“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.”

“The Moto G 5G from Motorola is an interesting mid-range phone with one flaw - the display. The latter is by no means bad, but the LTPS panel of the Moto G 5G doesn't quite live up to what prospective buyers might expect from a 300-Euro (~$365) smartphone nowadays. The LC display is a bit low in contrast, uses PWM for brightness control, and has a native refresh rate of only 60 Hz coupled with the typical LCD weaknesses (shadows, screen bleeding, ...). Display fans will definitely find better panels in this price range.”

“Motorola's Moto G 5G is one of the cheapest 5G phones you can buy in the U.S., and it's the cheapest Qualcomm Snapdragon 750G-powered mid-range phone in India, making it a good value.”

“The screen lacks a higher refresh rate but the HDR10-enabled panel is quite good for the price and offers an immersive viewing experience. The big 5,000mAh battery easily lasts a day and the stock Android UI makes the Moto G 5G a great option for stock Android fans looking for a clutter-free software user-experience. The 5G connectivity support makes the deal even more attractive for consumers willing to keep a device for the next two to three years.”
