Moto G 5G Plus is Motorola’s most affordable 5G phone

Motorola unveiled the Moto G 5G Plus in the UK and Europe this week. The 5G-compatible handset makes wireless technology accessible faster, coming under Motorola’s mid-range Moto G line-up.

The Motorola Moto G 5G Plus offers a Full HD Plus resolution. The 6.7-inch OLED display with 90Hz refresh rate means a smoother scrolling and animation. For the selfie camera, it has a punch-hole cut-out design in the front.

Powering the affordable 5G handset is a Snapdragon 765 processor paired with up to 6GB of RAM and 128GB of expandable storage. The expansion slot goes up to 1TB. The Moto G 5G Plus only supports sub-6GHz frequency band although the Snapdragon 765 can support both sub-6GHz and mmWave bands. It’s still a welcoming move for 5G.

The rear camera setup is a quad-camera module which includes a 48-megapixel main sensor, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide, a 5-megapixel macro, and a 2-megapixel depth sensor. The selfie snappier is a two punch-hole camera arrangement, a 16-megapixel main camera and an 8-megapixel ultra-wide. The included 5,000mAh battery supports 20W TurboPower charging as well. And the traditional 3.5mm headphone jack is placed right beside the USB-C charging port.

The Moto G 5G Plus is now available in Europe. Pricing starts at €349 (around $392) for the base model with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage and €399 (around $450) for 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. It won’t be making its way to the US; Motorola says it will launch a sub-$500 5G device in North America this fall.
