Motorola perhaps chose the worst time to announce it's Moto G5 and G5 Plus. Clashing with Nokia's return to smartphones may not have been the best idea, but the company has made some interesting changes to its devices. Here's what you need to know about Motorola's MWC 2017 announcements.

Let's start with what matters most: The Moto G5 and G5 Plus are priced at 199 (approx. Rs. 14000) and 229 (approx. Rs. 16000) Euros, respectively. That's for the 2GB/32GB variant. The 3GB/32GB variant of the Moto G5 Plus will cost you 279 Euros (approx. Rs. 19,600).

The Moto G5 Plus, on the other hand, has a 12MP camera on the back, with dual-auto focus pixels, which Moto claims will take much lesser time to focus.

Of course, both the Moto G5 and G5 Plus sport completely metallic designs, similar to what we saw on the Moto M smartphone.

There's also a new Moto Power Pack Mod, which is designed to give your phone 50% power whenever required. The Mod can apparently charge your phone as well.
