The Moto G 5G Plus proves that 5G phones don't have to be expensive - CNET

Motorola combines its expertise in affordable phones with its knowledge of 5G to create the Moto G 5G Plus.

So it's a real surprise to see Motorola launch the Moto G 5G Plus, a truly affordable 5G phone.

Motorola says it's committed to releasing a sub-$500 5G in the US in the fall, but it's unclear whether that affordable 5G device is the Moto G 5G Plus, another version of it or an entirely new device.

The Moto G 5G Plus packs support for sub-6GHz 5G, so low- and midband 5G, not the fastest millimeter-wave 5G, but it puts it in direct competition with the more expensive Samsung Galaxy S20, OnePlus 8 and still unreleased Motorola Edge.

It has NFC and packs a 5,000-mAh battery, just like the excellent Moto G Power and Motorola Edge Plus.

The Moto G 5G Plus has many cameras.
