    Worst quality pictures produced by its camera as far as 2020 Motorola phones go.

        More features in this phone than the Nord(3.5mm jack and micro sd).
        But probably the Nord will score better because of marketing.
        Money talks people say...

              In general this review is ok and i agree with most of the points.

              As a user of the G 5G Plus, the battery life is great but not as impressive as it is on the g8 Power or the One fusion +. I suspect the 90hz and powerfull chipset pays the toll.

              Don´t know if low light perfomance is good or not but what I do know is at this price range the competitors won´t be much better either.

              Overall is a good phone and that´s what matters

                I think the reviewer is being a bit too critical of it. It's honestly pretty good for the price.

                If they rate the Nord any higher, I'm gonna start doubting their credibility.

Does the phone take pictures "snap" there and then is what people want to know.

                      If they make it in One Vision size and style , with 2 back cameras and 1 front camera , that will be very interesting for the rest of people who doesn't need a big and bigger phone.

                          The good light studio shot is not focused properly. Please redo it.

                            Nice specs and design (90Hz LCD, Plastic back, 5000 mah). These are the specs that I'd like to get, however still quite pricey compared to Chinese phones.
                            I would have liked the Poco M2 Pro except that it doesn't have faster 90Hz display

                              At this price point, the writer is still complaining? Quite funny.

                                3.5 stars...putting a lot into the rating because of the camera huh? Sure night mode isn't amazing and neither is the lone speaker but it has a headphone jack, giant battery, smooth display, clean Android skin, super cheap for a 5G phone, and does the dual punch hole thing right compared to Realne and Oneplus (although I'd prefer pop-up cam or bezel).

                                This looks more like a 4 star and I'm probably hooking my dad up with this thing down the road once it's available for the US's 5G bands.

                                  I don't know why GSM Arena listed the lack of telephoto camera as the con. None of the phones from the the same "Affordable 5G Phone" class (One Plus Nord, Oppo Find X2 Lite, Realme X50 Pro 5G, Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite...) has it.

                                    ithehappy, 29 Jul 2020Meh the low light performance. Expected much better results... moreYeah, I agree, One Vision/Action were probably their most successful models last year. I am also waiting for their successors.

                                      Meh the low light performance. Expected much better results. But then again no OIS, Moto needs to release a successor to the One Vision.
