Introduction
The Motorola Moto G50 is an affordable 5G phone. While there are a lot of these about in 2021, the category is still fairly new.
5G mobile internet is much cheaper to implement than it once was, but the Moto G50 still has a few compromises I wouldn’t usually expect to see at the price.
These are a 720p screen, which looks good but doesn’t have the sort of near-flagship sharpness you can easily find among the best cheap phones. And although the Motorola Moto G50 has three cameras on its back, it feels like a single-camera phone much of the time as there’s no ultra-wide lens. These are found in almost every other phone in this category.
