Editorial report

Motorola Moto G 5G technical sheet

The Moto G 5G suits buyers after a 5G phone with a smooth display and substantial battery capacity, provided they can accept performance below average among phones launched around the same time. This configuration has 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage; the phone is also sold with 6 GB / 128 GB. Storage is expandable.

Its 6.7-inch IPS LCD display runs at 120 Hz, a rate better than most phones of its time, and its 393 ppi density is above average. The 5,000 mAh battery holds more charge than most, while 20 W charging is slightly above average. At 212 g, though, the phone is heavier than most phones launched around then.

Connectivity is better than most: the phone supports 5G, NFC, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.1 and dual SIM. The 48 MP main camera has an f/1.7 aperture, among the brightest of its time, alongside ultrawide and macro cameras. Video recording reaches 4K at 30 fps. Android 10 and no direct OS updates make for an older software base, though Google services are included.

Overall, the Moto G 5G is above average, combining a fast display, ample battery capacity and strong connectivity; performance and weight are its clearest compromises. Its NeoScore is 5.2. It makes most sense for buyers who put 5G and screen smoothness ahead of light weight and processing performance.
