Verdict
I still remember Moto’s statement(s) when it introduced the Moto G in November 2013, and then the Moto E in May 2014. It said it aimed to offer quality hardware without any compromises at budget-friendly prices, so even first-time smartphone buyers could enjoy a premium experience. With the Moto C Plus, the brand seems to be going lower in terms of the price tag. Even at this price though, it manages to offer decent hardware with a smooth software experience and a long-lasting battery.But times have changed, and now even the sub-Rs 8k price band attracts attention from big players, which mea...

Design and display: plasticky and chunky, yet sturdy
+
This year, Moto has reworked the design language of its smartphones, starting with the Moto G5 Plus (review). That has resulted in different aesthetics for its offerings, and the Moto C Plus doesn’t really have many similarities with its siblings in terms of looks. While I don’t necessarily mean it in a bad way, it’s just odd to find devices from the company not bearing much resemblance to each other. The phone lacks any sort of nano-coating unlike its siblings, and hence isn't impervious to splashes.

Camera: covers the basics
+
In the camera department, the Moto C Plus sports an 8-megapixel snapper at the back, and a 2MP selfie camera. While the setup is basic, it’s interesting that the device features an LED flash at the front too. The primary camera is able to capture videos at 720p resolution. The camera app is quite minimal and similar to other Moto smartphones. You can touch to focus and change exposure, along with getting the ability to toggle the flash, HDR, enable the self-timer and switch to the front camera. You also get a beautify mode for the back as well as the front camera.

Hardware and software: smooth performance, helped by vanilla Nougat
+
While Motorola usually relies on Qualcomm processors, under Lenovo, it has started to opt for MediaTek chipsets as well. The same is the case with the Moto C Plus. The phone comes fuelled by the MTK 6737 SoC, which offers four cores running at 1.3GHz. Coupled with 2GB of RAM, the handset is quite capable of handling day-to-day tasks with ease. While it does take noticeable time while opening apps or switching between tasks, it manages to offer a smooth experience otherwise.

Battery: the biggest strength
+
Keeping the Moto C Plus running is a beefy 4,000mAh battery, and it does its job well. Even for a power user like me, the phone easily lasted the entire working day with the usage comprising streaming songs via Wynk Music for an hour, using GPS for navigation intermittently, a few calls and messages, with the 4G turned on the entire time. With the moderate usage, the handset can comfortably go on until the next day.
