Background and Identification

Produced by Motorola, the Moto C Plus is a smartphone made mainly for emerging markets as a low-end phone. It was released on May 1, 2017, alongside the Moto C, and was aimed to offer reasonable specs at a low price in an attempt to compete with Chinese manufacturers that offer low cost smartphones.

Compared to the Moto C, the Moto C Plus packs a higher-resolution 5-inch display, a bigger 4,000mAh battery and a more powerful 8MP rear camera. There's also a 2MP front camera, 1GB or 2GB of RAM, a 1.3GHz quad-core processor, and Android 7.

Moreover, the devices are the same with a few exceptions. For example, the Moto C Plus has a higher clock rate in its processor, at 1.3 GHz, compared to the 1.1 GHz of the Moto C. Then, the Moto C Plus has an IPS-based display and an exchangeable battery. The standout feature for the Moto C Plus is its near stock version of its operating system, the Android 7.
