NEW DELHI: Lenovo-owned Motorola is all scheduled to release the next version of their most popular phone on the midnight of April 4h through Amazon.in. Yes, you can mark it as one of the biggest event in the smartphone industry and hats off to Amazon.in that it took this great endeavor to launch this phone exclusively for the common people. The Moto G5 was unveiled along with the Moto G5 Plus at the Mobile World Congress 2017, and since then, both the devices have generated much hype. The Motorola Moto G5 makes several improvements over the last year’s version making it the ideal budget premium. The Moto G5 will be exclusively available on Amazon India. Like the G5 Plus, the G5 will also come in two variants with varying RAM and onboard storage. The base model will be available from Amazon India along with lucrative offers. A Premium feel The most noticeable upgrade to this G series device from Motorola is the metal body. The phones are available in Lunar Gray or Fine Gold. This is the first time that Motorola’s G series phones are getting an all metal treatment. What’s more interesting the removable battery cover with user replaceable battery and nano SIM slots under the cover. Regarding specifications, the G5 is obviously a bit more modest regarding specifications, but bears the same premium look and feel as that of Motorola’s high-end phones. This makes it one of the biggest selling points of the Motorola Moto G5. Display 3 Motorola Moto G5 has received a significant upgrade in the display department. The screen is slightly smaller than that of G4 but now comes with 1920x1080 pixels. This makes the display look amazingly sharp with a pixel density of 440ppi, which is even higher than that of the G5 Plus. The display comes with Gorilla Glass 3 with a hydrophobic nano-coating making it smudge proof. Beneath the display, Motorola also incorporated a fingerprint sensor in the home button for faster and more secure authentication.
