Motorola Moto G5

Motorola's Moto G line of budget handsets has been one of the company's biggest success stories of recent years, offering a really well specced budget handset at a sub-£200 price.

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.

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).

There's a lot I like about the Moto G5, and it's not just the extremely low price. The G5 will set you back only £170 in the UK. It won't be heading to the US and Australian prices are yet to be confirmed, but its UK price converts to roughly $220 and AU$ 289.

Motorola Moto G5 review: A rock-bottom bargain for your everyday essentials

The Moto G5 is the phone to get if you want an everyday phone for as little possible, but if you want higher-end features like NFC then go for the G5 Plus. There's a lot I like about the Moto G5, and it's not just the extremely low price.

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.

Poor Battery Performance!!!

Battery performance is not good..it is draining very fast.my suggestion is not to buy this Phone if you are expecting good Battery backup. Camera performance is also not that much good.
