Moto G5

I'm confused! Which is the better phone, the G5S or the G5 Plus. Not to be confused with the G5S Plus!!!

You do realise that the G5 is being replaced this month by the Moto G6 variants?

G5 Plus, faster processor, better camera.

Yes, but the G6 has a much larger screen!!

Yes, but the G6 has a much larger screen!!

the G5 has the fingerprint scanner on the front which limits the size of the actual screen
The G6 scanner is on the rear

Slight correction - The Moto G6 fingerprint scanner is on the front as well.

Can I ask where you got your G6 Play from?

ballyblack

Argos for £169

But purchased another from o2 on line for £129 locked, no top up required

In o2 shop they charge you futher £10 for PAYG o2 top up

Easily unlocked on ebay for £3

Very pleased with phones and its big screen & battery

I was going to ask about the version from O2. Someone on hotukdeals suggested that theirs was unlocked, or at least it worked with an EE & a Plusnet sim. Is it definitely locked and does it come loaded with any O2 bloatware on it?

I have ordered it online will get it shortly

But I recently bought a G5 from o2 and it was locked to that network when I put a Voda sim in it

Had to put in a non o2 Sim in to enter unlock code from ebay

There is no bloatware! only the o2 App easily disabled
