the viewing angles are not the best, something that does not really affect during gameplay, since no one plays with the phone tilted. Despite being a relatively low-end device, the game loaded quickly and the fluidity of the animations surprised us. During combat, the phone performed very well, with no FPS drops or major issues. We even forgot that we were testing an entry-level device. The G34 proves that you don’t need to spend a fortune to enjoy Call of Duty: Mobile.
Moto G54: A more refined visual experience
When testing the Moto G54we noticed a clear improvement on the screen. With better contrast, resolution, and a faster refresh rate, the gaming experience felt smoother and visually richer. Shadows and reflections in the game were more detailed, which raised the overall quality. Additionally, performance was still flawless, with no lag or overheating issues during long gaming sessions.
Moto G62: Solid performance but no big surprises
With the Moto G62the experience was quite similar to the G54. While performance was still solid, we preferred the G54’s display for its superior color and contrast handling. Although there is not a huge difference between these two models, the G62 is still a reliable option for gamers looking for a stable experience.
Moto G84: Refining what was already good
He Moto G84 It represents another step in the range, and although there is no radical change compared to previous models, improvements can be seen in the textures and responsiveness of the controls. From here, it’s hard to notice any significant improvements in performance. While the graphical experience and fluidity are refined, the differences become less evident. However, it is still an excellent device for those looking for a balance between price and performance.
The results up to this point are not surprising since the price difference between the previous models is small.
Motorola Edge 50: The real leap in quality
Finally, we arrive at Motorola Edge 50where we really noticed the biggest change in the gaming experience. Thanks to its ability to connect to Wi-Fi 6 (ax band), downloads and updates on Call of Duty Mobile They were faster than the other devices. The screen, with almost non-existent edges, offers an immersive visual quality that takes the gaming experience to another level. The graphics look sharp and detailed, and the phone’s response is impeccable. Although this model is close to the high-end, it is still competitively priced, making it an excellent option for the most demanding players looking for optimal value for money.
Outstanding performance across the range
This generation of Motorola phones proves that you don’t need a high-end device to enjoy Call of Duty: Mobile. From the most basic g34 to the Edge 50, all models offered a satisfying gaming experience. While it is true that there are differences when climbing the ranges, such as screen quality or connection speed, during the frenetic games of Hordepoint mode you will be too focused on surviving and protecting your assigned point to notice these differences. With any of these models, you will enjoy a competitive and immersive experience.
