    The Moto G5s Plus comes six months after the release of the Motorola G5 Plus. For those of you that don’t know, Motorola has been a subsidiary of Lenovo since 2014. The Moto G5 Plus is a mid-range smartphone that performed well in our tests but was let down by its average rear-facing camera. The Moto G5 Plus only had a single camera despite its giant camera housing. The Moto G5s Plus corrects this by adding a secondary camera sensor. Incidentally, Motorola has increased the screen size to 5.5-inch, which is 0.3-inches larger than its predecessor. The display maintains the same 1920x1080 resolution and the device is equipped with the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 SoC, 3 GB RAM and 32 GB of internal storage.
