  • Bought it just for its massive storage

    I have the 4/256GB variant in Red. Day-to-day use is fine, some sluggishness when multitasking, apps closing, freezing—the typical Helio G81 (Extreme) with eMMC storage experience. Not recommended for gaming as it struggles a bit even for light tasks such as Facebook and YouTube.

    Its 720p display with punch-hole display (nice) is passable with bad viewing angles. It has a 90Hz display which is nice, and a large 5,200mAh battery that can easily last two days upon normal usage. The 15W charging speed isn't exciting however. For the cameras, it's average. Bad low-light performance. Don't even start with the video quality.

    I recieved updates every two months which are great. Other than that, it's a no frills phone with a solid build quality and looks that doesn't let your aura down in public. Beyond its hardware, the G05 software is lackluster.

    Pros
    • Long battery life
    • Great design
    • Punch hole display
    • 90Hz refresh rate
    • Regular updates
    • Big storage (256GB variant)

    Acceptable

    It has a beautiful design, a good battery, and good photo quality, both in night shots and in demanding games; it's more or less good, but acceptable.

    Excellent phone for 80% of average users

    It is a very good phone, with its obvious limitations for the price, but for the use that 80% or more of users in general give it, who use it for social networks, watching videos and movies, WhatsApp and casual games, it works super well, if you are very detailed at some point you feel it somewhat slow, it is not that it does not flow or get stuck as is, it is just that due to its type of eMMc storage you do not feel that it slides perfectly like the UFS that gives you that sensation that the touch moves faster than your finger when there is good power. The camera actually works very well, it's not extraordinary but in good light it takes some outstanding photos that unless you look for the detail by zooming in there is a big difference with phones that cost double or triple, plus it's worth having a super expensive iPhone in comparison to take great photos if you're going to end up uploading them to Instagram or sending them via WhatsApp and throwing all the extra quality in the trash (It has the same camera as the Moto G15, G35, Samsung A16, A26), in low light it's a shame because they could improve a lot, but almost no one takes photos at night and without light. The 4GB memory in my case with the simplicity of Motorola is only felt if you are impatient and want to keep the applications active in multitasking. If you get it at a good price and you don't expect miracles like playing Call of Duty with high graphics (you can do it on low without despairing) and you're not going to use it for professional photography (for casual, personal souvenir photos it's not that great, but it does the job) it's undoubtedly better than struggling with Xiaomi and its secondary brands with their new OS that has many flaws and moreover you have to watch tutorials on the internet to deactivate the ads it comes with.
    I bought it for $97 at the exchange rate, the version with 64GB of storage and 4GB of RAM, I bought it with fear, it came from a basic but very functional Samsung A22 and the truth is it surprised me, you can hardly notice the difference, the only thing I miss is the NFC.

    Pros
    • The battery lasts all day and more.
    • It's cute and comfortable like its older brothers
    • Feels fluid in normal use
    • Its price
    Cons
    • It doesn't have NFC
    • eMMc Storage 5.1
    • Night photos with the native camera are bad

What is a Ki score?
Ki is an automatic score based on the specifications and prices of devices. It is calculated using over 200 variables to rank smartphones, tablets and other devices from best to worst.
How do we calculate the Ki?

In this case, to determine the score we evaluate 5 general aspects:

  • Design and screen
  • Hardware and performance
  • Camera
  • Connectivity
  • Battery

Once these 5 factors have been rated, we introduce the price variable. This means that any two devices with the same ratings get a different Ki score for quality vs price.

Even a device objectively worse than another may have a higher Ki score if it has a better price.

Does the Ki score change?

The Ki varies as time goes by. As new devices with better specifications enter the market the Ki score of older devices will go down, always being compensated of their decrease in price.
