The Moto G5 Plus has had an unassuming release. You probably haven't seen much advertising outside maybe an Amazon ad or two. There hasn't been a ton of buzz about the phone due to it being released between the LG G6 and the Samsung Galaxy S8 along with i...
Build Quality, Pricing, Fingerprint Sensor, Camera, Battery Life
Micro USB connector instead of USB-C, Smaller Display than its predecessor, No Google Assistant out of the box, No NFC
The Moto G series has been Motorola's most popular line of smartphones, ever. It even beat the RAZR which was hugely popular, back in the day when feature phones reign supreme. This is largely because Motorola put together a smartphone that had all of the...

A mostly-premium design despite low price, Runs like a flagship phone most of the time, Long battery life, Works on any carrier
Large bezels cancel out compact screen, Camera doesn't live up to expectations, Software updates aren't guaranteed
Solid metal-clad design, Pure Android Nougat with useful enhancements, Reliable performance, The best camera in its segment, Superb battery life
One-button navigation is difficult to get accustomed to, Doesn't ship with Google Assistant, Underwhelming speaker output, Priced higher than the competition, Photos by Raj Rout
Moto is promoting the smartphone using the hashtag #Uncompromise, i.e, a smartphone that doesn't compromise on any aspect and delivers an all-round experience. We would certainly agree with that as the phone comes across as a complete package – something...

Lacks NFC (U.S. version), Subpar camera quality, Chrome trim cheapens the design
The Moto G5 Plus continues the tradition of what the Moto G line has always been. It's a good, inexpensive smartphone with a no frills approach. If that's all you need, that is exactly what the Moto G5 Plus will provide...

Nikon's 28mm F1.4E ED appears to roundly complete the company's updated lineup of fast, professional prime lenses. We've already seen some initial images from a Nikon ambassador, but we've worked through a gallery of our own, with a lens of our own over t...

Good design and feel, improved camera, excellent display for the price, fingerprint sensor (Moto G Plus), clean version of Android, SDcard slot
Reasonable but not impressive performance
With their comfortable feel, excellent displays, good cameras and day-long battery life, the Moto G phones are fine choices if you want to spend less for your next Android smartphone. Considering its better camera and fingerprint sensor, I'd strongly cons...
Very affordable, works with all major carriers, quality and customer service despite low price. Good cameras, 3DMark Sling Shot: 384
These are large phones, old Moto G owners who like small phones will be disappointed. Occasional lag, The Moto G Plus has a fingerprint scanner on the front, which the Moto G lacks. The scanner works very well, and our only complaint is that we kept press

Very good detail preservation in bright light, Fast and accurate autofocus in all lighting conditions, Good noise reduction in bright light, In most outdoor scenes, colors are vivid and pleasant, In lowlight and indoor conditions, the white balance is goo
In several outdoor shots, some loss of details in the dark parts of the image, Slight blue cast sometimes visible in outdoor scenes, Some irregularities in HDR activation and white balance are visible, Cyan shift close to sky saturation visible in outdoor
