Moto G 5G: Design and looks
The Moto G 5G sports a massive build given its expansive 6.7-inch LTPS full HD+ display. With that much of screen real-estate, it not only dwarfs its competitors, it also is considerably thicker as well thanks to the 5000 mAh battery inside.

Also, it isn’t exactly a bezel-less display up front, something that we tend to expect these days. Rather, there is a bit of bezel depth along the sides while the chin is also quite prominent. A punch-hole at the centre accommodates the selfie cam.
The rear, meanwhile, has a glossy finish to it and hosts the fingerprint sensor along with a three-camera setup. The three-lens camera again is housed within a square module placed along the top left corner.
