As written in Softpedia, Lenovo updated the chipset inside its mid-range Motorola smartphones line-up but the comparison cannot be done because of variable memory. Instead of Qualcomm Snapdragon 617, new smartphone features more powerful Snapdragon 635 chip.

It offers an improved 12-megapixel dual autofocus pixels primary camera with a color-balancing dual-LED flash in place of the 16-megapixel camera with phase detection and laser autofocus and a dual LED flash in G4 Plus.
There are no changes in the front-facing camera, there is the same 5-megapixel camera. Also, another similarity between Moto G5 Plus and G4 Plus is 3,000 mAH non-removable battery with TurboPower charging.
Moto G5 Plus runs Android 7.0 Nougat while G4 Plus comes with Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow but with an update, both phones run same android version. The new phone comes with two color variants, Lunar Grey and Fine Gold while old one offered simple color variants black and white.
Standard Moto G5 Plus costs $229 that is $50 more than $180 G4 Plus. It is not much compared to powerful processor, advanced camera, and fingerprint sensor.
