Moto E5 Plus: Design, features
Moto E5 Plus is aimed at large-screen enthusiasts who like to watch multimedia content on-the-go. The phone, however, aims to deliver the large screen without increasing the overall form factor. It has a 6-inch HD+ display with 18:9 aspect ratio, but with fair amount of bezel on the top and bottom. While the top houses the speakers, the bottom has Motorola branding. The company claims the 6-inch Max Vision display "gives you a better view of websites, games, and more."

Another key aspect of the design is the 3D polymer glass panel on the rear. While it houses the iconic round wristwatch like crown to house the camera, the fingerprint scanner is embedded into the Motorola logo on the back. For glass back panel, Motorola describes it as "reflective wave pattern and an arched back."

The phone also comes with gesture-based shortcut features, Moto Actions. For instance, you can chop down twice to turn the flashlight on or twist the wrist to launch the camera app.
