Verdict The Moto G54 5G is a surprisingly capable budget-focused phone that offers better performance than I expected. Its camera could be better and more fully-featured, and the LCD display is disappointing in this day and age, but for £179/$200, it’s one of the best-looking phones in its price bracket and offers near-stock Android 13 […]

Verdict The Moto G13 meets the criteria of a cheap phone while looking good and offering excellent battery life.

First Impressions The Motorola Razr 40 Ultra could be an instant winner, but odd spec choices mean it might be surpassed in a matter of months rather than years. Still, the large 3.6-inch external display is a game-changer for clamshells, and I’d love to see it appear on others in due course. Large cover displayAt […]
First Impressions The Motorola Razr 40 has promise with a tempting sub-£800 price tag, but the small outer display may put some off — especially compared to the huge 3.6-inch external display of its more premium sibling. However, if you’re simply after a good-looking foldable phone that works well, the Razr 40 could fit the […]
Verdict Motorola has managed to deliver something that not only looks good and feels good in the hand, but a smartphone of substance. The Edge 40 boasts a gorgeous display, a rear-facing camera just as capable in low light as daylight, fast charging and decent performance – it’s just a bit of a shame it […]
