The mid-range terminals that offer everything you might need from a smartphone are getting better and better. And a clear example of what we say is Moto G 5G Plus , a terminal that we have tested and about which we are going to comment on the performance it offers when using it as the main phone on a daily basis.
The truth is that the important components when it comes to managing the work of the operating system are quite consistent (if you want to know everything the device offers, this is achieved in the complete file of the Moto G 5G Plus). And, the truth is, there are some sections that are pleasantly surprising and that ensure that everything you want to do with the sapote is achieved. This is the essentials of the device:
- Qualcomm Snapdragon 765 eight-core processor and seven-nanometer manufacturing technology (the most powerful core uses Kryo 475 prime architecture).
- 6GB RAM
- 128 gig storage type UFS 2.1
- Connectivity: WiFi Dual Band; Bluetooth 5.1; NFC; USB type C
- Fingerprint reader on the side
- Android 10 operating system
We have deliberately stopped indicating that this terminal includes access to 5G networks. When testing this model in areas where this coverage exists, we have found a good performance that allows, for example, very fast downloads of both videos and data. It is true that the temperature rises a little more than desirable at times and that consumption also increases, but the operation is solvent and to be appreciated in a mid-range terminal.
Moto G 5G Plus operation
The truth is that, in the usual tasks, such as browsing the Internet or editing images with specific applications, the user experience is quite good. We did not find any delay in the executions and therefore there is a feeling of high fluidity . And this is something that is appreciated and that leads the user to be satisfied. It must be said that, on occasion when switching between the applications, we notice a small jump when one intervenes with video, it is not very noticeable, but it is present.
We leave below the results that we have obtained in the performance tests that we usually use on our site and that show that the behavior of the Moto G 5G Plus is solid, especially when actions are executed where all the cores are not at their maximum capacity.
The good behavior offered by the smartphone has a lot to do with the fact that Android 10 is included with hardly any modifications , so the hardware is squeezed very effectively and no additional resource consumption is added that is not necessary. Its own services are included, such as Moto Actions that allow quick task execution. In addition, it includes the so-called Power Touch (which is executed by pressing the power button twice) and which displays a contextual menu with options -which can be customized-.
Other things to know about performance
With games, the behavior is adequate with demanding titles, such as the Asphalt series, since the integrated Adreno 620 GPU allows it. If some titles, such as PUBG, are put to the maximum, there is a hundred suffering with moments with many complex three-dimensional creations (for example, with PUBG). But it is true that you can enjoy the recreational section without many difficulties … but you have to be very clear that the Moto G 5G Plus is not a “gaming” smartphone.
Finally, it should be noted that the behavior with WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity has convinced us, especially the first one that offers very stable transfer rates and that is ideal for everything that has to do with online use (such as, for example, enjoying YouTube content). In addition, the fingerprint reader on the side is life insurance, since we have verified that its operation is fast and effective , even with wet fingers. You have to get used to its use, but the truth is that you can not put many buts.
