60% Motorola One 5G Ace review: $400 of wasted potential
Source: Android Central Archive.org version
The Motorola One 5G Ace stands out as one of the cheapest 5G phones you can buy in 2021, but unfortunately, that's not enough to overlook the rest of its shortcomings. Performance and battery life are excellent at this price, but thanks to middling cameras, a cheap design, and an unacceptable level of software support, the phone as a whole comes with plenty of baggage. Combine that with the fact that you can get better overall phones for less money, and the One 5G Ace ends up being difficult to recommend unless you really need 5G at this price (which you don't).

The Motorola One 5G is a good all-rounder with a better chipset, battery life and screen quality than many other devices at its price point. It’s also got a bigger screen than its siblings. The fact that it’s also 5G-compatible makes it an even more tempting offer, as it’s the cheapest 5G phone at launch, although as with all Moto phones it has its fair share of annoying quirks. It’s good, especially as a cheap 5G handset, but not game-changing.

70% Motorola One 5G review: 5G on a budget
Source: Neowin Archive.org version
I feel like I should tell you to skip this one, but I don't know. If you like Motorola phones and you want sub6 5G for under $500, this could be for you. But at the same time, you could just wait for the Edge to be $499 again. Also, Motorola's lineup is just so convoluted and confusing. It gets tougher and tougher to tell you which one to get.

The Motorola One 5G offers decent performance and 5G connectivity for a lower price compared to other 5G phones. But compromises in practically every other category make it one of the less-compelling mid-range 5G phones.

60% Motorola One 5G review: An emotional roller coaster of phone features
Source: CNet Archive.org version
Motorola has a history of releasing excellent budget phones, like the Moto G Stylus and G Power. And when the phone-maker launched its first 5G phone, the Moto Z3 in 2018, it was a bargain at the time, despite needing an additional 5G Moto Mod accessory to connect to the next-gen network. It makes sense, then, that for the new $445 Motorola One 5G the company combined both its affordable phone wisdom and 5G connectivity smarts -- all without the need of an accessory -- to prove finally that 5G phones don't need to be expensive in 2020. (Google also recently announced two new 5G phones, both more expensive than the Motorola One 5G: The Pixel 5 and the Pixel 4A 5G.)

Moto One 5G Review: Killer Battery Life, Lackluster Cameras
Source: Hot Hardware Archive.org version
For just $445, the Moto One 5G is a good phone with solid specs. Between the 90Hz 21:9 screen, Snapdragon 765, fantastic battery life, headphone jack, and polished user experience, it cranks the value dial up to eleven. The One 5G doesn’t exist in a vacuum, though. There are other sub-$500 handsets with 5G out there, and more on the way.

70% Motorola One 5G
Source: PC Mag Archive.org version
The Motorola One 5G offers solid performance, long battery life, a lovely display, and 5G for about $150 less than the Samsung Galaxy A71 5G. That said, call quality and network performance on AT&T were poor in testing, and AT&T has disabled the option to turn off 5G even when 4G can potentially provide a vastly better experience. That makes it tough the recommend, especially when the Pixel 4a offers a better experience nearly all around for $100 less. Of course, the Pixel 4a doesn't have 5G, but Google is planning to offer a 5G model in the near future for $499, which we think will be a better buy.

Motorola One 5G costs $445 and will have you saying 'iPhone SE who?'
Source: CNet Archive.org version
With affordable and feature-packed offerings like the Moto G Stylus, G Power and G Fast, it's clear that Motorola thrives in the budget end of the phone market. Now with the new Motorola One 5G though, the Chicago-based company finally figured out a way to combine its budget know-how with 5G connectivity -- without the use of an additional accessory or Motorola Mod à la Moto Z4 and Z3.

70% Motorola One 5G review: Awkward middle child
Source: Android Central Archive.org version
The Motorola One 5G is an interesting phone, sitting somewhere in between the Moto G and Motorola Edge lineups. Some of its specs are rather impressive, namely the 90Hz LCD display, massive 5,000 mAh battery, and little goodies like a headphone jack and expandable storage. Those aspects all work really well, but when you start piling on the various downsides — weak cameras, limited availability, and lacking update support — the Motorola One 5G becomes a tricky recommendation at its $445 price tag.

The Motorola G 5G Plus left us with good impressions back in July when it launched in Europe, and now it’s back in the States with a better name and not many differences. This is largely the same device with almost the same price tag, making it a solid choice for a snappy midranger with 5G support.
