Motorola One 5G Ace review: Good at most things, great at nothing

The Motorola One 5G Ace comes in at $400 and has a lot to offer -- but can it compete with the likes of the Pixel 4a and iPhone SE?

Modern design ; Excellent battery life ; Solid display ; Good performance

Subpar camera for the money ; Only one software update guaranteed

Motorola One 5G Ace Review

Solid sub-6GHz connectivity ; Global LTE and 5G connectivity ; Long battery life

Ships with Android 10 ; Insufficient OS upgrade policy ; Lackluster cameras ; Limited water resistance ; Lacks support for wireless charging

The Motorola One 5G Ace handles most basic tasks well, but its low-quality cameras and outdated OS mean the Google Pixel 4a 5G is a better value.

Motorola One 5G Ace review: a big phone that doesn’t check enough boxes

Its large screen and huge battery are nice but not enough.

Big, bright display ; Excellent battery life ; Well-priced for 5G

Camera struggles with low-light and high-contrast scenes ; Bulky and heavy ; Screen lacks contrast and resolution

The Motorola One 5G Ace offers a large 6.7-inch screen, massive 5,000mAh battery, and 5G at a reasonable price — but it falls short in other ways.

Motorola One 5G Ace review: Great battery life and 5G aren’t enough

It wasn't too long ago that Motorola was leading the pack when it came to budget phones thanks to devices like their Moto G7 Power. More recently, Motorola has been taking on the mid-range, and Motorola One 5G Ace review: The Ace is a solid affordable...

The Motorola One 5G Ace offers great battery life and performance, but can it compete with other mid-range phones?

Motorola One 5G Ace Review

Motorola's new One 5G Ace is essentially a stripped-down version of the One 5G from last summer, and that's not a bad thing given how solid that phone was. The new Ace model makes some smart trade-offs to make 5G more accessible, and it mostly...

Great value for a 5G phone; Snappy performance; Good camera quality; Excellent battery life

Macro lens doesn’t add much value; Build could be sturdier

Motorola One 5G Ace review: Not good enough for $400

Carriers and manufacturers are super excited to sell you a 5G phone, even if there's very little benefit to buying one in 2021. The feature has slowly

Moto One 5G Ace Review: Solid 5G Phone, Battery Life Champ

The Moto One 5G Ace is a competent $399 5G phone that delivers great battery life but packs lackluster cameras.

Motorola One 5G Ace review

Is a low price and a long-lasting battery enough to make you buy the Motorola One 5G Ace? Motorola hopes so, but the presence of other inexpensive 5G devices makes this a hard sell.

12-plus hours of battery life ; Sub-$400 price ; Bright display ; Good macro lens

Cameras struggle in low light ; Only one Android update planned

There's nothing wrong with the Motorola One 5G Ace, though I do wish its camera handled low-light photos with more aplomb. But at a time when more phone makers are putting effort into producing lower-cost 5G devices, "good enough" is barely enough to...

Motorola One 5G Ace review

The Motorola One 5G Ace delivers 5G, a big screen, and speedy performance on a budget, even if it's a little basic elsewhere.

Well-balanced package Speedy chipset Big, bright display

No OLED or high refresh rate Plastic build Average cameras

The Motorola One 5G Ace adds yet another budget 5G phone to the market, and though it doesn’t offer anything too exciting, it has well-rounded features and performance that are easy to get behind.

Hands on: Motorola One 5G Ace review

The Motorola One 5G Ace may be a small refinement, but it's one of the most affordable 5G-capable phones on the market.

5G capable at mid-range price Decent camera options

Slightly lower specs than predecessor Drop in storage

The Motorola One 5G Ace features lesser specs than its predecessor, but the price has also dropped allowing for more people to make the use of 5G connectivity.
