Moto G5 Plus preview: A closer look

22 May 2017
Last month we took a look at the Moto G5, one of the two Moto G models released this year. What we saw left us a bit unimpressed; while it was definitely a budget phone, it lacked the level of performance and no-compromise experience that the brand stood for. Today we have with us the Moto G5 Plus, evidently the more premium model. The Plus makes fewer cutbacks across the board, by having a superior set of hardware and build quality.

When will G5 Plus and Z2 Play have their full reviews published on GSMArena? Some people may need their endurance rating, studio comparison etc.

    The netwrk mode of moto g5 plus is such a disgusting, it is unstable. When u set the netwrk in 3g only, u'll get the 3g netwrk jst for few secnd n after that it will change automaticaly to 2g. So inorder to get 3g netwrk u'll have to change the netwrk mode to 4g . Again u'll get 3g for few secnd.. jst repeat the same...... This problm makes so disapointing... Fix this for me...

        Using from a month ago still performs very well

          What does it mean "with about six hours of usage possible on a full charge."

                  Nice to see the review is being worked on. I'm still hoping to see the audio quality and battery life results soon.

                            Motorola I don't think provides service to there customers , they only provides defected cell phones and rest is your duty to use. No problem will be solved at Service Centers.
                            I got the defected piece in Starting itself which I managed to return and get a new defected cellphone. You will be asked to wait for a month to listen that they don't know when it will be repaired, especially with the service center situated at Yaswant plaza Indore and even also in Bhopal.
                            Within warranty period you will understand about its poor performance and poor Service at service center. Choosing a Moto is no sense.
                            Problem faced in warranty period- no touch response, display ,over heating, hang issue etc.
                            Still in service center from a long period

It has nothing to do with hardware let alone battery of a phone. Also being no 1 pc maker doesn't change the fact that Lenovo's Chinese.

Lenovo is the number one PC maker in the world. 2. When they bought Motorola Mobility they've gained access to all the Motorola's facilities in the world, not only China. Xiaomi is China based ONLY. Just look at the logo from the Motorola smartphones batteries, they are all manufactured by Motorola Solutions (high quality).

                                    Hope the camera does not suffer from the defective and poor quality glass that was there in Moto G4+ which irked a lot of buyers!

                                      How about endurance rating ?

                                        This should get some hate for those bezels. For crying out loud, even Sony has smaller bezels!
