Moto G13 and G23 Full Specifications
Display
Both the Moto G13 and Moto G23 feature a 6.5-inch HD+ IPS LCD display with a resolution of 1600 x 720 pixels. The screen runs at a 90Hz refresh rate and supports a 576Hz touch sampling rate. Brightness tops out at 400 nits, and the panel is protected by Panda Glass. The front uses a punch-hole cutout for the selfie camera.
Processor and Performance
Both smartphones are powered by the MediaTek Helio G85 octa-core processor clocked at 2.0GHz, paired with a Mali-G52 MC2 GPU. The Moto G23 tops out at 8GB of RAM, while the Moto G13 is limited to 4GB RAM. Both phones ship with Android 13 out of the box.
Camera
On the rear, both models share a triple-camera system anchored by a 50-megapixel primary sensor with an F/1.8 aperture. The Moto G13 adds a 2-megapixel macro lens and a 2-megapixel depth sensor. The Moto G23 swaps the depth sensor for a 5-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens and retains the 2-megapixel macro lens.
For selfies, the Moto G23 gets a 16-megapixel front camera, while the Moto G13 uses an 8-megapixel front shooter.
