The Motorola Moto G85 5G is a new budget-friendly phone launched in July 2024. Here’s a summary of the key aspects based on reviews:
Pros:
Display: A large 6.67-inch pOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate for smooth scrolling and a 1600 nits peak brightness for good outdoor visibility.
Battery: A large 5000mAh battery with support for 33W fast charging, which should provide good battery life.
Camera: A decent dual rear camera system with a 50MP main sensor (with OIS) and an 8MP ultrawide sensor. The 32MP front-facing camera is also a plus for selfie lovers.
Performance: The Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 processor with up to 12GB of RAM should be able to handle most everyday tasks without issues, though high-end gaming might be a challenge.
Storage: Up to 256GB of storage, expandable with a microSD card for even more space.
Software: Stock Android 14, which means you get a clean and bloatware-free software experience.
Cons:
Processor: The Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 processor might not be the most powerful, especially for demanding users.
Plastic Build: While the back has a vegan leather finish, the phone itself is made of plastic, which feels less premium than glass-backed phones.
Limited 5G Bands: It may not support all the 5G bands depending on your carrier.
Overall:
The Moto G85 5G is a good option for users looking for a large display, long battery life, and a decent camera system at an affordable price. However, if you’re a power user who needs the latest and fastest processor, you might want to consider other options.
Here are some additional things to consider before you buy:
Price: The Moto G85 5G starts at ₹16,999 for the 8GB RAM/128GB storage variant, making it a good value proposition.
Alternatives: Depending on your priorities, you might also consider phones like the Poco X4 GT or the Realme 9 Pro+ which offer similar features in a similar price range.
