Lenovo's Moto G series has long stood for great value, and has seen tremendous sales in the Indian market. Since 2014, 7 million Moto G units have been sold in India alone. The fifth-generation Moto G5 and Moto G5 Plus were launched here just a few months ago, and while they may still be available, Lenovo has decided to introduce refreshed special editions of both phones.

Moto G5S Summary

The Moto G5S is a good attempt from Lenovo and gets many things right. It's built well, and comes with an excellent battery, a competent camera for daytime shots, and good overall performance. Audio quality is also good and fast charging is a welcome addition. There's no getting around this phone's disappointing low-light camera performance though. At its price, the Moto G5S should be a capable smartphone.

Kamlesh Achari (Dec 22, 2017) on Gadgets 360

Due to the large surface area & shape of glass over the cameras, it is prone to damage as I found out recently. Repairers could not find a replacement part for the glass so beware if you buy!

A very good phone for its price. Could have improved it's camera performance.

Dheeraj Skanda (Apr 10, 2018) on Gadgets 360 Recommends

A very good phone for its price. Could have improved it's camera performance. Very good features which other phones don't have in this price segment. Good build quality. Average battery performance. Overall one of the best phones in this price segment.

I am very happy with the product. Bought it for my teenager and I am now a hero in his eyes. Enough said, I guess.
