The Moto G5 boasts of a unimetal body and features splash resistant properties, which protects your device from water splashes, at times. It flaunts a 5-inch Full HD display, carrying a pixel density of 441 PPI. The phone also has a fingerprint sensor located below the screen, same as the Moto G5 Plus.
The phone is powered by the octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 chipset, paired with 3GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage. It also has Adreno 505 GPU to handle the graphic intensive tasks.
As seen on other Motorola devices, the Moto G5 runs near stock Android Nougat with subtle Moto customizations such as Moto actions, etc. The phone has a small 2800mAh battery, which is removable.
Camera wise, the Moto G5 rocks a 13MP sensor at the rear, coupled with dual-tone LED flash and PDAF technology. Up front, there’s a 5MP OmniVision OV5693 sensor, which can capture wide-angle selfies. The phone comes with support for 4G LTE, VoLTE, Wi-Fi 802.11/b/g/n, Bluetooth, GPS, and micro USB port. Sadly, there’s no support for NFC here. The phone can accept two SIM cards and has a dedicated microSD card slot for storage expansion.
