About the Motorola Moto G35
The Moto G35 is Motorola's answer to a specific budget problem: most cheap phones ask you to accept a low-resolution screen. This one does not. Its 6.72-inch panel runs at full 1080p with a 120Hz refresh rate, which makes text noticeably crisper and scrolling smoother than the HD+ screens fitted to most rivals at this level, and stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos make it a better companion for video than the price implies. The Unisoc T760 chip is the compromise. It copes with messaging, browsing, streaming and undemanding games, but it is not a processor you buy for headroom, and heavy multitaskers should look at the 8GB model rather than the 4GB one. The 5,000mAh battery lasts a full day without difficulty, though 18W charging is slow to refill it. Photography is basic, with a 50MP main sensor that does its best work in daylight, but Motorola does include an 8MP ultrawide rather than a token macro lens. A headphone jack and microSD slot both survive.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Motorola Moto G35 worth buying?
The Moto G35 is worth buying if you want a sharp screen on a tight budget, since a 1080p 120Hz panel is unusual at this level and most rivals stick to HD+. The Unisoc T760 chip is the weak point and will feel slow if you push it, so pick the 8GB model if you can. Cameras and charging speed are basic but adequate for everyday use.
Does the Motorola Moto G35 have 5G?
Yes, the Moto G35 supports 5G through its Unisoc T760 chipset, so it will connect to 5G networks across the UK where coverage exists. That is worth having on a budget phone you intend to keep for several years, since it avoids being stuck on 4G as networks expand.
How good is the Motorola Moto G35 screen?
Better than most phones in its class. It is a 6.72-inch LCD at 1080 x 2400 with a 120Hz refresh rate, so text looks sharp and scrolling is smooth, where budget rivals typically use a lower-resolution HD+ panel. Being LCD rather than AMOLED, blacks look grey next to a Samsung Galaxy A-series screen.
Does the Motorola Moto G35 have a headphone jack and microSD slot?
Yes to both. The Moto G35 keeps a 3.5mm headphone jack for wired earphones and takes microSD cards up to 1TB, so you can expand the 128GB or 256GB storage cheaply. It also has stereo speakers tuned with Dolby Atmos, which is unusual at this level.
How long does the Motorola Moto G35 battery last?
The 5,000mAh battery sees out a full day of ordinary use comfortably, helped by the low-power Unisoc chipset. Charging is the trade-off, with TurboPower capped at 18W and no wireless charging, so a full refill takes well over an hour.
Should I buy the Motorola Moto G35 or the Moto G55?
The G55 is the faster and better-finished phone, with a MediaTek Dimensity 7025 chip, 30W charging, IP54 splash resistance and an optically stabilised main camera, in a lighter 179g body. The G35 counters with a bigger 6.72-inch screen and the same 1080p 120Hz sharpness, plus microSD and a headphone jack that the G55 also keeps. Choose the G55 if performance matters, the G35 if screen size and value do. Compare Motorola Moto G55 deals.

Based on main-sensor size (1-inch / 1/1.3" beats 1/2.0"), telephoto reach (periscope > 5x > 3x optical), image processing tier (Apple Pro, Pixel Pro, Galaxy Ultra, Honor Magic Pro, Xiaomi Ultra), pro video features (ProRes, Apple Log, Dolby Vision), camera-partnership branding (Leica, Hasselblad, Zeiss) and OIS. Older flagships are de-rated since image processing pipelines have advanced significantly each generation. Megapixel count is deliberately downweighted — it correlates poorly with real-world camera quality. Where DXOMARK has lab-tested the phone, its measured score replaces this estimate.

Based on battery capacity (mAh) adjusted for platform efficiency calibrated against NotebookCheck, Tom's Guide, GSMArena and CNET reviewer tests. Apple A-series gets +45% (iOS process freezing + LTPO 1Hz + tuned panels make iPhone Pro Max outlast many 6500+ mAh Android phones in measured tests). Top Snapdragon / Dimensity flagships get +15%, budget chipsets are penalised −15% to −25% to reflect less efficient displays and looser background limits. Charging speed is excluded — see the separate Fast charging tag for that.
