Design and Display:

The Motorola Moto E5 Plus sports the classic Moto design with curved edges and the Motorola ‘M’ logo on the center of the back of the smartphone. The Moto E5 Plus comes with thin bezels (thinner than those on the Moto E5) and has a uniquely designed camera setup on the back. Overall, the Moto E5 Plus is solidly build with a glossy finish on the back which makes the smartphone look appealing at first glass.
Motorola has made use of a generous 6.0-inch display on the Moto E5 Plus with the IPS LCD display technology. The size and color reproduction is good but the choice of resolution is poor since the Moto E5 Plus only features a HD resolution which means that the display is not as sharp as you would expect a 2018 smartphone to be. Gameplay and video playback is not as fun on the Moto E5 Plus as on other smartphones with FHD display (in the same price range) such as the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4.

Performance:

The Motorola Moto E5 Plus comes packed with the powerful budget chipset from Qualcomm, the Snapdragon 425, with the Adreno 308 GPU and a quad-core processor.

Camera:

The Motorola Moto E5 Plus features a slightly better camera than that on the Moto E5. The camera setup on the Moto E5 Plus consists of a 12 MP rear sensor with phase detection autofocus and laser autofocus, and a 5 MP front sensor for the selfies. The color reproduction is pleasing and the contrast is great in the images. The autofocus ensures that the images taken from the Moto E5 Plus have the right level of detail. However, the dynamic range is rather narrow and there is often a lot of noise in lowlight images. As for the selfie camera, it can take some clear and crisp images, there is a LED flash with the selfie camera too so you are good for low light selfies as well.
