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

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

Outdated micro-USB Sub-par speakers Low-quality camera(s

The Moto G series has been one of the most popular series in the budget/mid-range segment in the country (many people say the first Moto G actually changed the Indian mobile phone market) and the company has now added the Moto G5s and the Moto G5s Plus to it – interestingly, after introducing the...

Improved camera; Smooth Performance; Stock Android UI

Average Battery Life; Camera cannot handle glare; Takes time to process some images

Bigger screen; Smart and streamlined UI; Sleek design

The Lenovo Moto G5S Plus is a new alternative to the . Arriving just a few months later, it makes you wonder: "why?" Whatever the answer, even though we think the original G5 Plus is great, there are real improvements here.

Great value; Much improved build; Good daylight photos

Slow; slightly buggy camera
