Lenovo-owned Motorola Mobility has announced the release of Moto G5S Plus smartphone in the US. The phone is now on pre-order and will start shipping September 29.

Unveiled in August, the Moto G5S Plus sports a 5.5-inch screen and comes with dual 13MP rear cameras. The company has also packed an 8MP shooter on the front and 3000 mAh battery in the phone. In terms of software, the G5S Plus runs on Android 7.1 Nougat, but will be getting the Oreo update.

Motorola’s Moto G phones are counted among the best budget Android smartphones and Moto G5S Plus is also a great performer.

It is unlikely that Motorola will release the non-plus smaller version of the phone in the country.

Pricing

According to Motorola, the Moto G5S Plus has been priced at $279.99 (32GB) and $349.99 (64GB), but if you pre-order the phone, you can get it for as low as $229.99 (32GB) and $299.99 (64GB).
