CAMERA RETRO CASE MOTO G5 PLUS PLUS
Thankfully, the G5 Plus rights this wrong, ditching the 5.5-inch display for a much more manageable 5.2-inch version and while there’s still a chunky bezel running around the display it can be comfortably used in one hand. It was huge, ungainly and too big for the budget-conscious customer Moto was aiming at. My main issue with the Moto G4 Plus was its size. I’d suggest you stick with the less offensive Grey model.īut, I can live with a slightly dodgy design when there’s so much else to like about this phone. The colour options too are poor with the gold model being a very tacky shade. The difference between the metal portions and the plastic are obvious when you hold it and it doesn’t feel that durable.
It’s lost the charm, instead looking like any other budget phone. It’s true there is metal here, but there’s a lot of plastic acting as metal, too, and I think it sort of looks ugly. Moto and Lenovo are clearly trying to match budget options from Honor and Huawei by replacing the plastic body with metal. They were never ugly though, they were just simple and got the basics right. They were plastic phones done well, and they withstood serious amounts of wear and tear. I always quite liked the unabashed ruggedness of the Moto G series. It’s not much of a looker, but there isn’t anything better phone for the £249.99/$229.99 price-tag. Adding a better camera, faster internals and a couple of handy extras, such as NFC. The new G5 Plus is Moto’s attempt to take what makes the G5 so special, and pimp it up a bit.
Others have crammed in more specs and often a lower price, but none have constructed a phone that actually works like something that’s double the price. For years now the Moto G5 has been the pinnacle of budget smartphones.
