The Moto G5 is the mini version of the G5 Plus.

It would be quite difficult for the Moto G5 to be competitive if neither of its models are priced under Rs 10, 000. Especially considering the recent launch of the Xiaomi Redmi 4A at Rs 5, 999. The Redmi 4A houses the Snapdragon 425.So let’s wait and watch as to what would be the official prices of these devices on 4 April.
