About the Motorola moto g23
Motorola PAX20004SE is listed in the smartphones category. The recorded specifications include display diagonal: 16.5 cm (6.5"); internal storage capacity: 128 GB; mobile network generation: 4G; operating system installed: Android 13. This entry covers manufacturer code PAX20004SE. Specifications relate to this exact source record; other editions or packages may differ.
The 16.5 cm (6.5") display is specified at 1600 x 720 pixels. Consider these together: a larger screen provides more physical space, while resolution determines the number of pixels available. Neither specification establishes brightness, colour accuracy or motion quality.
The listed maximum refresh rate is 90 Hz. To use it, the source device, cable, resolution and input must all support the intended mode. Refresh rate is separate from response time and input lag.
