The display is a spacious 6.7-inch borderless affair, with a 90Hz refresh rate and support for HDR 10. The aspect ratio is a tall 21:9, which should serve well for productivity-oriented tasks like checking emails and reading documents. Embedded within the display are two selfie cameras, with one lens serving as an ultra-wide with a 180-degree field of view. Meanwhile the power button serves as a fingerprint reader, for ambidextrous usage.<\/p>\n<p>Flip the phone over and you&#8217;ll spot a quad camera system. The primary shooter is a now-ubiquitous 48MP sensor, which uses pixel-binning to improve low-light performance. This is accompanied by an ultra-wide lens, a macro lens, and a depth sensor.<\/p>\n<p>The Moto G 5G Plus uses Qualcomm&#8217;s&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.com\/2019\/12\/03\/qualcomm_snapdragon_tech_summit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Snapdragon 765 platform<\/a>, which supports both sub-6 GHz and mmWave networks (that spooky unlicensed spectrum that will densify carrier networks after 5G SA &#8211; multi-gigabit throughput anyone?). The base configuration comes with 4GB RAM and 64GB storage. There&#8217;s a slightly more generous config above that, with 6GB RAM and 128GB storage.<\/p>\n<p>On the software front, the phone runs Android 10 topped with Motorola&#8217;s light-touch My UX skin.<\/p>\n<p>Fast charging is present, with the Moto G 5G Plus supporting up to 20W wired connections. It also comes with a generous 5,000mAh battery, which Motorola reckoned can last two days between charges.<\/p>\n<p>Motorola has priced the base model at &euro;349, which is pretty compelling considering the inclusion of 5G and a speedy Snapdragon 765 chip. It corresponds with the overall temperature of the smartphone market, which is&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.com\/2020\/06\/01\/xiaomi_sales_market_share_up_q1\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">likely to shift away from premium devices<\/a>&nbsp;as the public struggles with the inevitable economic realities caused by the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>There is no news yet on a US launch date or the dollar price.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Register<\/em>&nbsp;has asked Motorola for a review sample. In the event we get our hands on one soon, we&#8217;ll let you know how it shapes up.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"tags\">\n<div><strong>See Campaign: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.com\/2019\/12\/03\/qualcomm_snapdragon_tech_summit\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.theregister.com\/2019\/12\/03\/qualcomm_snapdragon_tech_summit\/<\/a><br \/><b>Contact Information:<\/b><br \/>Amiee<\/p>\n<p><b>Tags:<\/b><br \/><a href=\"\"><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/news-category\/wire\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Wire<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/global-regions\/united-states\/\" rel=\"category tag\">United States<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/language\/english\/\" rel=\"category tag\">English<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\" alt=\"image\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" class=\"cwdfimg\" \/><\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>Contact Information:<\/h3>\n<p>Amiee<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"233\" height=\"24\" src=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/3998-ICN.png\" alt=\"\">First &lsquo;affordable&rsquo; 5G phone for the budget blower brand Motorola today whipped the sheets off its first mid-tier 5G blower: the Moto G 5G Plus.
