Tech Columnist Jaspreet Kaur is reporting that Moto G5 and G5 Plus smartphones expected to launch at MWC 17

FYI, February 26 is already marked as the beginning of MWC (Mobile World Congress) at Barcelona and hence, Motorola has preferred to showcase its new models on the opening day. It is expected that the handsets about to be unveiled are Moto G5 and Moto G5 Plus. However, an interesting twist is the former will not host any fingerprint scanner on it, unlike Moto G5 Plus.

With this official announcement, it is all sure that Motorola is now all set to raise the curtains over Moto G5 and Moto G5 plus models. These are the successors of last year launched Moto G4 and Moto G4 plus models respectively.

Though nothing has been said to the feature of the phone yet, through industry insiders, it is expected that Moto G5 plus will shine with its 5.5-inch full HD (1080p) display. It will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 chip paired with 4 GB of RAM. Internal storage capacity is believed to be coming in the range of 16 GB and 32 GB.

For picture savvies, the smartphone will flaunt a rear camera of 16-megapixel and a selfie shooter of 5-megapixel. It will run on Android Nougat platform upon unwrapping and will bear a 3,080 mAh capacity battery inside it.

Now coming to Moto G5, the model is rumoured to be 'not' coming with a fingerprint scanner which can create a little disappointment, though. But, on the other hand, it will be a 16 GB internal storage model having 13 MP rear camera at its back side.

Though final prices are still unknown, past leaks indicate that Moto G5 plus model may cost around Rs 26,500.
