Coming to the rest of the specs, the G5 has a 13MP rear camera with f/2.0 aperture lens and can record 1080p videos at 30 FPS, there's a 5MP front facing camera as well with Auto-HDR mode for better selfies. On the sensors front, you would get the fingerprint sensor up front, magnetic field sensor as well as a gyroscope. Whether there is an notification LED or not, we still need to confirm.

All this is powered by a 2800 mAh battery which is non-removable, however storage is expandable on the phone with microSD cards. Just like the Moto G5 Plus, we can assume that the Moto G5 will be a Flipkart exclusive at the start. We will know more about pricing and availability at the launch on 4th April.
