To really test the G53’s ability to handle color, I loaded up a stream of The Incredibles on Disney Plus. While it’s not the fanciest case of the bunch, the simple stylings of the JXVM for Moto G 5G Case puts its focus on a sleek design. We’re also big fans of the slidable plastic cover for the camera lenses, and the dual-layer TPU and polycarbonate materials that make the SMKY a go-to for Moto G 5G protection. Plus, it's protected from RFID scanners, according to the company, so you should have to worry about your numbers being stolen with a scanner.

With a background in home theater sales, installation and repair, Michael's hands-on reviews, how-to guides, product roundups, and op-eds have been featured by notable publications including Android Police, How-To Geek, Digital Trends, SPY. If you still want protection but are hoping for something more stylish, the Otterbox Commuter Series Lite is a great pick for a little more money. Made of tough premium metals, the kickstand can be rotated 360 degrees, allowing for multiple display options.

The takeaway is to not expect flagship-level performance, as this is a budget device that’s on par with its peers. It's also quite flexible, making it easy to pop the case on and off should you ever want to go careless again. With full 360-degree coverage, including the screen, it's easy to slip your Moto G 5G and feel safe thanks to its military-grade drop protection and the extra lips around the device to ensure the front never quite touches the surface it lays upon. While 50 megapixels may sound like an enticing number, it doesn’t tell the whole story and it doesn’t necessarily equate to high-quality images.

There’s no mention of Gorilla Glass being used on the front panel in Motorola’s official specs list, so you’ll definitely want to invest in a tempered glass screen protector, and while an official IP rating is not offered, the company says it has a “water-repellant” design that can survive the odd splash or spill, but you’ll want to refrain from submerging it in water at all costs.I don’t think this detracts from the overall viewing experience because, since the screen is so large, my eyes were never really drawn to the chin at the bottom. Raised edges around the screen and rear camera array let you rest your phone on either side without having to worry about messing up the finish on your Moto G 5G. It’s a solidly built device, even if its overall design is a little uninspired, but the star of the show is its battery life, which should keep you going for well over a day.

Our vision has always been to create a unique design that allows you to make your urban life more active. The Moto G family of phones often has multiple members, but what you’ll find in the US, for example, may not be available in Australia and vice versa. But benchmark scores only tell some of the story and, in general day-to-day use, I found the G53 to perform well. Across the board this is a competent phone that offers near-flagship performance for less-than-flagship money.

The phone only supports up to 10 watts of maximum throughput from a wired charge, which meant it took just over two hours to top up to 100% from seven. We haven't yet reviewed the A14 here at TechRadar, but we have seen the previous Samsung Galaxy A13, which performed well in our tests.

If you like to view the back of your phone as a canvas, the FollmeAir case is the perfect simple TPU case that can give you the artistic expression you want, thanks to the many designs available. Having said that, I did let out a discernible gasp when I first took it out the box when I realized just how light it was. Its clean and simple design makes it fit anyone's style and the soft-touch finish feels great to the touch when it's resting in your hand.

The Moto G53's battery life is one of its (few) standout features, so if you need a phone that's going to easily last you a day (perhaps at a weekend-long music festival), then this is a phone that will prevent battery anxiety.
