Snapdragon 430 sits at the core of this one, an octa-core chip paired with Adreno 505 graphics that's built for everyday tasks rather than gaming. You get either 2GB or 3GB of RAM depending on the variant, with 16GB or 32GB storage that can be topped up with a microSD card up to 256GB. The 5.0-inch IPS LCD panel runs full HD resolution at 441 ppi, sharp for its size, and the fingerprint sensor sits up front for quick unlocking.

On the back there's a 13MP camera with phase detection autofocus and LED flash, joined by a 5MP front camera for selfies and video calls. Motorola Moto G5 price in Malaysia starts from RM980. Battery duty falls to a 2800 mAh removable cell, something you don't see much anymore, running Android 7.0 Nougat out of the box.

It comes in Lunar Grey, Fine Gold and Sapphire Blue, and at 145g with a 9.5mm profile it's easy enough to carry around all day.
