After rumours started swirling over the past couple weeks, as was the case with many other smartphone manufacturers, Motorola has officially unveiled the Moto G5 and G5 Plus budget Android smartphones. Don’t let the term budget fool you for a minute though, as Motorola is marketing the Moto G5 and the G5 Plus as “Premium For All.”
According to a survey conducted by Motorola, users valued long battery life, camera quality, and resolution and display over other features. Most users were willing to pay more for a longer lasting battery or a better camera in their devices, but the Moto G series offers both without breaking the bank. Let’s take a look at the new Moto G5 and G5 Plus with their new design, Google Assistant, Android Nougat, and affordable price points.

Moto G5 Plus
Also housed in an aluminum shell, the Moto G5 Plus features a 12MP camera with Dual Autofocus Pixels for quicker focusing by utilizing 10x more pixels on the sensor. The f/1.7 aperture let in more light, making low light photography easier.
Under the hood, the G5 Plus features a 3000 mAh battery with TurboPower charging which gets you up to 1six hours of additional battery life with just a 15-minute charge. A 2.0 GHz octa-core processor, and 2 or 3GB of RAM with 32GB of storage power the G5 Plus. In addition to the existing Moto Actions, including Moto Display, the new One Button Nav uses the fingerprint scanner to navigate quickly through screens.
