The Lenovo Moto G5S Plus once again redefines the word "budget."

Excellent value for money; Solid performance; Good battery life; Excellent software experience

Micro USB port – it's 2017; Lackluster camera

What happens when Motorola tries to release a better version of the Moto G5 Plus - the best budget smartphone around - in the same year? In this case, it succeeds. The Moto G5S Plus is a special edition of the G5 Plus with an improved design, camera system, and a bigger display.

Great unibody design, Excellent battery life, Unlocked; works on every carrier

Poor camera; No NFC; No USB-C

Just half a year after their release, the Moto G5 and G5 Plus will each be replaced by new models that bear an S suffix. For this review, we took a look at the Moto G5S Plus to see if the early facelift is justified, or if Motorola should have waited for the right moment before retiring the young,...

Headphone jack; Beautiful design; Fast charging; 1.5 days battery life; Dual SIM

Outdated software; Too expensive for mid-range; Flawed camera focus effect

Motorola has taken its budget darling, the G5 Plus , and tweaked it just enough to deliver an even better package. There are three key areas in which the G5S Plus outperforms the cheaper G5 Plus: screen size, design and the presence of an all-new dual 13-megapixel camera setup.

Excellent display; Premium design; Speedy performance; Long-lasting battery

Unremarkable dual cameras, U.S; model lacks NFC, Slow Wi-Fi

It's been a few years since the Motorola that we knew and loved was replaced by what I like to call Lenovorola. Gone are the quick updates, Moto Maker, and a lot of other things that made Motorola great; instead, we now have a ton of different models, super slow ( or potentially nonexistent )...

Design The metal body is all grown up; and makes the phone look and feel much more expensive than it is; Display 1080p is perfectly adequate; and viewing angles are great; Fingerprint sensor It's quick; and it can even replace the nav buttons; Performance Unless you're doing some serious gaming; it...

Camera(s They're nothing special; and are lackluster in some crucial respects; NFC It's not here; so if you use mobile payments; you're SOL; microUSB I still put the connector in upside-down every time; Price Its MSRP has gone up by $50 from the G5 Plus's; despite there not being many improvements

The Moto G5S Plus is an incredibly compelling piece of hardware. We crowned its younger sibling the Moto G5 Plus the king of budget back in April of this year, and this newer ‘S' variant improves upon this model in every way.

Great build quality Punchy LCD screen Fantastic battery life Simplistic UI Useful "Moto Actions

Outdated micro-USB Sub-par speakers Low-quality camera(s

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 camera will appeal to Instagram fans.

Bigger screen; Smart and streamlined UI; Sleek design

None of us here know exactly where Lenovo is putting their money, but if I had to guess, I'd be pretty comfortable saying they care much more about their mid-range and budget-friendly phones than the flagship stuff.

The Moto G5S Plus is Motorola's latest budget smartphone in the Moto G lineup. Released only four months after the launch of the Moto G5 Plus, the G5S Plus should come as no surprise to anyone who saw the Motorola roadmap that was leaked back in May.
