Review of Motorola Moto G42
Motorola recently launched the Moto G62 5G and Moto G42 phones. We will focus on the latter, which is considered the better of the two. It offers a better feature pack for around £220 in the UK or €210 in the EU. Some cuts were made to achieve this price, but they are in the right places.
