Overview

The Moto G5 update to the impressive ‘G’ range of products from Motorola offers many new great features. The aluminium finish dramatically improves the look, and feel of the phone.

In addition, the inclusion of the latest camera technology and an inbuilt fingerprint sensor keeps it current and relevant.

Design

The new look of the Moto G5 with its metallic finish is a departure from previous models. It is constructed of high-grade aluminium, which has been diamond-cut to perfection and is very comfortable to use.

This change to a metallic finish will also increase the robustness of the phone casing. So not only will your phone look great, it should also be stronger.

Cameras

The rear 13MP camera is able to take outstanding photos, in part due to the inclusion of Phase Detection Auto Focus. This technology dramatically speeds up the focusing time of the camera, ensuring you never miss an important moment again.

Like all good phone cameras, you can just point and shoot to capture your photos. But if you want a little bit more control you can use the professional mode. Using this you can gain manual control over almost every camera setting including white balance and exposure times.

There are also burst and panorama modes enabling you to capture interesting looks and bringing variety to your photos.

Auto HDR also makes it easy to take photos in challenging light conditions.

The 5MP front-facing camera has a wide-angle lens. This makes it possible to fit everyone into your photos, so no one is left out in a selfie. Like the rear camera, there is a professional mode enabling you to fine-tune the look of your photos. Alternatively, you can use the beautification mode to give yourself a different look.

Performance

With its fast 1.4GHz Qualcomm® Snapdragon 430 octa-core processor, the Moto G5 provides a smooth experience when navigating menus. It also ensures you are able to use all the latest apps, and the integrated Adreno 505 gives gamers the play time they crave.

The 5-inch display offers a Full HD 1920 x 1080 resolution, with the result that you can enjoy videos and become fully immersed. It also is sure to make photos look amazing when you want to show off your masterpieces.

Battery

We all want our phones to work longer between charging, and Lenovo has understood this by including a high-capacity 2800 mAh battery. This will mean that you can get a full day of usage without having to charge again.

A 10W rapid charger is included in the box. This ensures that when you do need to recharge your phone it can be done quickly. In fact, you can charge your phone in a fraction of the time it used to take, measuring the charge time in minutes rather than hours.

Experience

It is easy to stay in the loop with the Moto G5. A quick preview of notifications and updates can be shown on your display without the need to unlock your phone, keeping you up-to-date with everything that is happening.

Moto Actions make it simple to interact with your phone. Easy to use gestures are available to make everyday interactions more convenient. This can be a twist of your wrist to open the camera, or chopping twice to activate your flashlight.

Security

It is important to make the information secure on your phone, as you don’t want strangers just picking up your phone and finding out your personal details. For some time we have all been securing our phones with passwords or gestures. But this can sometimes make it slow to unlock your phone.

A fingerprint sensor has been added to the Moto G5. This gives you the ability to be secure without compromising the accessibility of your phone.
