Here's our closest look at the Moto E5 yet

 By Vaibhav Jain on January 25, 2018       

Motorola's Moto E line has been one of its most successful lines of low-end phones ever, so it makes sense that Lenovo and Motorola would want to follow-up last year's Moto E4 and Moto E4 Plus with a Moto E5.

Confirming the earlier leak, Couponraja with Onleaks have published CAD renders of the Moto E4 successor. Couponraja refers to the phone pictured below as the Moto E5 Plus. It also states that the device features a 5-inch display size with dimension 151x74x8.9mm (9.5mm including rear camera bump).

The Moto E5 looks like Moto C from the rear and Moto E4 Plus from the front. The fingerprint sensor is moved to the rear with batwing logo thanks to brand new Motorola branding.

There's no information regarding the Price, or Specifications. We got the Moto E4 and E4 Plus last year around July, but Motorola probably needs to release something to get sales back on track. Thoughts?

Redmi 5 Plus Hands On Review!!!

 By Vaibhav Jain on January 25, 2018       

The Redmi 5 and Redmi 5 Plus has already been announced in China back in 2017 and there's no information on the Worldwide launch of these devices. Today, we got our Redmi 5 Plus straight from China.

There is plenty to say about the Redmi 5 Plus. This is the first time Xiaomi is going 18:9 with its budget Smartphones. Both the Redmi 5 and Redmi 5 Plus have wide screens with 5.7" and 5.99" Display respectively.

You get 10W charger (5V/2A), a microUSB cable, Black case, Screen protector, and the device itself inside the all-red cardboard box.

The device keeps the Snapdragon 625 chip, 4,000mAh battery, and old 5MP selfie shooer of the Redmi Note 4. We have an upgraded rear camera which performs really well. Despite of having same design, the Redmi 5 Plus is slimmer and lighter than the Redmi Note 4.

In this YouTube Video, we’ll share some initial thoughts on the in-hand feel.
