If you’re on the hun for a smartphone that serves as personal assistant, creative studio, entertainment hub and emergency lifeline all rolled into one, then it might be time to make room in your bag for the new Moto g57. And, with the latest addition to the Motorola family, officially landing in Australia, for less than $300 team Motorola are on a mission to prove that fab tech doesn’t need a four-figure price tag to impress.
A Camera That Understands Your Life (and Lighting)
The Moto g57 comes equipped with a 50MP Sony LYTIA 600 camera system, backed by Moto AI, which means clearer, brighter images — even when the lighting isn’t playing nice.
Whether you’re snapping spontaneous brunch shots, low-light dinner moments or content on the fly, Quad Pixel technology pulls in more light for sharper results. There’s also an 8MP ultra-wide lens for group shots and travel moments, plus a clever flicker sensor that smooths out banding under artificial lights. Selfies and video calls are covered too, with an 8MP front camera that keeps things crisp and flattering.
Add in Google Photos’ AI-powered editing tools like Magic Eraser and Photo Unblur, and suddenly your camera roll needs far less babysitting.
Built for Busy Days … and Accidental Drops
This phone is designed with movement in mind. Motorola certifies the Moto g57 to military-grade durability standards and tests it for drops, extreme temperatures and pressure changes. Translation? It survives being tossed into a gym bag, dropped on concrete or used one-handed while juggling groceries.
It also features Gorilla Glass 7i, offering up to three times better drop and scratch resistance, plus IP64 water resistance for extra peace of mind. Spills, splashes and surprise rainstorms are no longer a crisis.
Design-wise, it’s sleek without being slippery, finished in a premium vegan leather texture that resists fingerprints and feels genuinely good in hand. The Pantone colourways — Corsair, Fluidity and Regatta — add a fashion-forward edge without screaming for attention.
Ready, set, scroll
Under the hood, the Moto g57 runs on the Snapdragon 6s Gen 4 processor, delivering fast, stable performance whether you’re multitasking, gaming, video calling or scrolling endlessly (no judgement).
With up to 12GB RAM thanks to RAM Boost and 128GB storage, there’s room for apps, photos, downloads and then some. It also runs Android 16 straight out of the box, bringing upgraded privacy, security and customisation options.
The 6.72-inch FHD+ display is bright, smooth and easy on the eyes, with a 120Hz refresh rate that makes scrolling and gaming feel noticeably more fluid. High Brightness Mode boosts visibility when you need it most — even by the pool — while Water Touch 2.0 keeps the screen responsive despite splashes.
Dolby Atmos stereo speakers and Hi-Res Audio round out the experience, turning commutes, workouts and wind-down time into genuinely immersive moments.
Battery Life That Actually Lasts
The 5200mAh battery delivers up to 47 hours on a single charge, so you’re not constantly hunting for a power point. And when you do need to recharge, 30W TurboPower gets you back to around 90 per cent in under an hour.
Battery Care software helps extend long-term performance, with up to 1000 charge cycles, making this a phone built to last well beyond the upgrade cycle hype.
So, Who is The Moto g57 For?
The Moto g57 is for women who want smart, stylish tech that fits into real life — not the other way around. It’s reliable without being boring, feature-rich without being overwhelming, and priced so you don’t feel guilty actually using it.
Available now for $299 at JB Hi-Fi, Officeworks, The Good Guys, Big W, Harvey Norman, Bing Lee, MobileCiti and Amazon, the Moto g57 proves that mid-tier phones are having a serious glow-up — and this one might just be the smartest buy of 2026.
