Display and Design

Moto E5 Plus has maintained the design of Moto G6 and Moto X4 with slight difference in the look. The device is having a 9.3 mm thickness along with 75.3 mm width. But the smartphone will have a bit heavy sketch of 196.6 grams. The rear side will have a glossy polymer design which will have the similar look of the glass back. E5 Plus will be available in 4 color variants of Black, Gold, Flash Grey and Mineral Blue.

The 6 inch IPS LCD display will have a screen resolution of 720*1440 pixels. The 268 ppi Pixel Density looks an average feature for the price tag and even its competitor, Redmi Note5 Pro is featuring a 403 ppi pixel density. A 76.68% Screen to Body Ratio looks average and Moto still having the weakness in this criteria.

Storage and Performance

The device will have an in-built memory of 32 GB. Moto E5 plus gives an expandable storage option of 128 GB. A dedicated MicroSD card slot allows you to use multiple sim and external storage option at the same time.

Moto E5 Plus is a great performer. Qualcomm Snapdragon 425 Chipset is powered by a quad core processor. Although it doesn't have an Octa core processor, this will be enough to do the multi tasks. The graphics intensive games or apps performs well with Adreno 308 graphics card. A 3 GB RAM looks great and will ensures you a smooth performance.

The 5000 mAh huge battery capacity is an advantage for the device but on the other hand, a non-removable battery will be a fret for the users. Camera features are average but the device is an excellent performer. Graphics card, processor and RAM are at its best in the Moto E5 Plus. 32 GB built in storage and 128 GB expandable options are the great features from Moto E5 Plus.
