In the middle of this year’s holidays, I had the opportunity to test the Motorola Moto G 5G Plus smartphone, which I remember well for the presence of solutions such as NFC, a traditional headphone jack, a sensitive and fast fingerprint reader, as well as a screen with well-reproduced colors. Today, however, the Moto G 5G model is making its debut, which is slightly different from the previously mentioned device. Whether he is more interesting than him, tests will show. Today I would like to take a closer look at the technical specifications of the phone and the most important features determining its real usability. I will just mention that on the occasion of the premiere of Motorola Moto G 5G, the Moto G9 Power model also debuted, to which I will devote a separate entry.

Meet Motorola Moto G 5G, a new smartphone from the manufacturer that is the next step to popularize the mobile network in the 5G standard. Let’s check what exactly the manufacturer has prepared for customers.

In terms of visuals, Moto G 5G does not differ much from Moto G 5G Plus models and the most important difference here will be the screen notch which has been transferred from the side edge to the center of the top panel. This time it is a single camera module, not a double as in the case of its predecessor. Here we get 16 Mpix unit with f / 2.2 light with Quad Pixel function. This means that photos are processed to a resolution of 4 Mpix. We also find here a number of modes such as: Portrait, Beautify, Night. The image is displayed on a 6.7-inch LTPS Max Vision screen with a resolution of 2400 x 1080.

Qualcomm Snapdragon 750 G, 4 or 6 GB is responsible for performance RAM and 64 or 128 GB of RAM. The latter can be expanded by up to 1 TB using microSD cards. The battery with a capacity of 5000 mAh, according to the manufacturer, will provide up to 2 days of work on a single charge, but let’s wait for the test results. Speaking of charging, here we find Turbo Power technology for power 16 W. In theory 12 – a minute charge should allow even 10 operating hours of the equipment. As in the case of the predecessor with the note Plus in the name, we find here USB-C (unfortunately only USB 2.0), an FM radio, a single speaker and solutions such as Bluetooth 5.1, WiFi ac and NFC for contactless payments.

Construction with dimensions 166, 1x 76, 1 x 9.9 mm weighing 212 grams, made of plastic, is splash-proof, which is confirmed by the IP standard 52. There is a triple camera system on the backs, consisting of 48 Mpix main unit with f / 1.7 light, 8 Mpix ultra wide angle with f / 2.2 aperture and 2 Mpix macro camera. It is worth mentioning that we also get a new camera application (known, for example, for Motorola razr 5G), which is much more convenient than the previous version. Motorola Moto G 5G smartphone running Android 04 with the effort My UX will cost in Poland 1299 PLN for the basic variant.
