Back in July last year, Motorola made headlines by launching one of the most affordable 5G capable devices in the European market — the Moto G 5G Plus. At a retail price of just €349, the Moto G 5G Plus offered Qualcomm's 5G-capable Snapdragon 765 chipset, up to 6GB of RAM, and up to 128GB of storage. A few weeks after the initial reveal, Motorola launched the Moto G 5G Plus in the US as the Moto One 5G, giving US residents a chance to experience 5G services without spending a fortune. Now, Motorola has brought an even more affordable 5G devices to the US in the form of the Moto One 5G Ace.
