Motorola, the inventor of the mobile phone, recently launched the Moto G5 and the Moto G5 Plus, both good-looking devices backed by formidable processing abilities. The launch prices, depending on the variant, ranges from ₹12,000 to ₹17,000. It was the aim of Lenovo, Motorola's new parent, to make the Moto G5 a unique proposition in terms of looks and size.

Motorola India managing director Sudhin Mathur said the dual-brand strategy was working and the results could be seen with the new flagship. “We wanted the Moto G5 to be a delight for budget phone buyers,” he said.

And, he is right. For starters, the Moto G5 looks completely different from the Moto G4. It has a bigger screen (5.2''), a bigger fingerprint sensor and the deliciously smart stylings of the premier Moto Z.
