Motorola Moto G 5G Plus

Motorola Moto G 5G Plus product description

The Motorola Moto G 5G is a relatively inexpensive 5G phone with four cameras on the back and two on the front. But why would anyone need so much cameras? Let's find out.

Large plus point

We ourselves think the name of the 'Moto G 5G Plus' is somewhat unfortunate. It suggests the existence of a 'Moto G 5G', but that doesn't exist. Not yet, anyway. Motorola apparently felt the need to give out a plus right away. Possibly it has to do with the quadruple camera on the back. As main sensor, a 48MP model was chosen which, thanks to the Quad Pixel technique, combines 4 pixels to 1. Because of this, it captures more light for better exposed photos, which leads to better shots, especially in the dark. The 2nd camera is an 8MP ultra-wide-angle with a 118° angle of view. The 3rd camera is a 2MP depth camera and the 4th is a so-called 5MP macro camera. This allows you to shoot sharp shots from very close range. Ideal for details that others would lose. A separate zoom lens is missing so you can only zoom in digitally.

Selfie camera suitable for groups

At the front of the Moto G 5G+ there are two more cameras; a 16 and an 8MP camera. The first one will be used most often which, just like the 48MP main rear camera, uses Quad Pixel technology and therefore has a 4x better light sensitivity. Ideal for selfies in twilight or not ideal light conditions. If you also want to photograph your group of friends, take the 8MP camera with ultra wide angle lens. To make the most of your creativity, Motorola has equipped the Moto G 5G Plus with various fun camera effects such as an extra-long shutter speed of 32 seconds, spot colour and Nite Vision.

5G for now or 5G for later

Apart from the cameras, the Motorola Moto G 5G Plus is of course a phone that is already suitable for 5G. At the time of release, that is not yet available everywhere and you will also need a separate subscription for it. The fact that you already have it on a phone means that you are already prepared and don't have to buy a new mobile phone as soon as you want 5G. It's also one of the most affordable 5G phones available. That 5G support is made possible by the Snapdragon 765 processor. It's not Qualcomm's top-of-the-range model, but it's certainly powerful enough for extensive tasks and games. So your Moto G 5G+ won't feel slow any time soon. It also runs Android 10 out of the box without thick skin and unnecessary bloatware that you can't remove. And it's all in a water-repellant coated case, too. Oh and had we already told you that the 6.7 inch screen has a higher refresh rate of 90Hz? At the time of writing, this is a premium feature often only found on flagships.
