“The Motorola Moto G05 offers everything you need for everyday use. Its design, fast fingerprint sensor, its main camera's decent quality, and its reasonable speaker sound are all positive surprises. You shouldn't expect too much performance and you'll have to live with occasional stutters and waiting times. What we find worse, however, is its lack of NFC, which means you can't make use of the popular Google Pay function. The phone's screen is sufficiently bright, its SoC isn't throttled under prolonged load, it doesn't heat up too much and its battery lasts long enough for a day's use in most cases. Overall, the Moto G05 is an attractive and recommendable budget phone if you can do without NFC.”

“The moto g05 isn't the snappiest phone around but at just $179 you get a big, bright display, a 50MP camera and a stylish looking phone that will function as an Android phone should.”

“While the price tag is nice, it’s hard to recommend the Motorola Moto G05 for anyone but pre-teens and seniors with minimal expectations when it comes to quality and performance. Even tech-savvy teenagers and not-so-senior seniors may end up frustrated with its limitations. That said, the Moto G05 mostly makes sacrifices in all the right places for those who are shopping on a very tight budget and don’t demand much of their phone.”
