Review of Motorola's Moto G 5G Plus smartphone, an impressively cheap 5G handset boasting a 90Hz screen, stock Android, PubG worthy performance and a quad-lens camera. I've been using the Moto G 5G Plus as my full-time phone for a week and here's what I think of the gaming smarts, battery life and photo/video capture - as well as the everyday experience.

For just £300 in the UK, this Motorola mobile is definitely one of the best value budget Androids of 2020. Strong competition comes from the Realme X50 5G and newcomers like the OnePlus Nord, yet the Moto G 5G Plus can cope with all-day gaming, media streaming and anything else you throw at it. The IPS display is crisp and colourful, while Motorola hasn't ignored the audio side either.

And sure, the quad lens rear camera adds pointless stuff like a macro lens but the AI smarts are worth a look and I liked my everyday photos. Video quality is also good.

You can blaze through Call of Duty and PubG no problem, although PubG does top off at High frame rate and HD detail levels. Likewise, the HDR10 support doesn't extend to Netflix.

Regardless, I'd recommend the Moto G 5G Plus to anyone after a stock Android experience with solid specs at £300. Check out my best budget phones of 2020 round-ups for more reviews.
