Moto G51 5G: what affects the choice of accessories

The Moto G51 5G from the Moto G50 series is a phone with a Snapdragon 480 processor and a large, flat 6.8-inch IPS LCD screen with a resolution of 2400 × 1080 and a 120 Hz refresh rate. The 13 MP selfie camera sits in a punch-hole in the screen. The body measures about 170.5 × 76.5 × 9.1 mm and weighs 208 g, and the IP52 rating provides protection against splashes.

On the back there are three cameras: 50 MP main, 8 MP ultra-wide and 2 MP macro. The fingerprint reader is in the side button, so the thickness of the screen protection has no effect on unlocking. Other models in the series, such as the Moto G52 or the Moto G53 5G, have different screens and bodies, so their cases and glass do not fit the G51.

Tempered glass and film for the Moto G51

The 6.8-inch screen is flat, which makes it easy to fit protection yourself. In this category you will find:

• tempered glass: with a black frame or in a case-friendly version that does not clash with the lip of a case; also in sets with a lens protector,
• hybrid glass: flexible, in a standard version and a thinner lite version,
• hydrogel and protective films: they adhere to the whole surface and fill the edges well,
• gaming films: matte, they reduce fingerprints and make it easier to swipe during games,
• matte, privacy and antimicrobial films.

Cases, back film and camera protection for the Moto G51

A flip case protects the large screen in your pocket or bag and has a card compartment. If you prefer the phone without a case, you can choose a back film, which protects the back from scratches without adding thickness. The lenses on the camera island are protected by camera glass, also sold in packs of two.

Charging the Moto G51

According to most specifications, the Moto G51 charges at 10 W over a cable. A more powerful charger will not speed up charging, but it will not do any harm either: the phone draws only as much power as it supports. For everyday use, a smartphone charger with a USB-C cable is enough, and for travelling a 10000 mAh power bank.

With a flip case, check the cut-out for the side button with the fingerprint reader: it has to be wide enough for your finger to touch the entire surface of the sensor freely.

Brands

Protection for the Moto G51 is made by brands such as 3MK, Bizon, GrizzGlass and Dux Ducis.

Frequently asked questions

Does a Moto G52 case fit the G51?

No. The G52 has different dimensions and a different camera layout, so you need a case labelled for the G51.

Will tempered glass cover the selfie camera?

The glass covers the camera punch-hole, but it is fully transparent and does not affect photo quality, as long as the screen is carefully cleaned before fitting.
