MotorolaMoto g85 5G (6.67'' pOLED display, water repelent design, 50MP AI camera, 32MP, 120Hz, 30W, Dolby Atmos, 128/256 GB, Snapdragon 6s Gen 3, 5000mAh, dual SIM), Urban Grey

Bought this to replace a Xiaomi 11T Pro which was almost three times the price new. OK, it's more than a couple of years down the line from when I bought my last phone, but this is superior in every way.- Excellent battery life. It hasn't actually died on me since I bought it.- Great camera for everyday use, including a decent selfie camera that automatically flips photos the right way around - a nice touch- Slick, quick, and easy to use- Lots of storage capacity and capable of running many apps at once- Lovely display, with nice curved edges giving it a more premium feelThe only drawback has been mentioned in another review - it is not a true dual-SIM phone as there's only one SIM slot, so you have to rely on an eSIM for the second SIM, which is no good if your provider doesn't support it (neither Smarty nor Lebara, the two networks I use, do).All in all, this is a great phone and I don't see the need to spend loads more. It's great value and it seems durable enough that I won't need a new device for some time now.

I'm a real person that bought this phone. So far so good it was exactly as described. I bought the Moto g85 in grey. It has 12g of ram, 256gb of storage and comes with Android 14 out of the box (as of May 2024). Could the battery life be better- yes. I turned on battery protection so it only charges to 80% so that might be the reason why, it still lasts me a full day until I charge it when I go to bed so this is not an issue for me (I don't play mobile games). The g85 does not appear to be better than previous gens in terms of battery life though. The opening of apps is fast, the screen is bright and of good quality (even on May 1st when I am writing this review when it was very sunny and 26C outside I could still read the screen easily). Google pay works well, Bluetooth and wifi at 5ghz is also very good. Delivery was quick by the seller and the phone was well packaged and clearly new as it had the Motorola holographic sticker sealing the box (it was also obviously a new phone from the packaging). Would I recommend the Moto g85 from this seller, not yet as I have only had it a week but after 6 months if it performs as it does now out of the box -- absolutely. I will update my review in 6 months.

3.5 stars. It's a great phone but all my GIFs that I transferred over are playing slower and in some pics the people are red skinned even after changing the colour lighting options. Great UI. Works well as far as I've seen. Battery is going a little quicker than my old phone. Charge speed is high average. Definitely an improvement from the ol' T180 25 years ago

Early days but everything seams to be going well. A nice phone. I just need to get used to taking close up photos but thats me at fault not the phone. Distance photos are beautiful and clear. Starts up very quick and charges a little slow but not too bad. lightweight and beautiful edges on it.

Up until now, 31st March 2025 I have been using a Motorola G62 5G which was getting slower and slower and slower. My wife had the same phone with the same problems so mine was not an isolated case. In the end I couldn't stand it anymore and decided to buy this Moto G85 5g. I'm not going to talk about the pros and cons as you can read reviews anywhere. Save to say it has cured all problems that we had. When I take a picture now it appears directly in photos without delay. When I order something on Amazon, it doesn't give me a keyboard and remove it constantly. The camera is good, nice to hold, a good size and takes an SD card. One word of advice though, this camera is advertised as a duel sim phone. It's not in the pure sense. It takes a sim, an SD card and an eSim. One of my providers doesnt offer that service (Smarty), my other provider O2 does, but I had to make a special journey to an O2 shop to get it set up as it was impossible to do online. To be fair, they didn't charge for this service. So, bear this in mind if you have two Sim sards in your existing phone.All in all, the G85 is a great phone with three times as much RAM as the G62. I think this will do me for two to three years.I am a skilled electrical mechanical engineer by profession and was an on screen expert for BBC Watchdog and Rogue Traders for some years and subsequently sworn to honesty. I tend to research a product drilling down into the quality and value of the item before I buy. I am not paid for my reviews and have no personal gain from them. I have no difficulty recommending this item. What's not to like. Go buy!

have had this phone for just over 2 months and it stopped working wont boot past logo screen tried all recommended solutions nothing worked so have had to send the phone back amazon was told on the phone it would be back to me within 5 days 2 days later there is no progress report on repair and have received an email saying to allow 14 working days after speaking to customer services I had explained that I need the phone for work and having to borrow other peoples phones to contact them and it wasnt damaged it just stopped working so now have been forced to go and buy another phone as cant wait as I am unable to wait that long for a replacement

Nice phone, rubbish battery life. And you need an additional £20 charger to get the fast charging.I'm on holiday, and I need to carry a power bank hen I go out, or risk this phone running out of battery before I get back. I've never had a new phone with such poor battery life.I don't think I'll be buying another Motorola in the future.

An excellent phone for the money, if likee you enjoy taking photos you won't be disappointed it has all the features of phones three times the price,I'm not a photographer but even my efforts look good.the great feature I like is the overcharge protectionat 80% which seems to work as I rarely go below 60% in a day.Absolutely love this phone !
