Moto G5S Plus

Moto G5S Plus review: Moto is back at doing what it does best, and that's making fantastic budget phones. The Moto G5S Plus might be the best yet.

Great value ; Much improved build ; Good daylight photos

Slow, slightly buggy camera

The Moto G5S Plus has a different camera array to its closest sibling, the Moto G5 Plus. Instead of using a single 16-megapixel rear camera it has two 13-megapixel rear cameras, with a lens aperture of f/2.0.

Moto G5S Plus review

Moto's affordable, big-screened smartphone

Upgraded full metal shell ; Very good value ; Good battery life

Significant camera shutter lag ; Battery no bigger than G5S ; Occasional app crashes

More metal, more screen, good battery life and a still-great price make the Moto G5S Plus one of the best affordable Androids around.

Motorola Moto G5S Plus review: Still good but outclassed by the Moto G7

The Moto G5S Plus remains one of the most affordable Android phones, but the Moto G7 is much better

Upgraded metal frame ; Good value ; Upgraded metal frame

Camera not great at night ; Camera shutter lag

The Moto G5S Plus comes across as the phone the Moto G5 Plus could, or perhaps should, have been. It gets rid of the plastic parts of the build and brings back a large screen, making it better for Netflix and gaming, and any awkwardness of its...

Motorola Moto G5s Plus Review: Special edition smartphone packing a dual-lens camera

We already love the Moto G5 Plus and Motorola has just super-sized it in the form of the special edition Moto G5s Plus. Packing a...

Bigger screen ; Smart and streamlined UI ; Sleek design

Dual lens camera no marked improvement

Overall, the Moto G5s Plus improves on the already-great G5 Plus, offering a lot for less than £300 here in the UK. Refined design work, a bigger display and that same vanilla Android interface makes for a strong all-rounder, while the improved selfie...

Motorola Moto G5S Plus review

The Motorola Moto G5S Plus is a mid-range smartphone with some impressive-looking specs. It has a large 5.5-inch display and two rear camera lenses, but does that amount to beautiful shots, or will you be disappointed? Find out everything you need to...

Motorola Moto G5S Plus review: A lot of phone for a very reasonable price

A definite step up in design and function from the Moto G5 Plus – the most desirable Moto phone yet

The Moto G5S Plus is the most desirable Moto G handset we’ve seen in a long time. It’s certainly an improvement on the original G5 Plus: the larger screen is better for games and videos, and the unibody casing makes it feels much more like a premium...

Moto G5S Plus Dual-Camera Review

We review the new Moto G5S Plus, the entry-level smartphone from Motorola, with dual 13mp cameras.

Dual cameras have been used on smartphones to enable different lenses, for example, an ultra-wide angle lens and wide-angle lens on the LG G5 / G6 , or a wide-angle and a telephoto lens, on the iPhone 7 Plus and 8 Plus , or dual cameras with different...

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.
