Moto G5s Plus 64 GB Blush Gold (4 GB RAM)

I am writing this review after 10 months. So here I am sharing my personal experiences with this phone:

First of all thanks to Bajaj Estore for its prompt delivery and thanks to Seller Darshita Electronics for sending this product in good condition.

Pros:
Build Quality: Very good build quality
Performance: Performance is very good no lags are experienced till now.
Sound Quality: Good but not much loud. I liked it personally.
Camera Quality: Good in Outdoor also 4K video recording is bundled.
FingerPrint Scanner: Responsive scanner. It detects the finger print quite fast.
Battery Backup: Good if you are on Android Nougat. It stays almost one day of heavy usage.
TurboCharging: Fast charging is available on this device and it charges quickly.

Cons:

Camera Quality: Disappointed with image processing from this camera. i can say it was below average. The Dual Camera setup was a disappointment. But soon Motorola had released the camera updates and it improved in brilliant extent. I can say the Dual camera is properly implemented after lot of updates from Motorola. Color reproduction of this camera is a below average it did not process the image if i compare it with Google camera which is installed in my device and also very surprised that images shot with Google camera app are far better than the Motorola's stock camera app as it is using same sensor. Don't know why Motorola is not working on the camera quality.

Camera Bumps: As we know that Camera Bumps are bit outwards on this model so there is a chance for scratches on the camera glass so better to have a protective back cover with camera protection.

Regular Updates: Updates are not in the list of Motorola as they are focusing on their new models so ignoring the previous models. I have recently got the Oreo updates after so much waiting. Very poor service when it comes to the updates from Motorola.

Battery backup: Battery backup deteriorates after upgrading to Android Oreo. I have noticed the next day i have to charge two time a day after upgrading. Now waiting for the next update hope this will be fixed in next update.

Final Verdict: If you are a camera freak and expecting for some brilliant shots then this phone will give you an average quality so better think for other options available in the market. But if you are an average user with some budget restrictions then go for it.

The above said are my experiences with this phone and my overall rating for this phone will be 3.5.

Few highlights after 1 year of usage:-

1) Battery: Lasts a day or more. Depends heavily on the usage. Sometimes drains with 4G and draining apps.
2) Camera: Expected a bit more from the camera especially the dual lens setup from Moto. It does a decent job but not top notch. Don't expect OnePlus like pictures (obviously) without editing. Selfie camera is good enough though.
3) Software: Bad experience here. Motorola management and devs need to up their game because we're getting Android Oreo after almost a year while Motorola promised it in early 2018. Only security patch updates were provided for a 16k phone with other competitors in the market. Software experience is stock though which is very good, no bloatware.
4) Gestures: I think the gestures and one button navigation is one of the good features of this smartphone. I use it on a daily basis (gestures only, not a big fan of single button navigation gestures but many people like it).
5) Turbo Charger: Very good, provides a brilliant amount of charge in less time. One of the good that I've seen. But the cable plastic end got frayed.
6) Display & Design: Top notch for the price. One of the good in this price segment. However, the design gets wasted if you put it in a case :)
7) Rest: Snapdragon 625, 4GB RAM, 64GB Storage, no complaints here. Performance wise its good! (Funny though that Moto G6 has Snapdragon 450 for the same price at launch! What are you doing Moto?).

I ordered this phone just before one day of launch and got this very next day. Thank you Bajaj Estore for superfast delivery.
Coming to phone, I ordered it as my primary phone but recently i have started using it as secondary phone and as per me the performance is satisfactory. I will not tell the technical details but yes will write the things that i observed and can cause trouble.
1. Phone camera lags badly in depth mode, hoping for a software update from Motorola.
2. Sometime apps crashes when you are using them.
3. Phone call quality is good but speaker volume is less.
4. Battery works pretty fine, with heavy usage you can get phone working for a full day.
5. Photos taken from camera are crisp and you can record 4k video as well. But camera bump on back is not a good idea.
6. Phone feels slippery without cover.
7. Fingerprint sensor is amazingly fast.
8. Phone heats up while charging, this could be due to turbi charging but not very sure.
9. Screen quality is pretty impressive.

Rest apart phone is good not brilliant but at this price what you will expect ?

Mobile is good but now its a old fashioned design since it is 16:9 scrren.
◆ Camera quality is average, front camera quality is very poor.
•Video shooting of DJ sound gives very noise, bass sound is not captured in video recording, so can't use for Youtube videos.
◆ Battery Life is very poor. Normal use with internet ON can give backup of upto 6 to 7 Hrs only.
◆ Very Basic sensors like IR blaster, magnetic sensor (for compass app) are not available.
◆ Camera Notch is impressive, looks good but is much raised from the body that can cause damage to lens and also not comfortable in pocket.

◆ Fast charging is impressive because tge battery capacity is only 3000 mAh. Low charging storage, so it fills fast. The charger can't make impression while charging a phone with 4000 mAh battery.

●●●Overall, Mobile is good for the price of Not More Than Rs 10,000/- ●●●

◆◆◆ I got it at 10,000/- with 1 year Acko subscription.◆◆◆

I bought this phone under exchange and card payment. I got this phone in 11k only. Being a photographer I liked Depth of field effect of this phone.
Dont expect much in low light conditions
Day time you will get good shots. Camera processing is quite slow. But worth waiting.
Over-all processing is fast. No heating issue found so far. No Lag thats to SD 625 and 4GB ram.
only concerns about this phone is covers. As the camera is coming out of body finding suitable cover is hard. But manage from some kickstand covers. Attaching test photos.

Been using it four months. It's not that good. The dual camera doesn't take good pics in night or low lighting. Even the daylight pics are not so brilliant.
Processing has become slow in just three months. Google maps take time to load. (whether on wifi or 4G network).
Needless to say, the phone feels quite bulky/heavy.
Battery last for about 12 hours.
The original build is very slippery - definitely needs a cover with better grip to handle. Otherwise it slips out and falls too often.

Screen size is good and viewing experience is good.

The phone is amazing...., it has a premium look ....good feel in the hand.... stock Android 7.1.1 is simply amazing….this phone is perfect for me…..worth the price…..

The phone charges very quickly with the turbo charger….the phone charges in few minutes for use…..charges full in an hour….it has a good battery backup...

The Front camera is super but the primary camera is just ok. Fingerprint lock is simply awesome….the best thing is that this phone is water and splash proof……

Superb phone with full of features….. I love the Moto Actions….. The battery very good too….performance is also good. All my games and apps run very smoothly.
