The rumours regarding the phones that are doing the rounds on the Internet tell us that the phone would probably come with an all-metal design with a front mounted fingerprint scanner in Moto G5 Plus, but the design of the fingerprint scanner might be different from Moto G4 Plus. Moto G5 might just skip the fingerprint scanner design altogether as it was the case with Moto G4.

The camera of the phone is also buzzing to be different as the new ones might incorporate a circular apparatus much like Moto Z.
