In our experience the best way to get a cheap phone is to buy it SIM-free then grab a great-value SIM-only deal. You won't be paying £50-odd per month for a phone for the next two years, and you can swap it for a newer model whenever you fancy it. All t...

Motorola has launched a new version of the G5, just a few months after launching it earlier this year. Here we highlight the differences between the phones, as well as the Plus versions, so you can decide which phone should be your next upgrade. The mai...
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...

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 Moto G series is where Moto packs as much value as it can to produce a mass-market — $150-$499 range — phone. On the whole the G5 and G5 Plus succeed.The problem is that these may well be two entirely different phones:This review is side-by-side to sh...
