Under its hood sits a Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 SoC which is an Octa-core CPU clocked at 1.4 GHz for the Motorola G5. That and the Adreno 505 GPU for processing graphics as well as 2GB (or 3, if you’re willing to drop more) of RAM for seamless multitasking.

Both configurations, however, support expansion by a microSD card (capacities up to 256GB).
