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.

Again stuck with the choice between Lenovo K8 Note and Moto G5S Plus... Price is not the issue.. just reliability for long time at least 3 years is required.. won't be able to change phone for as long as 3 years... Primary requirements are Camera, Battery and Storage but again the long term reliability is first.....

Please help finding the best ..

        Blurring the line between the G5 series and the upcoming Moto X even more.

        Is it a matter of in some places the Moto G is a better known brand, while other regions know the Moto X?

          no usb-c is a pro, actually. The vast majority of accessories come with standard micro usb port. There was no need for another, different port. Micro usb was perfect and interchangeable. Now just annoyances for customers (adapters and such)

            I have the impression that a 100% larger sensor would be better than two small sensors. Especially in good light there does not seem to be an advantage except a depth effect.

              G4 Plus beats all G5s in camera quality. In daylight it resolves a lot more details.

                I thought it would be SD 630 or at least the same as Z2 Play with SD 626. Minor upgrade. But still look become a good device like the predecessor.

                    Does the G5 S Plus have a Compass Sensor?

                      While going through handful of hands on videos, I noticed the somewhat slower processing and even here, this is confirmed. Maybe SD625 or what but this spoils as dual cam is the only major difference for this special edition. Moto continues to disappoint under Lenovo.
