The smartphone also comes with a 16-megapixel rear camera and a 5-megapixel front-facing camera. The handset is powered by a 3000 mAh battery that has TurboPower fast charging.

The Plus version has a larger 5.5-inch full HD display, with a more powerful octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor.

Both phones have a rounded, metal unibody design that feels solid which is similar to the earlier Moto G5 models. They also have fingerprint scanners at the bottom of the screen up front, which can be used as a navigation key.

Both the G5S and the G5S Plus run Android 7.1.1 Nougat with Moto Actions and Moto Display features, which are Motorola exclusive software enhancements.
