The Motorola Moto G55 proves that budget smartphones don’t have to feel cheap. With a solid build, smooth performance, and reliable battery life, it offers a well-rounded experience at an attractive price. But its lack of camera capabilities and frequent performance stuttering reveals its limitations. It calls into question if this device is actually good value, even at this price. If you’re only doing very light activities on your phone, you’ll probably get away with using this phone since the design and battery life are very tempting. If you like to switch between apps regularly, however, I’d advise you to consider an alternative.

If you’re looking for a decent all-rounder on a tight budget then the Motorola Moto G55 5G should certainly be on your shortlist. The switch to an ultrawide rear camera and those faster charge times are certainly appealing. If you tend to push your phone then you might wish for a proper 8 GB of RAM, but in that case, you quite possibly have more expensive taste in phones anyway.

I don’t love annual iterative smartphone releases, and scheduling software support to end just as the following year’s model launches only feeds into an anti-consumer cycle. If it wasn’t for that tricky little wrinkle, I’d have happily continued to recommend the G54 5G as the best budget phone around. As things stand, however, the G54 5G is on its way out regardless of my feelings on the matter, and you can get an extra Android update with the G55 5G. Throw in slightly improved performance, a more comprehensive camera suite, superior battery life and faster charging, and this is far from a consolation prize. I may disapprove of the circumstances around it but the simple fact is that Motorola has once again claimed the best budget phone crown with the excellent Moto G55 5G.

At £200, the Motorola Moto G55 represents another terrific value proposition. With it, Motorola has captured the budget handset market with impressive gusto, with the Moto G04 and the Moto G85 retailing for £100 difference in either direction. To complicate matters, the Moto G85 is now old enough to be discounted to the same price. The G85 fares a little better in multitasking and has an arguably better display, but the G55 wins out on battery, speakers, and overall looks. It’s miles ahead of the competition if discounts aren’t taken into account, however. For most, the Moto G55 is the better bargain. It’s one of the best cheap phones around. It’s miles ahead of the TCL 40R 5G. If we’re to account for hot after-market deals, though, the value proposition of something like Nothing CMF Phone 1 can be hard to ignore.

Motorola has managed to deliver on its promise of delivering a decent Motorola Moto G55 smartphone that is attractive to gamers. Due to its great chipset, most games run flawlessly and even graphically demanding apps run decently. It also has a great design with premium leather materials. The display and the camera performance are also equally impressive. On top of all that, you will get a fantastic battery that charges pretty quickly. It also has 5G connectivity for when you need the best internet speeds. The list of pros keeps on coming. If the pricing was more competitive, it would have been a fantastic option in the budget mid-range category.

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.
