Moto G85 Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
![Ashish Kumar]()
Verdict
The Moto G85 is arguably the most premium-looking smartphone in its segment. Its near-bezel-less pOLED curved screen and Dolby Atmos speakers deliver an impressive viewing experience. The battery life is commendable, and the camera capabilities produce social media-ready images with ease. However, the Moto G85 falls short in performance compared to its competitors, which makes it difficult to recommend despite its other strengths.
Pros
- Excellent design
- Beautiful curved screen
- Capable cameras
Cons
- Sub-par IP rating
- Performance could have been better
Design and display
+
The Moto G85 is the first smartphone in its class to feature a curved screen design, making it look more in line with the company's more expensive Edge series smartphone. The phone boasts a plastic frame with a vegan leather back but it doesn't feel like one. It has a rubberised feel with a fabric-like pattern atop that rubs off well against the palms - better than the vegan leather of the Edge series I would say. The handset is also extremely lightweight, measuring 172 grams despite its 5,000mAh battery. Additionally, the G85 is just 7.5mm in thickness, making it comfortable to wield.

The Moto G85 boasts a dual rear camera setup, featuring a 50MP primary sensor with Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS) and an 8MP secondary ultrawide lens. The primary 50MP camera ensures stable image and video capture, while the 8MP ultrawide lens offers a 118-degree field of view, autofocus, and macro image capabilities.

At the core of the Moto G85 is the Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 SoC, paired with either 8GB or 12GB of RAM and 128GB or 256GB of onboard storage. For this review, we received the 12GB + 256GB configuration. This latest mid-range chipset from Qualcomm doesn't help the smartphone stand out from the crowd, at least in the synthetic benchmark tests. The handset achieved a score of 4,71,687 on AnTuTu. On Geekbench, it scored 926 in the single-core test and 2,145 in the multi-core test. In the Burnout CPU throttle test, the handset maintained 53.20 percent of its peak performance.

Battery and charging
+
The Moto G85 features a 5,000mAh battery, capable of lasting at least a day depending on usage. In the PCMark battery test, which simulates various activities until the battery drops to 20 percent from a full charge, the handset lasted 11 hours and 33 minutes. During our 30-minute YouTube video test, the smartphone used up 4 percent of its battery, indicating approximately 12 hours of screen time.
