  • Motorola G5S Plus review

    Welcome to the 2018 Motorola G5S Plus review. After checking out the G5S we really had to compare it to the larger G5S Plus. Since both are now in run out to make way for the G6 series they now get our attention.  The G5S Plus is the bigger screened version of the regular G5S but there is more changes than. The G5S Plus is currently priced under $350 AUD which is impressive for the spec. In terms of construction the Motorola G5S Plus is just like the G5 which is very good. The styling is old fashioned but 2018 but it still looks good enough be considered mid range. Like the G5 Sthe back panel is not longer removable and as a 2 piece slab style smartphones go it is very well made and certainly no complaints for the price. In terms of hardware the G5S Plus has better specs than the G5S better CPU, bigger screen and so forth. There are no fancy edge to edge screen, or AMOLED even multi-megapixel screen just a reasonable 1080P. Once again due to it's price we have no problems with it parts mix and it is certainly better specified than the Nokia's as an example. In terms of use the Motorola G5S Plus has a stock-ish Android interface that means it works smoothly and fast considering the hardware. We had not complaints about speed or performance in general. We also think the the Snapdragon 625 CPU SOE is probably the ideal budget compromise in terms of operation in 2018. In conclusion the Motorola G5S Plus is a great phone with the spec of a phone that usually sells for $100 more eg. Nokia 7. The G5S Plus is hard to go past when priced at a very affordable $329. Although $50 more than the regular G5S the Plus version is well worth it for the faster CPU and graphics. The G5S Plus is arguably the best value Android based smartphone you can currently buy in mis-2018. However note that Motorola's new owners Lenovo no longer offer regular or if all Android software updates so you're stuck with what ever bugs came with the phone you bought. Hence they will never be recommended by us over a brand that does eg. Nokia. Specifications

  • Motorola G5S Review

    Welcome to the 2018 Motorola G5 review. The G5S is the newest entry level phone form Motorola. In 2018 there is so much more competition from less known brands and that make it hard to standout be be considered for purchase. Price, specification then branding are the keys to this market and the Motorola G5S is arguably one of the most known. We like the G5 series as we actually bought one and it still works well. With the release of the G5S it's logical successor of the G5 we decided to have a closer look. The Motorola G5S is priced at $279 AUD which makes it appealing and competitive. In terms of construction the Motorola G5S is just like the G5 which is very good, certainly better than the asking price suggests. However it is unfortunate that it looks like the older model. Overall there isn't anything to complain about considering the price. Of note that aluminium body is a nice touch at such a low price. In terms of hardware the G5S clearly has lower end parts but the upgrade for RAM to 3 Gigs means that its enough to handle multiple apps easily and helps the now Snapdragon CPU equipped some headroom. It has all the usual Android spec of microSD expansion, fingerprints and 1080p HD screen and surprisingly fast charging. Apart from that there is really no other standout features which is fair enough given the price and allows of the higher end G5S Plus some spec updates. In terms of use the Motorola G5S has virtually a stock Android interface that means it works smoothly and fast considering the hardware. Android is fully functional put of the box here days and there is little complain about in terms o fuse. It really reminders us of a PC that doesn't run windows. All the popular Apps will work well despite the low CPU except for graphic intensive games. In conclusion the Motorola G5S is a great little phone with the spec of a phone that usually sells for $50-100 more eg. Nokia 6 and that's why it will be a phone we will always recommend above the lessor or better promoted brands. It's a phone that works well as long as you don't run heavy duty games like Fortnite. If you want a bigger screen and better specs there is always the G5S Plus. Nonetheless as a phone for basics of Whatsapp, Facebook, instgram, banking, web browsing, videos and music it is hard to go past the Motorola G5S for the price of under $300 at the moment but you need to consider the G5S Plus...However note that Motorola's new owners Lenovo no longer offer regular or if all Android software updates so you're stuck with what ever bugs came with the phone you bought. Hence they will never be recommended by us over a brand that does eg. Nokia. Specifications

  • Motorola G5 Plus Review

    Welcome to the 2017 Motorola G5 Plus review. The G5 Plus is the newest budget phone from Motorola and was released along side the G5. The G5 Plus is both different internally and has some external differences. The Motorola G5 Plus is priced at $399 outright in Australia, which is a very good starting price for spec and performance. While the regular G5 is a decent phone in it's own right the G5 Plus adds a number of features that justify the higher price tag and possibly your decision to buy. In terms of construction the Motorola G5 Plus is very good. The body has more metal than the cheaper G5 but still has the removable rear back plate although the frame is plastic. The physical measurements are the same it just feels better to hold. That said the metal is still not truly premium but it's quite good, befitting it's price tag. That sums up the G5 Plus's construction, it's very good just not top end. As a note the premium priced ZTE Axon 7 priced around  $600 or Huawei Mate 9 priced at approx $1000 do not look $300-700 more expensive or work any faster in normal use. So no complaints about the G5 Plus given it's price tag. In terms of hardware the G5 Plus has a mid-range CPU and includes, a decent IPS 1080p screen, dual SIM, finger print, fast charging, decent 2 Ghz Octa-core CPU, and separate graphics CPU, up to 4 Gig of RAM, 32 Gig or program space and microSD card expansion. Except for the omission of NFC, which I haven't seen anyone use it is very mid-range in spec without the price tag. Overall it G5 Plus is a upgrade on the regular G5 and just as good as any other phone of similar priced or higher. In terms of use the Motorola G5 Plus has a virtually stock Android interface that means it works smoothly and fast considering the hardware. There are a few interface tweaks like the multi-function fingerprint scanner for the Android buttons if that is what you prefer. No complaints with the interface and performance easily faster than the Note 4 or Sony Xperia or even iPhone 6. We guess that there is much less system processing required thanks to the streamlined OS. Once again in conclusion it is rare that we post a review of a mobile phone so early in it's release phase and that's because the Motorola G5 Plus is very impressive package. It's a phone as good as any mid-range phone costing more, better than the formerly cheaper brands from China and iPhone 6 and trumps them all with a low purchase price. The G5 Plus is arguably the best budget priced phone on the market right now from any brand. Forget the rest and give it go. Specifications

  • Motorola G5 Review

    Welcome to the 2017 Motorola G5 review. The G5 is the newest entry level phone form Motorola and was released along side the G5 Plus. In the past we usually combine the review for both phone bearing very similar names for the sake of easy comparison however there is a significant difference in terms of performance that there will be a separate review for the G5 Plus next week! The Motorola G5 is priced at $299 outright in Australia, which is a very good starting price for spec and performance. It is as good as or better than more expensive models from less known brands and manufacturers. Eg. Oppo and ZTE for example. In terms of construction the Motorola G5 is good. The body is mostly plastic and glass but with a metal back plate but despite having a removable back it is very well put together and you wouldn't even know. That said the plastic bits are not noticeable at all but the chrome edge indicates it is not a top range phone of 2017. Overall there isn't anything to complain about considering the price. In terms of hardware the G5 clearly has lower end parts (unlike the the G5 Plus) but it includes a multi-function fingerprint reader, a 1080P HD display that looks really good, a fast charging function, microSD memory expansion and a separate graphics CPU.  You also get a rare bonus of dual SIM capability. Sure it only has an Octa-core 1.4 GHz CPU but is doesn't really feel it until performing intensive tasks like loading complex web pages, but games seem to work quite well. Once again considering the low price this it perfectly acceptable. In terms of use the Motorola G5 has a stock Android interface that means it works smoothly and fast considering the hardware. There are a few interface tweaks like the multi-function fingerprint scanner for the Android buttons. Only intensive web browsing reveal it's average 2GB RAM as games demo'ed seem to work well. Being stock Android everything simply works and you still have the option of customising it with what ever interface apps you want. The G5 feels better and smoother than virtually all the budget and cheap Android phones we've tried to date. In conclusion it is rare that we post a review of a mobile phone so early in it's release phase and that's because Motorola G5 impressed us. It's smooth fast and looks good for an inexpensive phone. The G5 is also cheaper and better than most of the newer phone brands from China we've tried recently and that's a huge complement. The Motorola G5 is a rare phone it's relatively cheap priced at less than $299 and great specifications for the price for the Australian market. Well worth a look if you're for a budget phone. That said do check out the next review on the Motorola G5 Plus which is even better! Specifications

  • LG G Watch R vs Motorola 360 Comparison

    LG G watch vs Motorola 360
    Plenty of reviews out there so here's our own addition to the LG G Watch R vs Motorola 360 comparison and review. We're comparing the two purely because they are the only decent circular or round smartwatches you can buy.  Needless to say that we prefer the LG watch because we bought one over the Motorola 360 (see prior review). Both are great 1st generation round smart watches! We feel that aesthetics first and functionality second are the key features that will make you decide which one is better suited on your wrist. Hardware specifications are considered separately most probably don't care as long as it works well. Needless to day that the LG G Watch R is the hardware winner - surprisingly. We also prefer the completely round screen rather than the flat tire effect on the Moto 360. In terms of design the LG G watch R looks good hiding its size very well.There plenty of regular quartz, G-Shocks and mechanical watches bigger that the LG.  Where as the Motorola 360 due to the completely round body doesn't hide it's size so well but still its not as big as some other regular watches mentioned above. The different body colours and metal band options of the Moto 360 are a nice touch and well worth getting! In terms of use the LG has a better screen and one that works in dimmed mode most of the time without draining the battery it is also smoother to use (thanks to the new CPU) than the Moto 360. Since they run the same OS the functionality is the same. Both have a multitude of watch faces you can change at any time which makes them so cool! Both feature Heart rate monitors and sensors to measure steps which make them good replacements for regular health monitors like lower spec Fitbit etc..

  • Motorola ATRIX Review

    hyp4mhz
    Welcome to the Motorola Atrix review of 2011.  The Atrix was released in early 2011 as a high end model with most of the latest hardware technology that would become common throughout the rest of the year. As a phone the Artix is a very cool design details that require a close up look to appreciate. Unfortunately these details will probably be hidden or 'protected' by some cheap protective case that has become so common these days. In terms of hardware you will find a few things not found on any or very few phones currently for sale (2011). For example the dual-core CPU with a separate graphics processor, biometric security or finger print scanner and the previously mentioned scratch resistant glass. However to balance off the new features there a few things that are not quite up to top spec level. Far example the 4 inch screen size, 5MP camera and missing FM radio. The Atrix has a decent screen but it is not AMOLED but has a higher density of pixels (aka iPhone) which means  it is definitely not quite as nice to look at and the Atrix will have higher battery usage as a result. In terms of construction the Motorola Atrix is very good however still not close to the impressive iPhone or the Nokia N8.  Sure it may not be made of a single piece of aluminum or plastic but the way it has been put together is solid and feels good enough. The carbon fiber like rear cover also looks pretty good close up.  No creaks or rattles and as good as the segment leader the Samsung Galaxy S. If you do get an Atrix remember that the front screen is Gorilla glass which is more scratch resistant than virtually all 'accessory' coverings you could possibly buy. Our Nokia N8 has the same feature and has been without a cover for at least 6 months not a scratch to be seen! In terms of operation the Atrix is very slick despite the Motoblur affected interface. We have no criticisms of any importance apart from those related to the way Android OS or Motoblur works. The web browser allows you to visit any site even with Flash based content - however it will not run complex games like those on Facebook. Final words? Lots of technology in a small package, if you can live with an average sized screen (4 inches ) then go for it. As with all Android phones it all depends on the price as they can basically do the same thing. Great phone but there are so many other great phones too! Specifications

  • Motorola DEFY Review

    hyp4mhz
    Welcome to the Motorola DEFY review.  The DEFY was released in late 2010 into a very crowded Android based phone market. It's selling point was the ruggerised case and screen and a slightly faster 800Mhz CPU than the base models but slower than the top end models. It has been awhile since we reviewed a Motorola phone because since they started using the Android operating system they are basically the same apart of hardware variations.  The once industry leading Motorola used to make really cool looking phones all the latest technology - hampered by the short sighted networks installing crap software that often made them poor to use.  We can be thankfully for Apple for releasing us from the phone networks - unfortunately that meant that we are now being locked into the Apple 'network'. We like freedom so there must be a better solution our there - perhaps Android OS is our savior? Android in its standard form works really well but again Motorola has not understood that tinkering with the core of the operating system simply does not result in a better experience! Why couldn't they just put an App in? Maybe it was a model we tried but we came away thinking that the DEFY was not sluggish but more a tad unresponsive. Overall though it feels faster than the 600Mhz CPU but definitely slower than the 1Ghz. Th model comes with Android 2.1 so your missing a few features most will not miss. The DEFY can be purchased for any 3G network including Telstra 850Mhz NextG however outright DEFYs can also be bought for other networks. So before buying make sure you know which network it will In terms of construction the DEFY is light and solid but lacking any design flair. The ruggerised case feels good enough and hard wearing to carry around without extra protective cases but being completely honest it looks like a cheap phone. If you're clumsy, then its water and scratch resistance will help you out but you may need a case to hide it from the public. BTW the publicity pictures makes the phone look better than it actually is. There is nothing else exceptional about the DEFY but for the unnecessary Motoblur application which is annoying. We couldn't get it work properly for your information, some updates just wouldn't happen. Seriously Motorola, get your act together and put in a turn off button. If Motoblur does work it's still less useful than the dedicated apps or the web browser versions for Facebook, Twitter and other types of social networking accounts. Other than that the phone works as expected In the end we didn't want to write up too much more because we were already let down by the lack of any improvement to the interface compared earlier models.  It is the only ruggerised Android which we've seen to date so this is the key selling point. However a decent case will make any other touchscreen closely match the DEFY. Overall only gave the Motorola DEFY a passing grade. Sure it does everything OK but that's it. We felt that the company wasn't even trying when it sent this one out to the public. Specifications

  • Motorola DEXT Review

    Welcome to the Motorola DEXT/CLIQ review. Released early 2010 the DEXT along with MILESTONE and BACKFLIP are the latest Google Android operating system based mobile phones by by Motorola.  Using Android as the basis for their mid-range and up phones was probably one of the best moves by the company since the V3.  As a result their phones now have a consistent, stable, fast and customizable and supportable user interface as well as all the latest functionality. The design of the DEXT and CLIQ is as a typical QWERTY slider but with touch screen functionality as well.  The design works really well when typing emails and BLOG entries.  There is absolutely nothing wrong how the phone works once you get used to the operating system. The MOTOBLUR system does make your life easier if you want to remain connected to every major social network site on the Internet. It basically brings up 'widgets' for all the different networks so you can see what everyone is up to.  It does work well.  The only issue we have is that if your phone network provider has poor internet connectivity you will encounter updating issues.  Since this phone is available though OPTUS at present (2010) it is a  hit an miss when accessing the internet. I don't like the idea of syncing with all your online data since many do not put in their up to date or correct details due to privacy concerns - especially in Facebook! Network signal strength based on using the Optus carrier is good likewise battery life.  However like all smart phones these days the Cliq's battery life is not exceptional reportedly lasting the usual 12 hours or so with moderate usage.  Since it seems that this is normal for this type of mobile phone it is no longer complaint worthy 2010.  However this sort of battery life is poor considering that the latest Nokia smart phones for example have at least a full 24 hours before wanting to be charged with needing a bigger capacity battery. In terms of functionality the DEXT has the lot, everything you could need in a mobile phone in 2010.  It is a high end phone except...although well constructed it does not feel like a must have phone. It needs better looking materials or design as opposed to better quality because the quality is fine.  The Motorola V3, V3XX, V8 and V9 where lovely phones to look at and touch the DEXT is the almost the complete opposite.  I wouldn't say it ugly - more inoffensive I guess. There's not much else to say really.  The DEXT has all the stuff you could want in a 3G internet connected phone.  It works really well. Specifications

  • Motorola BACKFLIP Review

    Welcome to the Motorola BACKFLIP MB300/ME600 review. Released early 2010 the BACKFLIP along with the other Android based phones by Motorola.  Using Android as the basis for their mid-range and up phones was probably one of the best moves by the company since the V3.  As a result their phones now have a consistent, stable, fast and customizable and supportable user interface as well as all the latest functionality. To prevent too much repetition from the Motorola DEXT/CLIQ review, the BACKFLIP is the same phone in a different case. The design of the BACKFLIP is different.  The keypad is always on the outside of the phone and to use it just flip it to the correct angle.  It is different but it does work.  The keypad being on the outside will be subject to rough surfaces but from the materials used it should remain scratch-less for some time. In terms of battery life - we do not really know but signal strength appears to very good. (We couldn't test the phone for long!) The screen itself is on par with any other smart phone certainly the same as the benchmark iPhone 3. In terms of functionality the BACKFLIP has the lot, everything you could need in a mobile phone in 2010. It is also a design statement yet works.  You will stand out from the crowd in a good way and worth the questioning looks and comments.  However the only thing that does not attract up to the phone is the chunky design.  Better looking materials would help! There's not much else to say really.  The BACKFLIP has all the stuff you could want in a 3G internet connected phone.  Like all the latest Motorola phones based on the Android OS it works really well.
