Moto G5S Plus and Moto G5S Design
The design of both the new phones of the Moto G5 series is the only Moto G5 Plus (Review) smartphone. Both devices have a metal unibody design and feel strong in hand. However, we did not like the antenna bands given on the rear panel of Moto G5S Plus and Moto G5S as many phones already have a similar design in the market.
