To recap

This isn’t just a good phone because it offers 5G future-proofing. It’s simply just a good phone for all it offers: a big screen, smooth software experience, and a sensible price. It looks a little plasticky and the cameras are an oversell, but otherwise there’s little within this class that can touch this Moto.
