A water and drop-resistant phone with wireless charging and cameras, plus a charger and headphones in the box? That’s nice. But would’ve been better if Motorola had cleaned up the buffet of features and spent the budget on improving some basic features instead, like the screen and battery life.

The Moto G75 5G might look like a standard mid-range smartphone, but with military-grade toughness, IP68 waterproofing, and a solid Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 processor, it offers more than most at this level. While the LCD screen lacks OLED vibrance, it's impressive for its price.

The Motorola G75 5G has it all for $499. Snapdragon SoC, great phone reception, excellent camera and much more.

The Motorola Moto G75 5G isn’t the best or most powerful phone of all time. But for $500, the full package is attractive, with everything you need, and nothing you don’t.

The Moto G75 5G does things a little differently to other sub-£300 phones, and that helps it to stand out. Military-grade toughness and wireless charging support stand alongside an exemplary software update promise to make this a surprisingly special phone.
