Lenovo has launched the Moto G5 plus in India with a starting price of Rs. 14,999, while the company is expected to launch the Moto G5 with a removable back panel at a later date.
The Moto G5 Plus is a big departure from its predecessor, the Moto G4 plus. For starters, the Moto G5 plus has an all metal unibody design, while the Moto G4 Plus only had a polycarbonate construction.
The Moto G5 also is running on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 625, a chipset that was used in the Moto Z Play, the company’s sub-flagship smartphone in 2016. On the front the Moto G5 Plus has a 5.2 inch LCD display along with a 1920 x 1080p resolution. It comes with Gorilla Glass 3 cover which gives it additional scratch and damage protection. The Moto G5 Plus also runs Android 7.0 out of the box that comes along with some simple customisations from Moto. You also get the usual Moto gestures, that include double chop for flashlight, and a twist of the wrist for quick launch of the Camera. What’s interesting is that you can now use the oval fingerprint sensor as a one button navigation tool. You can swipe left and right to go back or launch the multi-tasking window. You can also press it down to lock the screen or press it down longer to launch the Google Assistant.
Perhaps the most exciting feature is the camera now comes with 4k Video recording at 30FPS which is a first for phones in this price bracket. The rear camera comes with a 12MP dual pixel lens and the front has a 5MP camera. You can also capture Slo-Mo video at 720p/120FPS.
The Moto G5 Plus Goes on sale at midnight tonight.
