The Motorola G85 XT2427-2, the Middle East version of this 5G smartphone, promises a compelling combination of features at a competitive price point. This review is based on several weeks of intensive testing, pushing the phone to its limits in various real-world scenarios. I’ve put its 50MP camera, Snapdragon 695 processor, and 5000mAh battery through their paces to give you an honest and comprehensive assessment.

The G85 boasts a sleek cobalt blue design, a vibrant 6.67-inch pOLED display with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, and a substantial 12GB of RAM, expandable to 24GB. The inclusion of the Anker Pyro speakers adds a welcome bonus to the multimedia experience. Other notable features include its dual SIM capability, in-display fingerprint sensor, and the impressive 50MP main camera with OIS.

Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 5G processor, the G85 handled day-to-day tasks with ease. Multitasking between apps felt smooth, and even demanding games ran surprisingly well, though occasional frame drops were noticeable during extended gaming sessions. The 12GB of RAM ensured that background apps remained responsive. The phone felt snappy and responsive throughout my testing period.

The 50MP main camera, equipped with Optical Image Stabilization, delivered impressive results in good lighting conditions. Images were sharp, detailed, and boasted vibrant colors. However, low-light performance was a bit underwhelming, with noticeable noise reduction in darker shots. The 32MP front-facing camera also performed admirably, producing selfies suitable for social media.

The 5000mAh battery consistently delivered all-day battery life even with moderate to heavy usage. The TurboPower™ 30 charging was a true lifesaver, providing a significant charge in a short amount of time. This is a definite strength of the device.

Pros:

• Excellent battery life
• Fast charging capabilities
• Smooth 120Hz display
• Impressive main camera in good light
• Ample RAM and storage
• Included Anker Pyro Speakers

Cons:

• Low-light camera performance could be improved
• Occasional frame drops during intense gaming

Overall, the Motorola G85 XT2427-2 offers excellent value for its price. The combination of a large battery, fast charging, a smooth display, and a capable processor makes it a strong contender in the mid-range smartphone market. While the camera could benefit from improvements in low-light situations, its strengths significantly outweigh its weaknesses. If you’re looking for a reliable and feature-rich 5G phone without breaking the bank, the Motorola G85 is a solid choice.
