Best Phone Under £150? | Motorola Moto G35 5G Unboxing & Tour

The Motorola Moto G35 5G is a budget-friendly smartphone with a large 6.72-inch display, a Unisoc T760 processor, and a long-lasting 5,000 mAh battery. While it offers decent performance and good battery life for basic usage, its camera quality and performance are average, making it ideal for users who primarily need a reliable, affordable device for everyday tasks.

Phone Design & Display

• 00:01:05 The Moto G35 features a 6.72-inch IPS display with a full HD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate, offering a larger screen compared to its predecessor. The phone has a long and thin design with a Gorilla Glass 3 protection, and the back is made with soft-touch vegan leather, available in black, red, or green finishes. Despite a noticeable 'chin' at the bottom, the phone's dimensions are comfortable to hold.

Operating System & Software

• 00:02:47 The Moto G35 runs a stock version of Android 14 with minimal UI changes, offering a clean and user-friendly experience. It includes a few Motorola-specific apps like Moto Secure, which offers features like PIN scramble, and Family Space, for child-friendly use. However, the phone lacks the Moto app, requiring users to access Motorola features and tools through the settings.

Processor & Performance

• 00:07:09 The Moto G35 uses a Unisoc T760 processor and 4GB of RAM, which performs adequately for everyday tasks, though it can feel a bit laggy at times, especially when using camera-intensive apps. While it can handle casual gaming like Call of Duty or PUBG on lower graphic settings, the phone is not ideal for demanding gaming experiences.

Battery & Charging

• 00:08:40 The phone boasts a 5,000 mAh battery, providing impressive battery life that lasts for hours or even days on a single charge. The battery drains slowly even when the phone is in use, making it suitable for users who require a long-lasting battery. However, charging speed is slow at 18W, requiring over an hour for a full charge.

Camera

• 00:09:33 The Moto G35 has a 50MP main camera and an 8MP ultrawide lens, along with features like a portrait mode and a Pro mode. While sufficient for everyday photography, the camera struggles with sharp contrasts and low-light conditions. The ultrawide lens produces photos with a lower resolution, and video recording quality is also average, capable of 4K resolution but not ideal for high-quality footage.
