Moto G85 at huge discount: 4 reasons to buy
– The Moto G85 5G is surprisingly light and has a slim design. The device has a vegan leather back panel, which offers good grip and texture. It features a 6.7-inch pOLED curved-display with a 120Hz refresh rate. It also has a peak brightness of 1600 nits and is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 5. The show-stopping feature of the device is its curved display, similar to the high-end Moto Edge series. The display is vibrant and bright enough to be used even in direct sunlight.
-The Moto G85 is powered by the Snapdragon 6 Gen3 chipset, paired with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. To push its limits, we ran several benchmark tests on the device. The test results are in our detailed review, but the long story short is that the phone offers good general performance. The device shares some of the advanced features of the premium Moto Edge series, including Smart Connect that helps mirror your phone to another device like a laptop or desktop. The Moto G85 also offers some utility features like Family Space and Moto Unplugged.
The smartphone is powered by a 5,000mAh battery with 33W fast charging support. The Moto G85 is capable of lasting a whole day on just one charge. While the battery capacity is excellent, better charging speeds would have been nice. It took me 80 minutes to charge the phone from 0 percent to 100 percent.
– The Moto G85 is the first device in the Moto G-series to feature a Sony LYT-600 sensor with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS). It has a rear dual-camera system with a 50-megapixel camera and an 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens. Both daylight and nightlight images are bright and vivid. Although the camera produces slightly oversaturated images, the overall result looks good and, in most cases, even Instagram-ready. View camera samples here. But I encountered one problem while using the Moto G85: its shutter speed is slow.
