14 DAY TRIAL // Motorola, under the direct supervision of Lenovo, is expected to unveil two new mid-range handsets next month at Mobile World Congress (MWC), the Moto G5 and Moto G5 Plus.
We've already reported about the Moto G5 Plus, as the smartphone was leaked by someone in Romania who wanted to sell his prototype unit. Thanks to that listing, we know a couple of things about the specs inside Motorola's upcoming G5 Plus, but we also know what the smartphone will look like.
Now, we also know how much the G5 Plus and its smaller sibling will cost. Both smartphones have been recently listed at Brazilian retailer Bemol, although we believe these are just placeholders that might change once Motorola makes the devices official.
Until then, it's worth mentioning the Moto G5 will be available for purchase, at least in Brazil, for €325 outright, while the Moto G5 Plus is priced to sell for €440.
The former is supposed to pack a more than decent 2GHz octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor, coupled with 4GB of RAM and 32GB of internal memory (expandable via microSD card).
The Moto G5 will be powered by a 3,000 mAh battery that features Turbo Charge technology, and it will sport a 5-inch display that supports full HD (1080p) resolution. Dual-SIM and NFC (Near Field Connectivity) are included too, along with Android Pay support.
Its bigger brother, the Moto G5 Plus, features a large 5.5-inch display with the same FHD (1080p) resolution. Also, users will find the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 chipset inside, along with 4GB of RAM and 32GB of storage.
However, the Moto G5 Plus will include a slightly larger 3,100 mAh battery with Turbo Charge fast charging technology. Rumor has it that a 3GB model might be launched on the market as well.
Both Moto G5 and Moto G5 Plus will ship with Android 7.0 Nougat operating system right out of the box. The Brazilian retailer confirms the smartphones will be available in Black and Gold, but other color options might be announced next month.
