Budget-friendly Moto G5 launching in Canada on May 3

The Moto G5 was officially announced at MWC back in February. The smartphone, which is already available in quite a few markets across the world, is soon coming to Canada. You’ll be able to get it from Bell MTS, SaskTel, Videotron, and Virgin Mobile starting on May 3. The budget-friendly device will set you back $250.

As a refresher, the Moto G5 is a mid-ranger and sports a 5-inch Full HD display. It is powered by the Snapdragon 430 chipset and offers 16 GB of storage, which can be expanded with an additional 128 GB. It has 2 GB of RAM and features a 13 MP primary camera with an f/2.0 aperture and phase detection autofocus (PDAF). There’s also a selfie snapper on board that has a 5 MP sensor and an f/2.2 aperture.

Unlike its predecessor, it features a metal body that makes it look as well as feel more premium. Other specs worth mentioning are a 2,800 mAh battery, a fingerprint scanner located on the front of the device, and Android 7.0 Nougat.

So there you have it. You’ll soon be able to get your hands on the Moto G5. Unfortunately, there’s still no word on when (or if) its bigger brother, the Moto G5 Plus, will make its way to Canada.
