The editors didn't like
The G5 Plus performs so much better (but it's £80 extra)
Can be slow to load and some stutter in playback
No NFC like G5 Plus model (applicable for UK region)
Metal doesn't really look/feel like metal
Same performance as Moto G4
Camera not great in low light
STILL no NFC
The dim screen can be difficult to read under bright lights and you'll need to be careful if you want to get a whole day out of the battery

Brilliant value, Sharp screen for the cash, General performance is nippy
Not as metallic as it initially seems, Barely any camera progress
As has largely been the case since the G-series' inception, the Moto G5 seems to be a stellar budget mobile. It's not doing much new, granted, but it's been tweaked in plenty of the right places over the G4 to make it feel like a phone that's worth more...

Abstract: Moto G5 fifth generation smartphone of the Motorola is equipped with a 5-inch screen and a design entirely designed in metals. And while you enjoy a premium design, we cannot say that it is an expensive device. The Moto G5 will be available, at most, for...

As affordable phones go, none can better than Moto G5 from what we've seen of it. That it's an improved device compared to the earlier G4 - both in terms of spec and style - is quite an achievement given that the price point remains a very reasonable £169...
Abstract: Motorola's Moto G has, for the last four years, been one of the best mid-range phones on the market. Every iteration has achieved that tricky balance of remaining affordable, yet also durable, powerful and well-equipped enough to satisfy your above-averag...

Improved build quality. Similar performance to the Moto G4, but at a lower price point. Decent battery life and display. Includes a fingerprint sensor for the first time. Runs stock Android 7.0

Metal body design, One button nav, Removable battery, Decent image quality, microSD card support, Decent performance, Moto Gestures, Fairly priced
Be nice to have dual speakers, Battery may not get you through the day depending on activities
If you're looking for a smartphone with more than the basic features to get you through the day with decent performance and isn't going to break the bank, Motorola has proved once again why the Moto G series is one to strongly consider.*We were sent a dem...
All said and done, the latest entry in the G-series is good but leaves a lot to be desired. This feels like a half-thought-out G5 Plus and, frankly, it's a little confusing. On its own, the Moto G5 is an interesting proposal. It tries to be a lot for a lo...
high quality sturdy metal case, user replaceable battery, dual-sim version available, current version of Android 7, fast WiFi, decent call quality, fingerprint reader, very bright high-contrast display, decent speaker, moderate power consumption
display suffers from slight blue tint, security patches not up to date, gets pretty warm, bad camera performance in low-light conditions, inaccurate color reproduction in photos
Very affordable price point, Mostly smooth performance, Cool and useful Moto gestures, Clean Android 7.0 Nougat software with nice widgets, Good battery life
Chubby, outdated design, Storage space out of the box is severely reduced
The Moto G5 is not officially sold in the United States. You do get the Moto G5 Plus in the U.S. and that one is a great phone. So where does the Moto G5 fit in the big picture?With an official price starting from around €200 in Europe, the Moto G5 is con...
