The $300 Moto G Power 5G for instance doubles your available storage space to 256GB, which is the cheapest phone I'm currently aware of offering that much internal space. If you can swing it, $300 phones offer a lot of perks that are worth the upcharge. When I compare the Moto G 5G against phones that are just $50 more, I realize how much I'm sacrificing. It's typical for this price range, and is a similar issue across all of the Moto G phones that I've tested this year. But the opposite was true when I took the phone to a Kim Petras performance thrown by Motorola, where my photos on the crowded indoor dance floor came out blurry, noisy and lacked a lot of detail. I took the phone on a sunny Central Park picnic and got a lot of vibrant photos that I'm super happy with. Images come out nice in bright outdoor areas but struggle with getting detail in low-light environments. The 5G connectivity is noticeably fast compared with 4G-only phones like the Stylus, but the Moto G 5G's slower Snapdragon 480 Plus processor coupled with 4GB of RAM aren't quite enough to power resource-heavy multitasking that truly take advantage of 5G speeds.Įven though the Moto G 5G's cameras are similar those on other Moto G phones, photos are hit or miss.
