The Moto G5 was regarded as a dissapointment as previous Moto G phones had been considered the best budget phones at the time of their respective release. On the other hand, the G5 Plus and G5S Plus ( and to a lesser extent, the G5S ) were praised for their large improvements in performance, battery life, camera quality, and storage capacity. The G5S Plus does add an upgraded front - facing camera with LED flash and a metal unibody, however its rear camera module is considered a regression from that of the G5 Plus due to a narrower aperture ( F2. 0 versus F1. 7 ).
