In an attempt to compete in the saturated smartphone market in the Philippines, Motorola has launched their new midrange devices in the country. Meet the new Motorola Moto G5S and G5S Plus.
In the same midrange-device fashion, the new Motorola devices comes in two flavors. There’s the standard Moto G5S, and the slightly overblown G5S Plus. It would appear that the “Plus” variant got the upper hand, but the smaller G5S doesn’t look like too much of a compromise either.
Both the Moto G5S and Moto G5S Plus gets a 1080p IPS screen, with the G5S Plus only bigger at 5.5-inches, while the former has a 5.2-inch display. The G5S Plus also gets a more powerful Snapdragon 625 processor. On the other hand, the G5S rocks the Snapdragon 430.
Furthermore, the Plus variant gets to have dual 13-megapixel cameras at the back. While the standard one only has a single 16-megapixel shooter.
The Motorola Moto G5S and G5S Plus runs on Android 7.1 Nougat, with a planned upgrade to 8.0 Oreo. The two also has the same 3000mAh battery and splash resistance.
