Moto G85 5G
Motorola's budget curveball: a curved 120Hz pOLED and a vegan-suede back on a $299 phone, weighing just 171g. Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 is the price you pay - it is smooth in daily use and out of its depth in games.
Pros
- Curved 120Hz pOLED is unheard of at $299
- Light 171g body with a vegan-suede finish
- 5000mAh battery comfortably lasts a day and a half
- Keeps the 3.5mm headphone jack and microSD expansion
Cons
- Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 is slow for gaming
- Only two OS upgrades
- IP52 splash resistance and a plastic frame
- Video capped at 1080p
Below average
