Not everyone wants, needs, or can afford a flagship-class smartphone, so we're grateful to have a market with no shortage of mid-range phone options. But while those budget-priced offerings from some manufacturers feel like afterthoughts, other phone-mak...

The Moto G5S Plus mainly exists as a slightly-larger-screened variant of the smaller Moto G5 phones, and there it succeeds. The phone has the sort of 5.5-inch screen that a lot of users prefer to more petite panels, and here we get it without any big comp...

What happens when Motorola tries to release a better version of the Moto G5 Plus — the best budget smartphone around — in the same year? In this case, it succeeds. The Moto G5S Plus is a special edition of the G5 Plus with an improved design, camera syste...

The Moto G5S Plus is better than the G5 Plus in tangible ways — the build quality and the display are better and bigger, respectively — but with a $50 price jump over its predecessor, the G5S Plus probably isn't the budget king for most people if your...

What exactly quantifies a budget smartphone? Is it a price point resting below a certain level? A lack of any flagship-level features? Or an outdated design compared to today's standards?The answer is different for almost everyone, but one thing is for ce...

Lenovo announced the Moto G5S Plus as a sort of special edition of the Moto G5 Plus from last year with similar, but slightly improved specs. It bumped the screen size up to 5.5-inches and added a dual-camera system, but otherwise kept most of what we lov...
None of us here know exactly where Lenovo is putting their money, but if I had to guess, I'd be pretty comfortable saying they care much more about their mid-range and budget-friendly phones than the flagship stuff.The Moto Z line with all of their Moto M...

It's been a few years since the Motorola that we knew and loved was replaced by what I like to call Lenovorola. Gone are the quick updates, Moto Maker, and a lot of other things that made Motorola great; instead, we now have a ton of different models, sup...
The metal body is all grown up, and makes the phone look and feel much more expensive than it is, 1080p is perfectly adequate, and viewing angles are great, It's quick, and it can even replace the nav buttons, Unless you're doing some serious gaming, it s...
They're nothing special, and are lackluster in some crucial respects, It's not here, so if you use mobile payments, you're SOL, I still put the connector in upsidedown every time, Its MSRP has gone up by $50 from the G5 Plus's, despite there not being man...
The Moto G5S Plus is much more of an evolution than a revolution, but that's what we expected given the "S" branding. It brings a nicer metal design, an excellent display, smooth performance, a long-lasting battery, and close-to-stock software. The only r...

The Moto G5S Plus is a bit of an interesting smartphone. It's a “special edition” of the Moto G5 Plus that was released earlier this year, but it isn't much different. The biggest difference here is arguably the dual camera setup. And it's not as incredib...

We already love the Moto G5 Plus and Motorola has just super-sized it in the form of the special edition Moto G5s Plus. Packing a bigger display than before, as well as some refined design work and a new dual-lens camera, the G5s Plus is one of the best s...

Overall, the Moto G5s Plus improves on the already-great G5 Plus, offering a lot for less than £300 here in the UK. Refined design work, a bigger display and that same vanilla Android interface makes for a strong all-rounder, while the improved selfie cam...

As I mentioned at the start of this review, the G5s Plus isn't a huge increment over the G5 Plus. The smartphone comes with the same internals and possibly a better camera, should Motorola address the quirks with a software update. However, bear in mind t...
