Lenovo moto putting some pressure on the mid-range market spending a couple minutes checking out the g5 plus and it delivers the solid first impression where we were fans of the g4 Moto's aesthetic touches and material improvements are a welcome change the competition in this market segment is intense and consumers at entry and mid price points shouldn't suffer cheap feeling phones metal construction shapely sides and some appreciated tech upgrades the Qualcomm six-to-five has been impressing a speedy little chipset that easily provides high-end features like 4k video recording and surprisingly quick camera focus the software is also refreshingly clean the same organization and layout as a pixel for the most part under lenovo the g5 continues to reinforce what we like about unlocked Moto's with a lack of bloat and extraneous UI elements customizations like the twist gesture camera launch remain and new for this year is expanded navigation control using the fingerprint sensor this implementation similar to what we recently demoed on the huawei p10 though is finicky in operation moto might be trying too much from one key home button back multitasking search and turning the screen off that's quite a bit of muscle memory to retrain the only deal-breaker here might be the lack of NFC for folks looking to use mobile payments and we maybe recommend a watch to fill in that gap but and he's smart watching my own will likely cost more than the phone itself the g5 plus will launch for 229 for 32 gigabytes of storage two gigabytes of RAM and full support for all major US carriers well done moto well done indeed as always thanks so much for watching be sure to subscribe for all of our MWC 2017 coverage now that with some sharing on your favorite social networks for pocket now I'm Juan Carlos bag now some gadget guy on Twitter and Instagram and I will catch you all on the next video
