As a refresher, the Moto G5S sports a 5.2-inch Full HD display and is powered by the Snapdragon 430 chipset. It has 4 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage, which you can expand with a microSD card in case you need more.

The device is equipped with a 16 MP camera with an f/2.0 aperture and phase detection autofocus, while the front-facing selfie snapper features a 5 MP sensor. It packs a 3,000 mAh battery with TurboPower support, which promises to provide up to five hours of battery life in just 15 minutes of charging. Other things worth mentioning are a metal body, a fingerprint scanner located on the front, and Android 7.1 Nougat out of the box.

Moving on to the Moto G5S Plus, the device comes with a larger 5.5-inch Full HD display and a more powerful Snapdragon 625 chipset. It also has 4 GB of RAM but offers more storage at 64 GB, which is expandable. You’ll find a dual-camera setup on the back with two 13 MP sensors and an 8 MP selfie snapper up front.
