Starting off with the bigger sibling, Moto G5S Plus, it sports a 5.5-inch display, up from the 5.2-inch screen seen on the Moto G5 Plus. Only the screen size is increased, and the resolution is still the same at 1080 * 1920 pixels.

The Moto G5S Plus is the company’ second smartphone with dual camera setup. Motorola has added a 13MP primary sensor, along with an 8MP secondary sensor at the back. The former captures the standard RGB shots, while the latter captures depth in the images. The G5S Plus also has a better 8MP front-facing camera, unlike the 5MP unit seen on the Moto G5 Plus. Motorola also included a Portrait mode as well.

Rest of the specifications are similar: the smartphone is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 chipset, coupled with 3GB/4GB of RAM. The internal storage is bumped to 32GB/64GB from the 16GB/32GB seen on the G5 Plus. That said, there’ still a dedicated microSD card slot for storage expansion. The device boots Android 7.1.1 Nougat, and is backed by a 3000mAh battery.

Unlike the Moto G5S Plus, the Moto G5S sports a single camera setup, same as the Moto G5. However, Motorola has improved the rear camera and has now gone with a better 16MP sensor with support for PDAF. The phone, however, comes with the same 5MP front-facing camera as the Moto G5.
