Reviews for the Motorola Moto G 5G

81.3% Motorola Moto G 5G review: Affordable 5G smartphone with IP rating and stamina | Notebookcheck
The Moto G 5G from Motorola combines a good feature set with long battery life at a relatively low price of under 300 Euros (~$365). However, the mid-range phone from the Moto G series has one major shortcoming. You can find out what this is in our review of the Motorola smartphone.

The Motorola Moto G 5G seems like a pretty good, well-rounded midranger with the only caveat that the competition offers twice the storage and brighter displays. Aside from that, the Moto G 5G has clean software, stellar battery life, excellent performance thanks to the Snapdragon 750G and a camera setup that can definitely get the job done.

Moto G 5G Review
Source: Fone Arena English
At a price of Rs. 20,999, the moto g 5G is value-for-money budget 5G smartphone from Motorola offering stock Android experience. The main camera is good in most conditions, the phone offers smooth performance and the battery life is good as well. AMOLED screen or high refresh rate LCD screen would have been a good addition and the Glass body would have offered a premium look and feel. Also, the low-light camera performance could have been better.

Motorola Moto G 5G Review: A Great 5G-Ready Smartphone, But The Camera Needs Work
Source: Tech2.in.com English Archive.org version
In short, the Realme 7 Pro still gets you the best possible combination of hardware, software and camera performance you possibly can at Rs 19,999. Get the new Motorola Moto G only if 5G is a priority (it should not be) or you just cannot do without a two-day battery or stock Android, and are willing to compromise on the camera.

Moto G 5G has good daylight captures, ultrawide, portraits, close up and good selfie camera, but there are few areas of improvement which like the macros, video recording, and also low light which aren't bad but can be improved.

Motorola Moto G 5G Review: Present perfect, future promising with 5G
Source: India Today English Archive.org version
The major promise of the Moto G 5G is its 5G connectivity. But 5G in India is still at least a year away even if Jio has announced that it is coming in 2021. Thankfully, you don’t have to entirely go by the promise of 5G. Sure, it is nice to have, but I feel that the Moto G 5G is also a phone that is extremely capable even if you take out the 5G part from it. In particular, I am impressed with its display, performance from 750G and the clean Android software. The camera also works extremely well, granted there is good light in the scene. All of that makes the Moto G 5G a well-balanced phone at a price of Rs 20,999. The only reservation I have is that this is a little-bland looking phone. But that should not matter much to those who seek practicality and value overall things shiny and jazzy.

Comment

Qualcomm Adreno 619: Integrated (in the Snapdragon 750G) graphics card based on the Adreno 600 architecture. The performance is a lot better than the old Adreno 612.

Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.


SD 750G 5G: Fast mid-range ARM SoC with 8 CPU Kryo 570 cores (two fast ARM Cortex-A77 cores at up to 2.2 GHz and six small ARM Cortex-A55 cores at up to 1.8 GHz) and a fast X52 5G modem (up to 3700 Mbps download). The SoC is manufactured in the modern 8 nm process.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.


6.70":

It is a small display format for smartphones. You shouldn't be severely defective in vision, and you won't see much detail on the screen and only have a small resolution available. For that, the device should be small and handy, easy to transport.

» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.


Motorola: Founded in 1928, the US-based company mainly focuses on communication technology such as smartphones. The original company Motorola Inc was split up in 2011. Motorola Mobility got the smartphone division and was taken over by Google in 2012 and Lenovo in 2014.

The company is known for its cell phones and other electronic devices such as smartwatches, tablets and accessories. Motorola was one of the first companies to produce cell phones, and in recent years has also innovated in the areas of 5G technology and modular smartphones (Moto Mods). Motorola is also active in public safety and professional communications, providing solutions for government agencies, businesses and other organizations. The company has operations in North America, Europe, Asia and Latin America and employs more than 10,000 people worldwide. 


75.93%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
