The design team behind the Moto G5 Plus certainly took inspiration from Microsoft's Lumia 950 XL. Even the camera app is strikingly similar.

And no mate, I haven't touched a Note 4, I think, cause I don't see any infection on my hand yet and I'd like to keep it that way.

Okay, this review from the Indian subcontinent is too harsh. First of all the Moto G5 Plus offers flagship camera specs for a mid-range smartphone, the camera settings options are great and the image quality is very good too (as viewers can see & as you yourself have said).
Then why does the last line say "Overall, a satisfactory performance....". That is a very good performance especially from a mid-range and definitely not just "satisfactory". Infact, even many flagships of today don't have Dual Pixel autofocus and f/1.7 aperture.

Yes overlay is subjective. Someone may like theme engine and customisability of miui and some fluidity and simplicity of stock.
You clearly haven't held a note 4 have you?
Camera is better on Moto. Need to repeat this?
So many 12 yo guys here really....

Nothing beats vanilla Android, LoL, and MIUI is poor, simple. Build quality? Really? Are you kidding or something? Motorolas are one of the best built phones out there. And the camera is better. I should stop here really.
But for sure, go for the Ximi phones, they give better specs in same or lower price, in the end specs all that matters on a mobile phone for sure.

To be fair to English, the performance problems are not small but in the hands of user whose hands get heated when the phone is stuck, it is more irritating and infuriating.

With google pushing android pay so hard, you would think they'd include NFC. The chip is outdated too

Unfortunately all Lenovo attempts to keep Moto brand alive look disappointing. Even if they offer top-notch hardware and lightning-fast updates, sorry for being pathetic, but the soul of Motorola seems to be lost and sold. Motorola phones have always feeled and looked different and have been maybe more on emotional rather than hi-tech side, but that was the point. In terms of design and materials, none of the upcoming G's, E's, C's etc. can offer anything unique or emotion evoking, imho. X series with Moto Maker looked really fresh, body curves and ergonomics, material selection looked like nothing on the market. It's a pity that Lenovo killed the X's along with G's in terms of well-crafted design, while well known brands keep exploiting same design ideas for years and years without major changes.

ithehappy, 22 May 2017So you feel proud that India is floated with crap like Xiao... more1 this design is atrocious. It's a blot on design of original Moto g or x. Why change it if it is awesome
2 you're acting like it isn't owned by Lenovo which is Chinese
3 to think this will receive more than a year worth of updates... Can't even think about how ridiculous it is plus it's new model is also leaked after which it'll be forgotten
4 only advantage Moto now has over the other brands is stock Android and best camera in this budget nothing else. OS ovelay is subjective. Only other pro is camera
5 you clearly haven't used any recent mi phone. Wake me up when you do
6 oppo and vivo are bad yeah you're right about that. Le eco is non existent here.
