Moto G5 Plus goes on sale from midnight with special launch offers

by

After unveiling it at the MWC 2017 last month, Moto has launched the G5 Plus in India today. The regular G5 was nowhere to be seen but it is confirmed to be coming at a later date.

The design has undergone a complete change from last year and eschews plastic in favour of a full metal unibody. The highlight of the G5 Plus is the rear snapper equipped with a F/1.7 aperture, large image sensor and dual-pixel autofocus. The front fingerprint sensor also doubles as a touch navigator although it cannot be used as a home button owing to its unclickable nature. Moto Gestures and Moto Display makes a return. The device will support Google Assistant through a separate download shortly after launch.

Available in Lunar Grey and Fine Gold colours, the Moto G5 Plus is priced at Rs.14,999 for the 3+16GB variant and Rs.16,999 for the 4+32GB model. The 64GB storage option has been dropped in favour of pricing the device more competitively. It will be selling exclusively on Flipkart starting from 16/3/2017 midnight with special launch day offers including 10% SBI cashback, exchange price bonus and a special ‘Buyback Guarantee Plan’.

MWC 2017: Moto G5 and G5 Plus officially announced

by

Although various leaks already divulged much about the G5 (shown above) and G5 Plus, Lenovo officially took to the stage to unveil them. Both the devices are set to succeed the G4 and G4 Plus launched in May 2016 last year.

The devices have adopted a metal clad body this time around making it a big change from the plastic body of the G4. The G5 is the smaller of the two while the Plus edition is larger and has a better processor. The rear camera in the G5 comes with a f/2.0 aperture while the G5 Plus gets a better f/1.7 aperture. Another departure for the G5 is the removable battery although that doesn’t seem to be the case for the G5 Plus.

Lenovo also brought attention to new mods for the Moto Z series. A new battery mod with 50% more battery life and smart charging mechanism along with a mod for wireless charging were shown. An Amazon Alexa mod was also showcased but it remains to be seen whether it will be come to India. A gamepad mod with additional storage and four speakers was also presented.

Both the devices will be available globally from March 2017 with the new mods following suit. No Indian pricing has been announced yet.
