‘Premium for All' is Lenovo's new motto for its G5 phones, the Moto G5 and Moto G5 Plus, which aim to offer the build quality and feel of a flagship device at decidedly non-flagship prices. That's especially true of the G5, which offers a metal body, rap...

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...

The Moto G has long been the hero of affordable phones. In 2017, Motorola - now owned by Lenovo - is stepping things up a notch in the fifth-generation G model, the G5, without causing a greater dent in your wallet. Yep, not only is the G5 priced at the s...

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...

The Moto G5 was in many ways a step backwards. At £170 it just didn't compare favourably to its rivals – especially as specs-wise, it was pretty similar to last year's handset. But at £135 for the dual-SIM 3GB model. Yeah, that's worth a look.For Amazon's...
Surprisingly, as has been the case with recent flagship smartphone upgrades, the price of the Moto G5 isn't at issue here. It's the same as the Moto G4 when it launched and in 2017 I think £170 for the G5 is very tempting indeed.What concerns me is that...

Update: So we didn't think too much of the Moto G5 when we reviewed it earlier this year. At £170, it just wasn't good value compared to its rivals – and in fact it was just a prettier version of the Moto G4. However, on Prime Day, it's 25% off until 11...

The upgrades might appeal to some, but the big price hike won't. The G5s is better built and battery capacity returns to what it was in the Moto G4, but the new unibody design means the battery is no longer removable. Processing power remains the same, so...
