Although it’s not among the best Motorola phones (competition in the Moto G Series is quite tough!), the Mogo G 5G (2023) is perfectly suitable for everyday use. It has a good build quality for a sub-$200 phone, a decent 6.5-inch HD screen, and a microSD card for storage expansion. True, the display gets nowhere as bright as on the best Android phones. Still, for that price, it should be good enough to satisfy the casual user.
Under the hood, you have a Snapdragon 480+ 5G chipset, providing a satisfactory experience. You can expect stutters when you push it too much, but it should work fine with day-to-day tasks. As for streaming, Motorola gives you Dolby Atmos-enhanced stereo speakers for an immersive viewing experience.
This bad boy isn’t as good as the best camera phones with its 48MP main camera sensor and a 2MP macro on the rear. On the front, you have an 8MP selfie camera. If you’re into smartphone photography, we suggest saving up for the Pixel 7a instead.
But if you don’t care much for the camera department or how well it handles games or multitasking, the Moto G 5G (2023) might prove ideal. Additionally, this puppy has a large 5,000mAh battery on deck, keeping the lights on for quite a while.
Undemanding and much cheaper than usual, this Motorola phone is great for casual users. If you’re looking for a new sub-$200 phone with good value for money, check this one out.
