    One of the amazing phone in this range with 5G. The memory storage is good 256 and not much wasted in OS. Battery life is 2 days. I liked the moto gesture.. also the picture quality is pretty good. One good thing, the phone comes with bare minimum nonsense apps, saves time figuring out how to get rid of them

    The Moto G 5G 2022 is hands down the best phone you can get for $200. It blows away the Moto G Pure, G Play, G power, etc. It's got the same processor as the new Samsung A14 5G except it's way better. Screen is IPS, 90hz, has the Moto peak display so you can see notification stuff turning your screen on, more memory. Overall great phone.

    I got this as a stand by phone, and in that task (and general use really), the battery really shines, this thing can stand by for days and days. The phone is also very snappy, courtesy of the fast UFS type of storage, not eMMC. The faster refresh display also adds to the "smoothness" of the phone. For the price, it is hard to beat, the screen is well above average for the class, camera is usable for sure, but where it falls short (for me), is the software, I am coming form mostly Pixel and Samsung phones and Moto's style of skin takes a bit to get used to, if you can learn it, then I see very few other options in it's price that can be beat (when it is only on sale, which I got it for $199).

    For a quick phone to get, its pretty good. Not the latest processor, but not a slouch either. Very generous storage for the price. Camera actuall does a good job for a quick point and shoot. The Macro works pretty good too. Front facing does great outdoors, thats it. The display is fantactic. Very readable on a sunny day outside

    5G and G Stylus Comparison

    Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The Moto 5G is a perfectly serviceable phone, it can talk, text, and send pictures, however I feel it falls short to it's Counterpart, The Moto G Stylus, The 5G has a 50 MP camera to the Stylus's 48, however the larger screen offsets this as images seem more pixelated on the 5G. The 5G's Battery Life is fairly similar to the Stylus, even after having owned the Stylus for 3 years. The 5G makes some noticeable changes for it's user interface, some of these changes are annoying for example, the battery saver mode is on the second page when you swipe down for the setting page. While having battery saver mode on, the 5G ran significantly smoother than the Stylus. The 5G made some small optimizations in performance in exchange for losing certain quality of life changes in comparison to the Stylus. The 5G is a perfectly average side-grade to the Stylus.

    For the past four years I've used a Moto G Stylus. When I accidentally broke the screen, I decided to get a new version of the Moto G. This model has no stylus, which is not something I miss. The camera is great getting photos, but I also use editing a lot, which this phone handles well. I has a lot of built-in features I like and some default settings I needed to change (like keeping Backtalk from activating by accident!).
