Motorola Moto G85 5G Review: Still The Budget King

#motorola #motog85 #motog855g #android #hellomoto
The Motorola Moto G85 5G is the successor to one of my favourite phones of last year, the Motorola Moto G84. Can it match up to the pedigree of its predecessor? There was only one way to find out...

Update Note: In the video I mistakenly list the Moto G85 5G as having 12GB RAM/256GB storage; while that may be true for some international models, the Australian variant is 8GB RAM/128GB storage -- entirely my fault

Careful with the price of this. In Italy it was 349€ but after couple of months you can find brand new for 189€

[clairemacfarlane]

thank you for review, Motorola Moto G85 is supporting LDAC audio codec?

[MrJuan_Vzla]

Which phone do you recommend? I'm just looking for one for the basics: photos, videos, browsing the internet, and social media, but with a good useful life.

The Moto G85 caught my eye, but the OS updates are kind of disappointing.

oh dear that`s really annoying when the headphone jack socket is gone I mean I might/do have a pair of expensive headphones and I might wanna use them whilst watching TV episodes/movies but I can`t and now I`m actually considering not buying this at all, sheesh

I love and miss curved screens on flagship phones

[turbofan]

Is it compatible with Telstra's version of VoLTE ?

[vanilla-gorilla-]

If you pay $400 for a fucking phone you should have a good damn camera

[pauljenkinson]

Could I ask who supplied your review device? All the retailers in Perth seem to be selling an 8gb/128gb lite version of the G85 - I'd like the full fat version

Appreciate the vid 👍Mine arrived today 😁
I got the plastic back grey one for $319 total.Coulnt knock that back.
In 'as' new condition 😁😊
Still in process of setting some things up etc.
With regards to OS updates Ive read its 2 updates, as in up to android 16? Wouldnt be region specific would it? Surely not.
Btw: Whats the name of that pinball game you always show? 😊

is it a good for an upgrade from Moto G22?

[tomolarney]

I have a Motorola g54 5g what have a update to Android 15 later this year but should have not had an Android 15 update

[SmartHomeHASHTAGS]

You said that the RAM and Storage is still the same 12/256 (as G84 5G), but JB, Good Guys and Motorola AU all say 8/128

I mainly look at 1. RAM 2. Storage 3. Charger included 4. Case included...RAM and Storage went backwards on this model from the previous. It will be a pass this year.

[Rated-R-]

Is it coming out in the US, or is it just for AUS?

[yatharthsingh]

It lacks 3.5 mm jack which is big disappointment
