The Moto G5S is slightly on the steeper side, but the G5S Plus at Rs 13,999 is a worth deal, at least for people who're looking for a Motorola phone. There's the Xiaomi Mi A1 available in the same price range, of course, it's available for a little less at Rs 12,999.
The Moto G5S Plus, when launched wasn't a great phone. Cameras in the device were poor, but the camera application has been tweaked now, and it's on par with other budget devices such as the Mi A1.
Additionally, the software has some Moto tricks too. Motorola is not the same company as it was earlier when it comes to software updates and monthly security patch updates, but it makes sure to provide a reliable software experience. The Android 7.1 Nougat UI on the G5S Plus is buttery smooth when compared to Mi A1's quirks.
Battery life is another aspect to consider Motorola devices, and the 3000mAh unit on the G5S Plus delivers a complete day of battery life with a single charge.
Motorola has reduced the price at the perfect time, and hopefully, the price remains the same in the future too.
