The moto g35 5G is a cool $80 cheaper than the previous model

Cutting RRP and improving specs? In this economy? Motorola's latest budget phone won't set the world on fire, but it has a lot to offer.

The moto g34 was a pretty decent smartphone that was let down only by its proximity to better phones for almost the same price.

In my review of the g34, I said, "Motorola's Moto g34 5G does a reasonable job as a budget phone, but for an extra $20 you can get the much, much better g54 5G model, making this hard to recommend."

For the g35, Motorola has made the price difference more noticeable, carving $80 from the RRP for the newer model so it comes in at just $199. But it also boosted the phone's specs.
