The moto g series has always been a good value, combining great android software with decent hardware. if other companies ZTE, one plus, huawei and nubia werent batting out this war to produce impressive, inexpensive phones. when is say that the moto g5 plus is a metal phone, thats only partially true the backplate taking up much of the phones rear is aluminium.
nougat specific features, such as splitscreen multitasking, worked very well on the 64GB / 4GB model I tested. this is the price killer smartphone.
