The moto g85 5G: The Lifestyle Smartphone

For many of us, a smartphone is much more than the device itself – it’s a statement of our character, and an insight into our personality. The moto g85 5G does exactly this by being what we would call “the lifestyle smartphone”. We’ve pushed boundaries and enhanced technology; we’ve refined design and put sophistication and style alongside product quality.

Let’s take a look at some of the features to enjoy on the moto g85 5G, and see why this is your handset for 2025.

Endless edge design and premium durability

The moto g85 5G is the first of our loved moto g series to feature an endless edge design. With a curved display and rear inlay, there is a seamless blend to the phone’s outer edges, providing comfort in your hand and a stylish overall look. With Corning Gorilla Glass 5 covering the screen, there is a touch of premium durability fused with design perfection.

Slim, lightweight yet robust, this is just the start of your moto g85 5G journey.

What is the camera like on the moto g85 5G?

The moto g85 5G elevates your holiday snaps, social media uploads and date night memories to a whole new level. The 50 MP main camera has Quad Pixel technology and a Sony LYTIA 600 sensor. This ensures sharp, crisp and vibrant images regardless of where and when you take them. For action shots, the Optical Image Stabilisation feature removes the blur, even if the shot is bumpy.

We know that camera capabilities are one of the core features sought in a mobile phone, so we’ve added as much as possible into the g85. The 8 MP ultrawide lens allows you to capture expansive scenes, and the 32 MP front camera ups your selfie game to new levels. With Quad Pixel technology built-in, the perfect profile picture is just one click away.

Is the moto g85 5G good for gaming?

Mobile gaming is booming business in the UK currently. Since 2014, mobile gaming has overtaken games consoles as the most popular device for gaming. 2023 alone saw 34% of gamers stating that their smartphone was their primary method for game play.

As a result, you will need a mobile phone capable of handling all solo or online games with friends. This requires storage and speed, and the moto g85 5G provides both. With a Snapdragon 6s gen 3 Processor, you will benefit from smooth, speedy gaming performance. Add in the 12G B of RAM and 256 GB of storage and you can download as many apps, games and files you need without fear of limiting the phone’s capabilities. If you do need more space, you can expand the device storage to up to 1 TB.

With a RAM boost feature built in, speed is kept at an optimal level, allowing you to enjoy lag-free gaming and crystal-clear video chats.

Is the battery life of the moto g85 5G any good?

Alongside a good camera, battery life is a key feature in deciding on what mobile phone you should buy. The moto g85 5G comes with a long-lasting 5000 mAh battery, and during testing, we saw users getting 34 hours’ worth of battery coverage. If you’ve almost used up your handset’s power but need to make one more call or complete one more game level, the TurboPower 30 W charging technology provides hours’ worth of power with just minutes of charging.

These are just some of the features we love about the moto g85 5G, but there are plenty more. Take a deeper look at the moto g85 5G and discover the variety of colours, the robust security features and incredible sound quality we’ve packed into the handset.
