Moto G5S Plus review

The Moto G5S Plus is one of the most balanced phones Motorola has on offer and it's selling at a really attractive price. And we finally got round to reviewing it, that is. Oh well, our timing isn't spot on but the package and the price are.

Lenovo Moto G5S Plus review

The Lenovo Moto G5S Plus once again redefines the word “budget.”

Excellent value for money ; Solid performance ; Good battery life ; Excellent software experience

Micro USB port – it’s 2017 ; Lackluster camera

The Lenovo Moto G5S Plus once again redefines the word “budget.” It offers excellent value for money, better performance than others in this price range, and an awesome software experience. Nothing’s perfect – as shown by the camera – but for the...

Motorola Moto G5s Plus Smartphone Review

Good but is it better? The Moto G5 Plus impressed us in our recent review. Lenovo has now released a successor six months later with a dual rear-camera system. Can the Moto G5s Plus overcome one of the weaker points of its predecessor?

dual SIM ; support for up to a 256 GB microSD ; good cameras ; well-constructed case ; clear phone calls ; good front camera ; responsive touchscreen ; precise gyroscope ; fingerprint sensor & gestures ; useful additional software ; good battery life ;...

GPS still needs improving ; annoying questions during set-up ; dual camera system is not overly convincing

The Motorola Moto G5s Plus is a great mid-range smartphone that does not have any significant drawbacks. The battery life is strong, the display is bright, the performance is reasonable, while the workmanship and case stability are excellent. Notably,...

Moto G5S Plus Review

Today we're checking out one of the latest entries to this well-respected series, the Moto G5S Plus. With dual cameras and a metal body, does this phone manage to still feel pretty premium despite a wallet-friendly price tag? Let's take a look.

Decent value ; Great battery life ; Attractive build

No real waterproofing (nano-coat only) ; Aging micro-USB port ; Bokeh effect produces underwhelming results

Moto G5S Plus review: Get creative with the dual camera for $300

You will soon be able to order an Apple iPhone X for $1,149 or you can pay a quarter of that for a smartphone that offers most of what you need.

Snappy performance with pure Android OS experience ; Best standby screen of all Androids ; Productive multi-function home button/fingerprint scanner ; Radios support AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile, and more ; Long battery life ; Handy Moto Actions...

No NFC, so no Android Pay support ; MicroUSB still used for charging

Moto G5S Plus Review: One of the best mid-range smartphone you can buy in 2017

Motorola Moto G5S Plus features Full HD screen and runs the stock Android 7.1.1 Nougat.

Best-in-class software performance ; Premium and Sturdy design ; Moto actions are very useful ; Responsive and vibrant screen

Dual-lens camera implementation needs refinement ; Battery backup is not the best in this price-point ; No NFC

Moto G5S Plus review: this is a budget phone?

The Moto G5S Plus builds upon the previous G5 Plus to deliver a near-flagship-level experience for a fraction of the cost.

Great build quality ; Punchy LCD screen ; Fantastic battery life ; Simplistic UI ; Useful "Moto Actions"

Outdated micro-USB ; Sub-par speakers ; Low-quality camera(s)

Moto G5S Plus review: Steadily advancing on flagship territory, but it's not clear why

It's been a few years since the Motorola that we knew and loved was replaced by what I like to call Lenovorola. Gone are the quick updates, Moto Maker,

Design ; The metal body is all grown up, and makes the phone look and feel much more expensive than it is. ; Display ; 1080p is perfectly adequate, and viewing angles are great. ; Fingerprint sensor ; It's quick, and it can even replace the nav...

Camera(s) ; They're nothing special, and are lackluster in some crucial respects. ; NFC ; It's not here, so if you use mobile payments, you're SOL. ; microUSB ; I still put the connector in upside-down every time. ; Price ; Its MSRP has gone up by $50...

The Moto G5S Plus is much more of an evolution than a revolution, but that's what we expected given the "S" branding. It brings a nicer metal design, an excellent display, smooth performance, a long-lasting battery, and close-to-stock software. The...
