Build and Display
There is virtually nothing separating the Moto C Plus from the regular variant in terms of look. It is thicker and heavier at 10 mm and 160 g respectively.
An area of improvement is the 5-inch display which boasts a better HD (720 x 1280 pixels) resolution for sharper images. The Moto C Plus has a screen-to-body ratio of roughly 66 percent.
Camera and Storage
The Moto C Plus offers a better rear camera with a higher resolution of 8 megapixels. The shooter has an f/2.2 aperture and 71-degree field of view (FOV). Camera features include autofocus, LED flash, HDR and touch focus.
But the rear snapper can only record maximum of 720p (HD) videos, just like the Moto C. You also get the measly 2MP selfie camera with flash. Integrated storage is 16 GB, expandable by 32 GB.
Performance and OS
Motorola gives performance a slight boost here. While the Moto C Plus does come with a quad-core MediaTek MT6737, this one is faster at 1.3 GHz. A model of the device offers users 2 GB of RAM for improved responsiveness and more enjoyable gaming.
And talking about gaming, a Mali-T720 MP2 GPU sees to graphics crunching. Like its regular brother, the Moto C Plus boots to Android 7.0 Nougat OS.
