Moto E5 Plus
The Moto E5 Plus is the best-equipped smartphone of the bunch, featuring a 6-inch HD+ (1440 x 720) IPS Max Vision display, a sleek design with a reflective wave pattern and an arched back for a distinctive look and feel. The SoC on the Moto E5 Plus is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 425 with a quad-core 1.4 GHz Cortex-A53 processor and Adreno 308.
The highlight is the 5000 mAh battery on board, which should provide excellent endurance, with a type-C port for 15w fast charging.
