Moto G 5G | 2022 | 2-Day Battery | Unlocked | Made for US by Motorola | 6/256GB | 50 MP Camera | Moonlight Gray
400 motto g5g
includes a lot of great features chief among them a huge amount of storage
space for the price but that's as long as you can deal with a lot of other
features. That it doesn't have let me explain the motto g5g includes some key
features that might fulfill and even surpass your expectations for a 400 phone.
it has 256 gigs of space which is practically unheard of in this price range by
comparison to last year's pixel 5a with 5g and this year's.
galaxy a53 5g both ship
with 128 gigs of space and cost slightly more at 450. It’s still a good value
but half what Motorola is offering if somehow that's not enough storage you can
even throw in a micro SD card to add even more of it. Also includes six gigs of
ram which matches Samsung’s galaxy a53 the phone's 6.5-inch screen allows you to
set a 90hz refresh rate which is plenty smooth for scrolling through websites
and apps and the phone's 5000 milliamp-hour battery should last you an entire
day possibly two depending on your usage. I racked up five hours of screen time
in one of my days of testing, where I had the phone streaming YouTube taking
video calls playing games and reading articles and I still had roughly 30
percent of battery left.
after that, there's a
headphone jack too which is important for audio flexibility lately. it seems
like every time I report that a phone in this price range still has the
headphone jack another one seems to take it away like the upcoming 449 pixel 6a.
the motto g5g is also one of the cheaper phones to ship with android 12 and
with that. you'll get new features like customizable menus the phone also includes
Motorola’s custom gestures like the chopping motion for turning on the flashlight
and a twist motion for quickly accessing the camera 5g support. this phone
also includes sub 6 and c band but there's no support for millimeter wave
that's pretty common in this price range and frankly, millimeter wave is only
available in very specific areas like sports stadiums.
Several of my
colleagues have explainers on CNET about
the different flavors of 5g. if you're interested in that all of these features
could very well be everything you need in a phone and in some cases like the
huge amount of storage be even more than you need but there are caveats and
they start with the camera the moto g5 g includes the same 50-megapixel camera
as the 500 motto g stylus 5g but lacks optical image stabilization.
the motto g 5g also
comes with a lower resolution 2-megapixel macro camera and 2-megapixel depth
sensor that helps with other camera modes like portrait mode there's also a 13-megapixel selfie camera. I took the phone on a ferry ride in New York south
street seaport and my photos look fine but they are a clear step down in terms of
image quality from the photos taken with the stylus 5g considering the main
camera on each phone is otherwise the same. i was a little bit surprised by the
differences I wish my motto g 5g photos just had better detail Motorola does
include several software enhancements in its camera app including a night mode which
is very nice to see in a 400 phone video quality is not good.
This is the same
criticism that I had on the motto g stylus 5g while I was shooting video on top
of a windy New York City ferry audio sounded washed out and the video quality
only captured some details of the water or the buildings. it's good enough to
share in a group chat but I consider finding a separate video camera if I were
taping an event the phone also lacks an NFC chip and considering how
contactless payments are now being taken everywhere from convenience stores to
transit systems. I feel like a 400 phone should include that feature it's becoming more of a necessity
and it's worth pointing out in case it's something you need many phones 400 or
less.
also don't include NFC
but it's time for that feature to hit those price ranges. I'm not big on the
phone's main speaker either music and video sounded a bit tin like but that's
easily alleviated using headphones over Bluetooth or wire the phone also ships
with a mediate processor and I actually had no issues with lag or speed. when
using it across apps and games while the phone is technically less powerful
than the motto g stylus 5g's QUALCOMM chip its performance is likely aided by its six gigs of
memory. the moto g5g will only get one major OS software update to android 13
and three years of security updates which means after about three years. you'll
likely want to move on to a different phone when Motorola stops providing
support against security vulnerabilities for its price that might be totally
okay for you but if you're hoping to hold onto this phone for longer you should
keep that in mind the moto g5g could be a great pick for 400, especially if
storage is your primary concern a phone with 256 gigs of space for 400 is a
fantastic value plus it runs well and the screen's 90-hertz refresh rate is a
nice bonus on top of that. Motorola told us that the phone we discounted even
further to 350 for a limited time so you might even find it for less depending
on when you get it but we now know that google's pixel 6a is arriving this July
at 449 as well looking much like google's pixel 6 and including its in-house
tensor chip.
if you're shopping
with 400 as your ceiling the moto g 5g could be a good option for you but if
you're shopping within the 400 to 500 range and you aren't in need of an
android phone right now it'll be best to wait until July at which point we'll
have a better idea of what's available this year in that price range for more
about the moto g5g check out my review on CNET or check out the links in the
description and so far in the 405 range we now have this moto g5g the Samsung
galaxy a53 and the moto g stylus.
