Yeah. Actually, I was more concerned about that 75 degree celsius because that indeed is hot. However, a friend having the same phone said that his phone never crosses 38-39 degree!

Anyway, give it a try yourself too. And yes, it's because of turbo charging only, as several people mentioned. So, you'll observe the temperature rising up after about 20-30 minutes of putting it on charging.

I also observed that the phone gets appreciably warm if the 'torch' is used while recording video. Tried it on front cam.

I'll appreciate if you too could share the screenshot of the temperature screen on CPUZ app.

Regarding camera updates, I'm not into photography. But I couldn't find any significant change after the updates. :P
[Moto G5S Plus Real Life Review] Webern:
38.5 degrees c (and the phone is in a wallet style case). I'm using the phone at the same time, surfing, listening to music and checking out a bug about audio equalisation I just posted about elsewhere on this site. voltage 4200 mv, ac charger charging (but says turbopower connected on the lock screen). It's been charging for about 20 minutes, from about 35 or 40% charge (despite using it quite a bit today the battery is taking it in its stride. this is only the second time i've charged it).

I'll post back here if it rises to a silly level today or on subsequent charges.

[Moto G5S Plus Real Life Review] tom3f:
Images are not very sharp. If you are looking for good camera, look for another device. Panorama mode has low resolution, even when camera is 13MPx panoramas are usually smaller than that. You can fix this by changing camera application. But this only helps with panorama. But overall image sharpens will not improve with any app.
[Moto G5S Plus Real Life Review] Saadatrm:
Post capture processing really sucks!!!

Is there any way to disable it?
[Moto G5S Plus Real Life Review] Shenanigans000:
Agreed about the post processing - makes pictures very soft. Colour rendition is really good. White balance, contrast, dynamic range all reasonable. Focus a bit slow but ok. Correctly exposing for backlit subjects pretty good.

Video is good, except sometimes looks like it's lacking in bitrate. Will try OpenCamera and see if I can tweak this.

Overall rating: 5 out of 10. Would go to 7 if Moto fix the image softness.
[Moto G5S Plus Real Life Review] dave1977nj:
Can anyone post some pictures taken with this phone. I have a Galaxy S5 and I'm looking for an upgrade.
[Moto G5S Plus Real Life Review] Saadatrm:
Anyone checked the latest moto camera 2 version?

I think picture quality is still the same but there is reduction in yellowish tint(i dont like yellowish pics)....
[Moto G5S Plus Real Life Review] William1020000:
I'm impressed with the dynamic range and colours, which seem to be very good. The main issues with the camera are lack of detail and poor low light performance. I'd imagine the first one is fixable via software but I have doubts about the sensors low light ability.

Overall photos are well exposed and colours are good, but my main issue is grainy images when you zoom in on photos.
[Moto G5S Plus Real Life Review] Phazmos:
This camera is horrid. Granted, I'm coming from a 6p, but found some pics taken with my old old droid x, and they were miles ahead of this thing they call a camera. Time to break out the d5100 again!
[Moto G5S Plus Real Life Review] taufiiqqq:
The camera is disgusting. I was so ambitious about the camera and it disappointed me miserably.
[Moto G5S Plus Real Life Review] XotusBlack:
I don't know what some of you are expecting. Its the best phone in the mid-range, compared to its specifications. BUT somewhere the missing money, becomes visible. In this phone its the cam. The cam is useful if enough light is present.

In a potratit mode camera work properly

How much time take and focus proper work after every update

In a custom ROM camera work proper with every mode
[Moto G5S Plus Real Life Review] Dishe:
Whoops. Delete my post.

For some reason I got confused and posted about how impressed I am with the photos from my Moto G5+ here, I didn't realize it was the section for the newer S model until after posting.

I've heard the dual camera thing with the S hasn't been so great in the real world, and the sensor in the regular G5+ (which is similar to the one found in the Galaxy S7) may actually be capable of better shots. But I think its because Moto is weird about the software that runs the camera, with over-processing and highlight clipping that can be avoided with better software. Using an app that handles Camera2 makes a huge difference on the G5+, which I was originally posting about until I realized I'm in the wrong place. Sorry guys!
[Moto G5S Plus Real Life Review] internetpilot:
The problem with the camera in this phone is almost 100% software. The automatic settings of the Moto camera app generate horrible photos.

Look at your photo information (when viewing the photo in Google Photos, tap the "i" icon at the bottom) and specifically note the ISO. With this sensor hardware anything over ISO400 is going to be relatively unusable (mottled/blurry detail/sharpness with image noise). If you shoot the same photo in "Professional Mode" manually setting the ISO (at or below ISO400) and the shutter speed, the results are actually quite acceptable, if not even very good.

The flash on this camera is a much more natural color (somewhere in the 2000k range rather than the usual bright white LED >5000k), so using the flash (when feasible) in combination with better manual settings will also help.

Even using manual settings there's still some post-processing fickery going on, but that's still all software. I wish Moto would add an option to turn post-processing off. I think they don't have that option though because most people use the camera in fully automatic mode and the pictures would be REALLY bad if they weren't post-processed when using that mode.

Any better flashing a custom Rom or different camera app?

Hi, a friend's of mine buy the moto g5s plus thinking it's gona be better for the photo of the moto g4 he still have.

Result that the photo are not so good, moto g4 it's better.

But someone have already try to install a custom Rom on the moto g5 plus, maybe with Oreo, and result any improvement on the camera and photo?

Or try a different mod for the camera app that result in a improvement for the camera?

If anyone have try that way and can share it's result and opinion about it I will appreciated. My friend don't want to avoid the warranty of the phone for nothing.

Thanks.
[Moto G5S Plus Real Life Review] Dishe:
Are you talking about g5 plus or g5s plus? Because you mention the one with the s.
[Moto G5S Plus Real Life Review] Iurop:
Hi, yeah I'm talking about the moto g5s plus. I saw in the xda forum that are present a tread about camera mods, and for use those mod need to enable the full access to API2 cam. But looks like that the main problem with the moto g5s plus camera it's not solved in that way.

For that I though that maybe install a custom Rom, possibly with Oreo, helps or solve the camera issue, considering that the real problem it's software not the hardware. There are many Rom with Oreo to try, for that I'll ask if someone already try that way and get the problem solved, or better wait for an official update from motorola-lenovo and see if they solve.
[Moto G5S Plus Real Life Review] AndreaM83:
in low light conditions the result is really bad, with the light discrete but not excelled

? with gcam
[Moto G5S Plus Real Life Review] Dishe:
Taken with gcam on g5+ I had my A7RII with me on this trip, but took some shots with my phone as well because the HDR+ effect in camera is just THAT good.

Even records raw so I can edit later, but these are straight out of camera. Have some great shots even in lower indoor light from the trip, but they are of family members I'd rather not post on the internet. Even compared to my "real" pro camera, if used properly this is capable of some excellent shots.
[Moto G5S Plus Real Life Review] benjaconb:
Hi, one question, is the GCAM application you use compatible only with Android Oreo? I use a GCAM application but in Android Nougat and it does not have HDR + because it is 32 bits yet, yours has 64 bits?
[Moto G5S Plus Real Life Review] alonzimanuel:
There is a version of gcam with hdr+ compatible with stock rom. Try searching modded gcams with arm-arm64.
[Moto G5S Plus Real Life Review] j€nish:
Modded gcam upload here
[Moto G5S Plus Real Life Review] Dishe:
There's a thread here with everything you'd need to run it on stock rom (nougat). The only issue is that you need to modify build.prop to enable the camera2 api, which may require root or at the very least an unlocked bootloader. Other than that, mine is working great on stock Nougat.

[Moto G5S Plus Real Life Review] dollarpapa:
Is there anything have to do with the fact that Moto uses the Google Photos as the default Gallery?

Because G.photos will compress (unless you are paying for a limited storage for highest quality) the images and makes the bad even worse. The photos go through 2 processing and having a mediocre camera, that won't help.

I think it's a horrible choice for Lenovo to be lazy and not include a basic, offline gallery app.
[Moto G5S Plus Real Life Review] SnookerPhil:
It's not included but it's very much available on the play store as "Foto Gallery."
[Moto G5S Plus Real Life Review] Zestar:
not sure why everyone in this post complains about the camera, do you know of any other phone with actually a good camera? the count is almost Zero.

this phone allows for Raw capture and also disabling noise filter completely, some apps allow to use the HDR blend, that remove the noise keeping all the details on the photo. the camera at 13mp looks much better that any 20mp xperia on the market. so if you want to take perfect photos, buy a thousand dollar professional camera.
[Moto G5S Plus Real Life Review] santoshx99:
I completely agree with you. Expecting DSLR with this mid range phone is a bad idea. One can go for Nikon or Canon DSLR camera if they want something unusual.
[Moto G5S Plus Real Life Review] Sanjay.it:
during captured using the depth mode, the focus and blur image edges does not focused on the the object..

I think Moto/Lenovo can be fixed this issue after Camera software update! or provide US at-least G Cam apps supported OS

[Moto G5S Plus Real Life Review] Dishe:
They don't have to. We already fixed it. Works amazing with the right tweaks.
[Moto G5S Plus Real Life Review] gioyocho:
What about photo quality for me it is so average. I had moto g4 and almost there is no big difference. Daytime it is good i like it, but sometimes i need to clean my camera lense if it is nasty. In low light and night time camera is bad. Pixel is 10x times better both selfie and mine camera for sad. But i am satisfied at a price range

Better would be if they put in the camera 2x zoom option and not depth mode. For me portrait selfie mode do not work, only on rare camera. Pixel works both
[Moto G5S Plus Real Life Review] Dishe:
Because pixel has better software. The camera hardware on the g5+ is actually pretty awesome, as has been proven by using modified software to be similar Pixel's.

Seems the only negativity with the camera on this thing comes from using it stock.

sounds quality so scary :(

i went at gigs or concert and recording some videos to the stage. In open space or indoors and when i took a look on the video i got scared...

Sound quality to recording nightclubs/gigs/concerts are pretty bad with the bass etc etc.

please somebody to advise, any app to fix this problem?
[Moto G5S Plus Real Life Review] Aptony:
I read somewhere a guy whit this problem too, at the end he tried Microphone app from PlayStore then change microphone gain to 0 (it was at 39 for him) and this do the trick. Now audio on videos from concerts was fine not perfect ... You can try it and let us know but take in consideration that after all its a mid-range phone.

GSMARENA doesn't rate the camera good at all .. any users having issues with the camera?? Quality seems poor as per their standards also the images they posted taken from the camera doesn't seem that great

Just looking for some feedback .. just ordered the phone online ..
[Moto G5S Plus Real Life Review] Webern:
It's a step down from the z3 I used for 3 years. The pictures look ok if you don't look too closely. So if subjects are close to you or fill the frame they're fine, and the hdr works reasonably quickly and well, but if you start zooming in and pixel peeping you'll see outlines around the edges of things and a lack of sharpness. I'm not sure if it's the sort of thing you can fix through software.

[Moto G5S Plus Real Life Review] internetpilot:
Actually, it's perfectly safe to charge any device with a QuickCharge 2.0 or 3.0 charger. These chargers are "smart" and will only do what the charge circuit is capable of accepting.

I use this charger to charge my Asus Zenwatch 3 (and Zenwatch 2) smartwatch and my Moto G5S Plus (and previously my Motorola Nexus 6), all of which has some sort of Quick/Turbo Charging technology.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0197M3G48/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I also use this 10000mAh power bank to charge my G5S Plus on the go, and it is also QuickCharge 3.0, which also triggers the Moto TurboCharge feature.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074KDLHQ4/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

And finally, I use this in the car for charging all of the above, which is also QC 3.0 and TurboCharges my G5S Plus.

On my Kaiser I took some movies. They were in .MP4 format. I copied the files to my PC and when trying to play them on the PC (by double-clicking on the file in the windows explorer) - I get this error message in a dialog box:

Title: Error

Text: Error -2041: an invalid sample description was found in the movie (VIDEO_011.MP4)

When I try to open the file in the latest updated version of Windows Media Player 11, I get an error message saying it cannot play this sort of file. I do have MP4 codecs on my PC as well.

Lastly, when I copy the files back onto my PPC and then open the camera application, I am still able to open and play the files with no problem on the Kaiser.... so there is nothing wrong with the files... so what the heck?!?! HALP!

Perhaps you could try googling 'K Lite Media pack'. This is highly recommended by many, and it works great for me.
