The Moto E5 Plus is Motorola's biggest budget phone yet
Ever since their debut in 2014, Motorola's Moto E series phones have garnered a very specific reputation: they're decently competent and very, very cheap. With the new Moto E5 Plus, though, Motorola has decided to fiddle with the formula in some interesting ways. It's easily the most premium Moto E the company has ever made, a fact made more apparent when you compare the E5 Plus to its less powerful sibling, the new Moto E5 Play. In some respects, The E5 Plus even outclasses the more modest of the two new Moto Gs announced today. It's clear that the role of the Moto E line is shifting, but after some hands-on time, I think Motorola might be onto something here.
Motorola's low-cost E5 Plus may pack a big screen in a sleeker body
Motorola might not reserve large updates for its higher-end smartphone models this year. Leaker Evan Blass has posted an image of what should be the Moto E5 Plus, the bigger-screened device in the brand's expected low-cost phone lineup, and it's clearly not just a speed bump for the E4. For one, there's a different camera array -- there's just one camera (despite the two cutouts), but this definitely isn't a rehash of 2017. The picture also suggests a much sleeker-looking body that tucks the fingerprint reader at the back in return for smaller bezels (albeit large enough for a prominent "Motorola" at the bottom).
