Notebookcheck reviews the Motorola Moto G5s in detail. Compared to its predecessor, the Moto G5, the 'special edition' has a better camera, but is not intended to succeed and replace its predecessor. The camera's sensor now has a resolution of 16 MP but a dual camera will be available only on the Plus-Model.
