Motorola's new budget phone that's taking Argentina by storm: price and features

The cell phone market in Argentina is on fire, and this time the protagonist is Motorola with its new Moto G24, an entry-level device that promises to revolutionize the budget segment. With a price around $150,000 in interest-free installments, this device positions itself as a direct rival to the Samsung Galaxy A14 and Xiaomi Redmi 12C, but with features that put it a step above.

The Moto G24 features a 6.56-inch IPS display with HD+ resolution and a 90 Hz refresh rate, unprecedented in this range. Under the hood, we find a MediaTek Helio G85 processor, accompanied by 4GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage, expandable via microSD. The battery is 5000 mAh with 18W fast charging, enough to last all day without issues.

On the photographic front, the Moto G24 boasts a 50 MP main camera with f/1.8 aperture, capturing sharp photos even in low light conditions. The front camera is 8 MP, ideal for selfies and video calls. It also includes a side fingerprint sensor and runs Android 13, with a promise of an update to Android 14.

But what is really causing a stir is the price. In major online stores like Frávega, Musimundo, and Mercado Libre, the Moto G24 is available from $149,999 in cash or transfer, and in fixed installments with bank credit cards: 3 interest-free installments of $50,000 or 6 installments of $25,000. There are even special offers with banks like Galicia or Santander that allow 12 interest-free installments, making it a tempting option for those looking to upgrade their device without breaking the bank.

Compared to its direct competitors, the Samsung Galaxy A14 offers a similar display but with 60 Hz and a 13 MP camera, while the Xiaomi Redmi 12C has 50 MP but no fast charging. It is clear that Motorola is betting heavily on the price-quality ratio, and the numbers back it up: in the first week of launch, sales skyrocketed 300% according to industry sources.

If you are looking for a phone that performs without breaking the piggy bank, the Moto G24 is shaping up to be the best option right now. Don’t miss out on this bargain, because with these prices, stocks fly.
