Friends+Design
- All-metal body with a nice finish - a big improvement from the polycarbonate used on the Moto G5
- Fingerprint reader works flawlessly
- Pretty light at 157g for a metal phone, and also more ergonomic than it's larger cousin the Moto G5S Plus - making it easier to use with one hand
Display
- Decent display with good viewing angles
- Good battery life - comfortably lasts the work day even with heavy use - it is even better than the already good battery life of the Moto G5S Plus, because of the smaller display
- The displays is decent but reflective, and so tends to struggle under direct sunlight
Software
- Like other Moto phones, the Moto G5S Plus uses a virtually untouched version of Android rather than a custom interface - keeping things nice and simple
- The simple but useful Moto add-ons remain of course, including the Moto Display (ambient display notifications), and added gesture support
Performance
- Decent performance - the phone handles everyday tasks smoothly, and doesn't feel like a slouch
Camera
- Decent rear camera - details are preserved well in outdoor shots - and it does a good job with macro shots too
- Decent front camera too
- The rear camera does not do as well with landscapes, and indoor shots
Audio
- Solid speaker - its pretty loud and has the extra shot of lower-frequency power needed in a tiny speaker to avoid sounding reedy and harsh
- The bundled headset is pretty average
Battery
- Fast charging support - full charge takes 60-70 minutes
- Tends to get a little warm when charging
More
- Water-repellent nano-coating for protection against accidental splashes
