Improved build quality. Similar performance to the Moto G4
But at a lower price point. Decent battery life and display. Includes a fingerprint sensor for the first time. Runs stock Android 7.0
Well-built phone with a good screen
Solid CPU performance
$229 for 2GB of RAM and 32GB of storage is a good deal
Storage expandable via micro SD
Fingerprint reader
Unskinned Nougat without a giant pile of duplicative apps
The addition of metal to the Moto G's chassis makes it more sturdy and gives it a premium feel
It's fast and accurate. Better than other budget devices
The move to a more compact 5.2inch LCD makes for a comfortable phone
And the display quality is grea

The editors didn't like
Lacklustre camera is a downgrade from the G4 Play
Camera is a downgrade from the G4 Plus and produces softer and more washed-out images
Old micro USB port
$299 model doesn't get you much extra stuff for the price increase
Mediocre graphics performance
The giant camera module looks a bit dopey
It's lacking in lowlight
Isn't it time to stop using this connector
It doesn't have NFC
Which is just kind of weird at this point
The Snapdragon 625 is not going to be good for intense games
Micro USB connector instead of USB-C
Smaller Display than its predecessor
No Google Assistant out of the box
No NFC
Reasonable but not impressive performance
We expected a USB Type-C
One-button navigation is difficult to get accustomed to
Doesn't ship with Google Assistant
Underwhelming speaker output
Priced higher than the competition
Photos by Raj Rout
There's no NFC on the US model
And audio sounds tinny through the built-in speaker
These are large phones
Old Moto G owners who like small phones will be disappointed. Occasional lag
The Moto G Plus has a fingerprint scanner on the front
Which the Moto G lacks. The scanner works very well
And our only complaint is that we kept press
No NFC when mobile payments are finally catching on
MicroUSB charging is so 2016
Low light camera performance is just OK
Type-C
Camera feels like it doesn't reach its potential
Discounted adsupported version only for Amazon Prime users

Why?
Could use more robust waterresistance
Large bezels cancel out compact screen
