Moto G5S Plus hands-on review: Special first look

29 August 2017
The Moto G5S Plus is Motorola's latest budget smartphone in the Moto G lineup. Released only four months after the launch of the Moto G5 Plus, the G5S Plus should come as no surprise to anyone who saw the Motorola roadmap that was leaked back in May. What differentiates the Special Edition from the standard model is mostly the presence of a dual camera system on the back, which is in vogue these days.

Aperture does play a vital role but software implementation is another factor. Iphone 7 plus images are said to be wonderful although it has f/2.2(G5s plus - f/2.0). It's not a downgrade. Its an dual camera setup to get the best pictures out of it. Do some research while posting these type of comments.

                            Really loled up by the review. Man! I mean come on? Comparing a 16K budget device with 80K INR device? Live focus of iphone 7 plus? And though mi a1 has good live focus but what in low lighting? It's just waste camera is waste. You give final verdict without using them or what ? G5s plus camera it better than average. Low lighting shots come out really good than mi a1. And those who are thinking its google who will be providing updates to mi a1 then let me remind you its only for the software and not for the custom apps like camera, ir etc. They(Mi) will RIP camera apart with future updates as they usually do. G5s plus is really great device and yes there is lag in camera but not a big issue because its a phone and not a camera. The pics are really good with device. My choice : G5s Plus over Shitaomi A1.

Maybe they think they can fool most consumer with the dual camera setup because many think it is an upgrade.
