Atypical user

I don't much use my phone for calls or texts and manage on a PAYG contract, topping up £5 about once every two months. However I use my phone a lot for reading the Times for which I have a subscription, as a SatNav using Co-Pilot and as a GPS for which I use Viewranger.

Moto G5 review

There’s plenty of competition in Android’s budget market, but the Moto G5 is one of the best. The build quality alone feels like it belongs on a much more expensive phone, while the fingerprint gesture controls genuinely improve the Android experience. The benchmarks and battery hold it back, but they're not unreasonable given the price. You'll find better specs in Chinese phones, but if you don't need a dual-SIM phone and you want the peace of mind of a proper UK warranty, it's a solid choice. But do check out the G5s as well if your budget can stretch a little.

We've been spoiled for choice with budget phones lately. In just the last week we've reviewed the Moto G5 Plus which we declared to be the best-value phone we've tested in ages. This was immediately followed by the even-cheaper Oppo A57 which arguably offered better value.
Pros:
  • Cheap
  • Well built
  • Good battery
Cons:
  • Average camera

No security patches are released

My phone is still on the January 2017 security patch and Moto/Lenovo are not releasing security patches, in the UK at least. Therefore I cannot recommend this to anyone. Otherwise it would get four/five stars.

No stars if i could

Phoned cut out/went dead for no apparent reason. Needed for work i had to return and have had to go out and by a replacement as i could not rely on this. Poorly made, suggest you stick to better quality alternative android (Sam sung a tune at this).
