The processor is Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 630, the chip maker’s newest midrange silicon. On the other hand, in terms of specs, it may be too similar to the Moto G5 Plus to really make a splash. From the outside, it looks nothing like the previous versions: You’ll find chunky bezels, super-reflective glass construction, and dual cameras. That designation has shifted to the modular Moto Z in recent years, but now the company is reviving the Moto X as a midrange product. Once upon a time, the Moto X was billed as Motorola’s flagship. Who it’s for: Someone who wants flagship-quality dual cameras in an otherwise midrange device Moto G5S Plus Review Moto X4 / Android One Moto X4 Andy Boxall/Digital Trends The link to our G5S Plus review is below, but if you’re more interested in the standard G5 Plus, read our review of that here. If you spend $50 more, you can have double the storage and RAM, making the G5 Plus one of the best values under the $300 mark. For $230, you get a Snapdragon 625 processor - a step up from the 430 found in the regular G5 and G5S - as well as a 5.2-inch 1080p display and 2GB of RAM. The Moto G5 Plus, the G5S Plus’s predecessor, was one of our favorite budget smartphones this year. The base model of G5S Plus has an extra gigabyte of RAM for a total of 3GB, though 4GB is an option. It’s also got dual cameras, both rated at 13-megapixels, replacing the G5 Plus’ single 12-megapixel shooter. The G5S Plus is slightly bigger than the regular G5 Plus, with a 5.5-inch display at the same resolution. Who it’s for: Someone who wants a jack-of-all-trades midrange phone under $300īut what of the G5S Plus? If you’re interested in a Moto G5 in the U.S., it’s probably the one to get. Moto G5 Plus and G5S Plus Kyle Wiggers/Digital Trends Bottom line? You’re best spending a bit more (or a bit less) on something else. The batteries are substantially less than what Motorola phones like the E4 Plus offers too, and the cameras are average at best. The processors aren’t noticeably faster, and the designs aren’t radically different. To be honest, there’s not much reason to go with the G5 or G5S in the context of Motorola’s larger lineup. Otherwise, they’re the same - both have a 5.2-inch 1080p display and 2GB of RAM. Both the Moto G5 and G5S sport Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 430 processor, though the G5S features a slightly improved battery (3,000mAh versus 2,800mAh) a 16-megapixel rear camera to instead of the regular model’s 13-megapixel shooter and a metal body instead of plastic. The standard Moto G5 isn’t available in the U.S., nor is the slightly improved Moto G5S - but the Moto G5 and the Moto G5S Plus are available. Here’s where things get a little confusing. Who it’s for: Someone who wants a full HD display in a compact package We say if you have the extra $50 to burn, spring for the Plus over the standard E4 - you’ll have a budget phone that does something even the four-times more expensive Apple iPhone 7, Samsung Galaxy S8, and Google Pixel 2 XL. It easily lasts two days without breaking a sweat, and three is certainly doable. Coupled with the phone’s frugal Snapdragon 427 processor and 720p display, the E4 delivers incredible longevity on a charge. Motorola stuffed a 5,000mAh unit into the E4 Plus’ 5.5-inch chassis. We called the Moto E4 Plus the best smartphone under $200 when we reviewed it earlier in the summer, and that’s mostly down to one standout feature: The almost un-killable battery. Who it’s for: Someone who wants the best battery life, and doesn’t need a powerful phone Moto E4 Review Moto E4 Plus Adam Ismail/Digital Trends Moto G7: Which budget phone is your best bet? New Moto G 5G Plus does phones in 2020 right, delivering specs and value Motorola Moto G Power (2021): Budget battleground
