Moto E5: Full, in-depth, review

While the "high-end" Moto Z series devices are definitely interesting. They haven't always been easy to recommend. By contrast, Motorola’s budget and mid-tier devices have become a consistent strong point within the brand's portfolio. Each year, entries in the mainline G-series receives a strong-reception. As does the more-affordable E-series.

Though there’s plenty to like about the Moto E5 on its own merits, it falls short when stacked up against last year’s E4.

Great price; Solid battery life;

Uneven performance; Average camera;

Moto E5 review

We wouldn't normally recommend a phone significantly under £150 unless you're really strapped for cash, but the Moto E5 is an exception to the rule. This is an exceptional phone for the price, offering a surprising set of specs along with an attractive and well-built design giving the impression of a much more expensive handset. It's not flawless and there are sacrifices but all are reasonable.
