Just like the Moto G5S, this one is also powered by a 3,000 mAh battery with included turbo charge capabilities. The Moto G5S plus differs from the Moto G5S also with the chipset, as the plus variant runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 chipset, a 2.0 GHz octa-core CPU with 3GB RAM and 32GB of onboard storage. Just like the Moto G5S, the storage can be expanded via a microSD card.

The next big difference is in the camera department, the Moto G5S Plus features a dual-camera setup at the back. Two 13MP cameras placed horizontally with an f/2.0 aperture and 4K video capture. The dual camera captures Bokeh, and selective focus shots, along with other capabilities of background replacement and exposure management. On the front is a wide angle 8MP camera with a single LED flash and a new panoramic mode. There are additional features such as Night Display and Quick Reply as part of a more meaningful software experience according to Motorola.
