The rumors have been confirmed. The Moto G5 and G5 Plus were officially unveiled at the Mobile World Congress. And while the Moto G5 was revealed to be running on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 430, it was its bigger sibling that grabbed the attention of many, mostly because of its many similarities with Xiaomi's Redmi Note 4.
Here is a comparison of the two handsets' specifications.
Previous leaks stated that the Moto G5 Plus would have a 5.5-inch display, but it was revealed at the MWC in Barcelona that the smartphone only has a 5.2-inch display. The Redmi Note 4, though, takes the 5.5-inch title. In the meantime, both devices feature full-HD displays.

For instance, both models offer variants that sport 2 GB of RAM and 32 GB of built-in memory. The two models also come in 3 GB of RAM with 32 GB of internal storage and 4 GB of RAM with 64 GB of internal storage. All variants come with a microSD slot for expandable storage of up to 128 GB.
However, there are certain stark differences between the two devices. Even though previous leaks pointed to a 3,080 mAh battery on the Moto G5 Plus, it only actually has a 3,000 mAh battery. The Redmi Note 4, on the other hand, boasts a whopping 4,100 mAh battery. Due to this, the Xiaomi device weighs more than the Moto G5 Plus by 20 grams.
The newly launched Moto G5 lineup will be released globally in the weeks following the Mobile World Congress. However, it will not simultaneously hit the market worldwide, with India one of the first countries to get the new devices this month.
