Motorola Moto G5S - User Reviews

  • Try reset factory or using adb command but only re instal network related. Most of us just fine no issue, although i have bad carrrier but signal fine. For wifi try "forget network" than connect again

  • New security update this month

  • Horrible, no compass means can't use some android application like photo pills. Next time I will make sure I purchase a phone with compass.

  • Can someone helps me in restoring my contacts from clouds to this phone

  • No bugs bro. Just a very lovely phone. Perfect in making. I

  • Still a great device last security patch receveid yesterday.

  • I just buyed It and for now I really like it. But a thing is weird, I have an XT1094 and it does not have a compasss like it's written in the specs here. I bought it from France.

  • February security update received

  • I like it

  • its ok

  • Maybe needs factory reset after install oreo to avoid crash applications or slow device .That's happened on G5s plus.

  • Also Oreo 8.1 received with December 2018 security.Update via Cosmote Greece

  • I received update Oreo 8.1, I live in Greece

  • Finally I received update on Oreo 8.1 on my G5s, greetings from Serbia

  • I´m guessing they will not fix. They don´t care. That´s why my money and future recommendations will go with HMD Nokia. Thanks Lenovo for ruining an exceptional brand like motorola.

  • It discharges fast and doesn't stand more than 11 hours a day while using . I am so disappointed. I thought 3000 mah battery would last like a whole day but it doesn't . Except this everything is good

  • No need updates with bugs .In G5s plus after Oreo update, wi-fi and 4g disconnects frequently and reconnects automatically.Also lost sensivity in weak signal area

  • Motorola never again

  • No Oreo, and quite honeslty I think it may never arrive not that the G7 is on the horizon. Bottom line, avoid Motorola at all. Choose a Nokia instead , they care about their phones and support. I understand the E or C they leave behind, what I don´t understand at all, is this phone beeing left behind....I know that certain countries did receive the update, so what are they awaiting (to realse to others if they plan to relase at all??!)

  • I am from India and today I received the December update.

  • Planning to upgrade it today from G4 play also is there any bugs in Oreo please let me know.

  • Me also

  • No Oreo update in Romania. Actually no update since June 2017. I will sell the phone. So disappointed...

  • Still nothing..... It will arrive......eventually.....

  • Still nothing in Serbia 🤔

  • Yes. My phone got an update on 20th November. I live in Poland.

  • no , so far.....

  • Does anyone get Oreo update on G5s in Europe???

  • Differences in specification ,build quality,delay in updates ,all depends on market ,is the bad point of Motorola Lenovo .

  • Hey, you forgot about nfc. At least XT1794 (Europe, India) has got it

  • I am from India. Recently I got October 2018 security update

  • I updated to Oreo, a month back. In India.

  • Yes, I have Oreo. Wish I didn't, constant connectivity issues with WiFi and 4G, and screen response issues.

  • Does anyone have the Oreo update ?

  • Still no updates since June security update

  • Try factory reset

  • had for 6 months, ran fine then started shutting down, will not function with google chrome, will only stay on for a reasonable amount of time when in battery saver mode......

  • It heats

  • My phone starts flickering when the screen is kept on without any operation for few minutes. I tried auto dim and all but nothing works...

  • Argun, i have test both camera on the same location and the same time. which is the sensor in g5s?

  • If you search, G5s uses the same photo sensor as Samsung S6.Maybe your camera fail ,but first try shot with other camera application.

  • bad camera, samsung S6 camera is still better than this

  • After using it for a year phone ran flawlessly about 11 months after that it started hanging touch issues even after resetting it twice.

  • Enable auto screen dim

  • My Moto G5s is having "flickering screen" whenever i am browsing something on the internet. I thought this is a good phone but i was wrong.

  • Yes there is some bug sometimes it working sometime it's not and pretty slow also they also remove the option clear catche cookies option from storage.

  • I feel there is a bug in using the fingerprint sensor after the update. What is your opinion?

  • Today I got the Oreo update for Moto G5s in India after manually checking for new update.

  • Got the Oreo update 8.1.0. Everything working fine. Battery optimization is better. Looks are not that much different than Nougat 7.1. I am happy for the update :-)

  • You may receive it soon. There r some bugs in the new OS.

  • update to oreo 8.1 not ready at this moment . what i can do to update to oreo 8.1 my country it's Egypt

  • I got Oreo 8.1 update yesterday. In India. Different look. My model no. is XT1795

  • Using this phone since 4 months, never faced any problem.. got the oreo 8.1.0 update today itself 😍😍

  • When will it get oreo update? Totally disappointed

  • Anyone received new security update ? No updates since June security update

  • Please help me how to download Moto g5s zip files.

  • how can I get the UK used one and the price. I need it badly

  • Where is the update?? I am excited for the Oreo update... B-)

  • According Moto forum India,Brazil will be the first get oreo

  • Which location r u from?

  • Got oreo yesterday, so for good.no problems

  • One of the best Phone I've had!!

  • Camera tip .Try not use face detection in night photo.Always use flash on ,not auto mode, for people faces for night photos

  • Try the "better camera" application .Shoot @ 8 mp

  • I am not satisfied with the camera's performance even though I am not using it to maximum MP. The photos don't look good. Pls guide

  • An excellent phone with superior Full HD display and high resolution camera. The Android 7.1.1 works seamlessly with the high speed Octa-core processor. It has a good battery backup; an excellent smartphone from Motorola worth every penny.

  • Camera of this phone surprised me .Try some pro application from google store, pictures are bright and very good also at night.So roll back stock camera to initial version, turn it off, and use new application as main.If someone give a try ,for better result try not shoot at max. MP

  • GPS locks fast.So enable it for each navigation .Better use nav program with compass direction with pois and other info included .In this point,google maps is bad application compared.

  • I purchased the G5S as a backup phone. I used it on a trip to Vienna while my my Nokia 8 was in for repairs after a bicycle crash. The G5S did a stellar job on all fronts except with Google Maps in walking mode. Contrary to the phone specs on GSM Arena, the G5S does NOT have a compass. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moto_G5#Moto_G5S_­and_G5S_Plus). This has as consequence that Google Maps cannot show in which direction you are walking. It can only plot your position on the map.

  • Best VFM phone ,nice metal build.Very smooth operation,hope future updates don't break in.Very fast stable gps,nice photo camera also selfies one due flash.Back flash lights in a second dark room.Fast nfc,very good reception radio .Get hot sometimes on wifi use ,slippery needs case.Looks like some made in india ,maybe build variations for cost.

  • According other forum g5 series will follow.But first need oreo update if coming

  • According motorola blog ,Android Pie will be served up this fall for moto g6 plus,moto g6,moto g6 play,moto z2,moto z3 depends on market .Not Moto G4,Moto G5,MotoE series

  • From some reports, looks like got in some market since end July

  • Doesn`t have compass.

  • When will i get the Oreo update?

  • Solved. Am so happy now. Thanks to XDA guys. Those guys are guru

  • Moto g5S I mean

  • I just bought my moto g5 just last 3 weeks. I went into *#*#4636#*#* and mistakenly select US radio band network and since then, no network on Sim 1 and no other option to select. Pls what do I do?

  • 1) Try find FrontFlash Notification apllication 2) Clear open tasks 3) Try other camera apllication ,work ok with flash on not auto 4)Depends on version and local rules for noise

  • It's good phone. Using it since a month. Problems i found were that... 1) No LED notification 2) Laggs sometimes 3) Flash is not soo good. 4) Speakers are ok

  • No need oreo with bugs .Just latest security updates

  • No word about oreo

  • I bought the phone yesterday and so far its worth the amount.

  • Just bought this phone yesterday after upgrading from g4 play. Am enjoying it. But how come mine has NFC and it is XT1794

  • Sure moto

  • i have the same question!

  • For better camera and overall easy of use, G5s

  • this one, or Nokia 6?

  • As Lenovo said, will be soon .The point is to be without faults .Motorola Z2 latest upgrade to Android 8 have many bugs.

  • Is it upgradable to Oreo 8.0..??

  • Depends on market .Not real need .GPS locks very fast.Use nav program with compass indicator

  • In this mobile compass sensor available?

  • Still not available..

  • No battery back up don't buy this shit phone

  • Just download June security update

  • For lag try clean phone with application.Also unload application do not use. .For heat maybe netwok problem .Try set in 2g for calling and switch to 4G if only need .

  • I bought a Moto G5S day before yesterday. It's good overall but my phone gets lagged and heated. Some pop up sound like tic tic comes in between.

  • Yes it's heats up

  • Don't go for it, not good for internet

  • 1st gsmarena give us wrong information, ex g5s does not have compass.g5s not a good phone at all, i use approx 8 budget phone under 10k . Here is my review- Avg camera (not impresive, flash power also not good), for internet use (not good),battery avg (not too bad) , no volte option, and i get minor defect - a little light through the sound key from inside when display is on. Thats .. Before u bye read this .. Thank you

  • any one reply me whether it will over heating or normal

  • i want clarification regarding this phone is heating or not

  • Will it get oreo? If so when can we expect the rollout?

  • is it ok for browsing the net, is that part fast, i don't care about games, camera etc just solid battery would be nice :)

  • Moto g5s mobile it's very heat

  • It´s a good phone but depends on your expectations. For basic use ok....if you need more go for the plus instead

  • Yes, I I have reset the phone and it seems to be OK. Now. But still it hangs occasionally. Not a very good phone.

  • Could you specify what´s really happening ? Have you tried a to reset your phone?

  • It's 4gb.

  • This phone takes very nice photos.Over similar range devices .Surprised me.

  • It may have the 430 when there´s already available the 450 or even the 625 that outperforms completly the 430. But if what your after is simple whatsapp messaging, coouple of photos, or or social apps, i think it´s more than capable to cope with most of those tasks quite easily. It´s still one of my favorites below 150€ range. The g5 plus is still the better option, but the cameras on the G5s are much better.Oh, and it comes with android stock free of bloatware

  • Just receive April system update for android 7.1

  • my don't work.

  • Only 3 GB.

  • I recently purchased Moto G5 from Perth Australia, JB Hi Fi and it has been shutting down randomly. I went though online blogs and one of them suggested to disable Google App. I did that and the phone did not get better. I have 12 moths international warranty, but it is useless for me since I am not living in Australia. There is nothing I can do except pray and hope for the best. I hope the next upgrade Motorola will do some thing about it. I used had Motorola phone before and it works well. Any suggestions please Saeed

  • Moto G5S phone is available with 4GB Ram or not?

  • No Compass? But in specs it says there is a compass.

  • Best value phone offer.Very smooth operation.Fast connection gps,so no need compass.Nice photo camera,strong flash lights dark room.No nfc for my device ,also very simple radio .Get hot on use network internet data.Maybe some different version available for same phone.Seen varies selling in Netherland.Some gold color made in India ,grey made in China.Some report Motorola uk in back cover .So need search for the differences .Slippery needs case

  • no compass,no gyro ,so its crappy for GPS

  • Difference in camera in latest version ? What about new camera application ?

  • Many variants of this phone depends on market or provider.Also no radio recording,RDS info on radio in some devices.As the lack of nfc function for some of them.

  • No mentioned by motorola. Phones made in India after December 2017, have this function.Also new stock camera application.

  • According to Motorola the G5S has no e-compass.

  • For flash version maybe depends on made in .Date or other factory .Also NFC not have all models too.

  • So Moto must be selling random spec under the same model because I had the same model with single led flash, I never used flash even on my DSLR though , flash ruins images unless in studio conditions

  • Your Moto g5s has a dual tone flash ? Mine had a single led

  • XT1793 uk version, dual tone for me

  • For e compass try connect via gps and check direction if show North with compass application .Also maybe work with internet connection with compass application.

  • G5s doesn't have dual tone flash at all. Regardless of using stock app or not, dual tone flash is hardware not software

  • There is no known info that the G5S has an e-compass. Please kindly confirm and double check? And if i may ask you would you rather have a phone that has slow Cat4 LTE but with an e-compass or compass? Or a phone with faster Cat6 LTE but no compass at all?

  • Compass not need as phone locks GPS very fast .Also support e compass

  • Dual tone flash not work with stock camera .For other application try use auto flash or standard flash depends on light condition

  • I found bacon camera app only worked with my phone's that didn't have full api2 or whatever it is, so it doesn't work with my Xperia X compact, but I found another camera app which isn't quite as good as bacon but it does the same thing and works on my Xperia, which is called freedcam , again it enables the noise reduction to be turned off, thankfully because the Xperia is mushy in anything other than bright sun

  • I got rid of my g5s within a few weeks as it wasn't as good as my Xperia X compact or Moto G3 and Moto G2 , I didn't test for a compass but Google maps worked ok for me, not sure how you test for a compass to be honest , my star gazing apps worked fine on it, rotating round and accurately finding the right directions

  • Yes bacon camera is a third party app that can enable you to turn off the nasty blotchy noise reduction, I prefer noise to blotches , and yes unfortunately the flash is single LED

  • Yes I am talking about the actual flash. Dual-tone for me is better than a single one. Bacon camera is an app?

  • The problem I can see there are so many conflicting/inaccurate/incomplete infos by Motorola like for example someone said here the E4Plus has dual-band wifi and a compass, the UK website doesn't say so and the Twitter support DM said the same thing. So it's very confusing. I'm from the GB too and I would imagine the retail version in the UK is similar to that of the mainland EU. And does the G5S actually have a compass or e-compass?

  • The camera on my g5s wasn't dual tone, do you mean the flash? It's a single LED The flash on the front is also single LED I used bacon camera to bypass the horrible noise reduction as well , plus you get to edit the contrast, saturation, etc before you take a pic in bacon camera meaning you can bypass the poor dull colours when in low light

  • Some features depend on the market your phone is from , mine was retail gb unlocked, I can only answer one or two questions. The single button navigation doesn't add more screen, it just removes the superimposed onscreen navigation buttons, so you see the screen behind the buttons, also the speaker is ok, not fantastic but clear enough , and not loud but adequate. I preferred the stereo sound of my moto G2 and my iPhone 7 , my current Xperia X compact is stereo too but the max volume is about the same as Moto g5s I think

  • For any users out there I would like to ask: 1. Does the screen-to-body ratio actually improves when you disable the on-screen nav buttons? 2. Is the wifi dual-band? 3. Is the rear camera equipped with dual-tone camera? 4. How loud are the speakers? And are they any louder than the original phone? 5. Does it actually have a magnetometer (e-compass) or compass?

  • G5s better camera than G5s plus ,both very fast smooth operation,almost stock android .Samsung only better int the support of video call over gsm

  • J5 '17 vs Moto G5 vs Moto G5S? Why?

  • Depends on version.Also India made phones are other build overall

  • Wrost phone advise user to check and then buy

  • maybe its ur opinion if one spends this much money on moto , we deserve quick OS updated rather than security patchup Even in security patchup Xiaomi is lot better

  • No need oreo update with bugs as other phones

  • People moaning about Moto g5/g5s plus , g5s/g5s plus not getting Oreo yet, have you checked out the forums for the brand's already updating to Oreo ? Sony , Samsung, Nokia ,etc it's not all a bed of roses, so as for OS update I'm not fussed, all I'd like is more consistency with security patches

  • No need compass because phone connect to gps very fast .Also download program for google play for use as front flash notification in incoming calls ,missing sms etc

  • will sim 2 slot support VOLTE

  • I bought this phone from Mediamarkt, Germany. It is very nice budget phone. Comes with stock android, and no additional apps installed, it looks really fresh. Battery, Camera, and turbo charger rocks! Fingerprint reader is really fast compared to iPhone SE. In my experience, it is very nice phone. However, one biggest problem is Motorola has forgotten to include compass sensor. Many people might not feel the necessity of compass, but I really miss this feature. And I wish there were notification led, so you wont notice until you open your phone,

  • Thx

  • It's stock android with light Moto touches , like gestures I guess and slow security updates :-) I got a g5s because I couldn't be bothered looking for a phone over £200 , just moved from IPhone 7 and wanted a change from iOS for a while. The Moto is pretty good to use though apart from you won't get the badges showing the number of email , SMS, etc that you have unread , but you could always use nova launcher for that and then install the little extra bits from the nova launcher developers, which adds the badge notification updates, plus it adds good Google pixel type swipes and such , and for the camera app I use bacon camera instead of the Moto camera, Moto one is rubbish, white balance inconsistencies, over aggressive noise reduction etc

  • Hi, That model Moto G5S have android stock? or is modified? THX

  • Yesterday I received February security patch in india

  • Both camera quality is very good.High color depth .In night shot use apllication from goolge play for manual mode

  • good but not fast than g5 + because of 430 snapdragon

  • You can't turn off the vibration for the fingerprint reader unless you activate battery saving mode unfortunately

  • please tell me how to switch off the vibration of finger print ... its consuming battery and I want to switch it off for Moto G 5S ... please help me ... Thanks

  • Photo quality is one of the best this period .For night use other aplication than stock .

  • GSM Arena when are you doing a review of this handset?? I have one and can tell you the performance is fast & smooth for a Snapdragon 430 and camera is better than G5S Plus especially using HDR

  • Now available security update date december 2017 .UK version phone

  • I have xt 1795 model in india no nfc 4 gb ram 32 gb rom hybrid sim fast charger 1 hour 40 minutes 14000 indian rupees

  • wt about battry

  • Good phone for this price, camera surprised me..

  • no led light on this model

  • Could you tell me g5s have a pulse light???

  • So what isn't made apparent (and I've only just found out having purchased this phone) is that you can have an SD card OR a second SIM. But not both. After having to return the G5 purchased in May last year because the second SIM was only 2G compatible and there is no longer 2G availability in Australia (the major carrier switched it off before the G5 was released here and the promised update to allow 4G/3G compatibility never eventuated), I've now discovered that it's not possible to have 2 SIMS plus the SD card as I could in the G5. Motorola do a pretty poor job of outlining "limitations" in their specs. I'm just hoping the extra internal storage will negate the need for the SD card.

  • Thanks for that nitsar. I wonder if you have found any youtube video/recording of the G5S vibrator? I can't believe that this phone went to production with such a loud vibration motor! Thanks again!

  • G5S has high vibrator motor .Also according Motorola scandic, G5s have Samsung S6 camera sensor.Also radio works from speaker without phones connected.

  • Battery life is it's weakest point.It's just poor

  • Hi guys, I have both Moto G5 and G5S. Can someone confirm that the vibrator motor of G5S is MUCH MUCH MUCH louder than that of G5? The seller claims this is normal, but I really want an opinion from a G5S owner. Thanks.

  • What? Hisilicon 655 has no a72 cores. and its not as powerful as snapdragon 625. soo.. wat r u sayin?

  • Sir for me GR3 is better because HiSilicon Kirin 655 is almost thesame power as Snapdragon 625 but the cores of HiSilicon Kirin 655 is similar to Snapdragon 650 series 2 of its powerful Cortex A-72 cores have high GHz while the 4 cores is on average GHz cause its only for battery life and energy effeciency cores while HiSilicon Kirin 655 of GR3 has 4 of its A-53 is powered at 2.1GHz while the 4 other cores is powered at 1.8GHz on Snapdragon 430 of Moto G5S 4 of its cores is powered at 1.4GHz while the other 4 cores is powered at 1.1GHz so in performance i prefer GR3 but in GPU hmmm I DONT KNOW because adreno is way better than mali but mali T830 is pretty better than adreno 505 also G5S has update to 8.0 Oreo in the future so u prefered:)

  • Radio supports rds function for uk version

  • moto G5s or GR3 2017 is better???

  • I use alternative G5s and G5 plus ,as business phones offered . Camera quality in selfie camera in G5s is much better than g5 plus .Now included led flash ,more sensitive lens .Back camera's have led between brighter and soft when need.All led can use also with continue lighting during photo/video by stock software. Using a kind of straight beam .In full dark room bright well to take good photo at 1,5 m .GPS lock in 1-3 second in G5s .Updates on G5S plus latest on july 2017 .On G5s latest October 2017 .Overall construction looks better on G5s. More metal ,brighter mode screen ,better battery management .There is no notification led on both of them .This is also problem when charging battery.Don't know when is full charged .Attention about battery.Ιn some version there is no removable battery on G5S.

  • GSMArena when you doing a review of this and the 5S Plus??

  • Some version maybe have not compass .Phones available from UK over Europe, mentioned have together with NFC function .Another question not answered for sure ,if the phone have notification led or maybe able by application . There is also a motorola application do that from the past.

  • UK version has NFC

  • How long the battery remains once it is fully charged? Considering the processor can one go with this?

  • i have motog5s dual sim xt1794 , nfc is included , android beam with nfc . Radio fm is included . Daul sim or sim+microsd supported .

  • Does the XT1794 version have NFC or Not?

  • China version has NFC and using ZUI

  • OK, why did Motorola remove the compass from all their phones except this one? It is essential for map navigation. I would go for the G5s plus, but that one doesn't have compass. Really big oversight.

  • same here iam also having 4gb ram

  • people opt for g5 plus which is having way better processor at same price. I dont understand why motorola launched this while they already had g5 plus in market with better specs and same dimensions. I really cant find a reason. Is motorola the next samsung?

  • camera quality is way better on g5 plus at same price. Consider that one for camera

  • Breaks easily, unlike all other Moto G phones. Disappointing, don't bother.

  • You can install sim adapter and use it to run your SD card with your sim card all simultaneously. Costs around Rs 150 in Amazon India

  • Redmi Note 4 is also a good option

  • Do you have G5s ? What is the model ?

  • There is no compass sensor.

  • which one is best lenovo k8 note 4gb ram or moto g5s both are same price....

  • Hello Team, There is another variant right now I am using that is of 4gb RAM, can you please let me when we are going to get the android upgrade on this. Thanks,

  • Yes it is Hybrid... Two sims at a time or one sim and one memory card at a time.

  • its hybrid slot or not

  • Really disappointed by it's non hd cameras.I thought it was a good to go Moto phone

  • Blue Colour Variant Of Moto G5s Launched

  • Only night rumors image , but in cinditions very dark , with illumination external image normal ( light rumors )

  • Yes support otg .

  • Front camera eccellent , front camera moto g5s with flash . Rear camera 16 mpx in day very good image, in night rumors in the image , in afternoon good image . Stability system very good .

  • is the google map's show's directions in this phone

  • please tell me.......this phone has compass? gsm arena specs indicates that this phone has compass?? please.....bcoz i need compass....for gps nav?please reply me......

  • can anyone assure about front camera quality ?

  • Does it support screen mirroring and OTG? Apparently it is a good choice.

  • Yes, it's a nice set. Price is reasonable too.

  • Excellent camera. You are talking nonsense.

  • It has hybrid sim slot but if you want dedicated slot you can use Hybrid sim adapter.........

  • ye u r right...It is a full metal body phone ...and now a days every phone get heat whn u play games or charge mobile...

  • But You can use google map very smoothly

  • Yes It has Fm Radio.....

  • My phone is working very well and camera is great even front camera also has a gr8 quality

  • Please don't buy this phone the camera is very poor pic quality just like 3.5 mega pix not 13 which they offered

  • No. Next new fone without notification diode :(

  • Does it contain a LED notification light?

  • It does have FM radio

  • Does it have fm radio for sure, anyone???

  • does it support voLTE ??

  • There is no compass sensor in this phone

  • Ya I am also facing this problem .it heats while charging.i think it's because of turbo charging and also it has metalbody

  • I feel that I don't get clear voice from right side mic.means when I talk from right side I need to keep phone more closer to mouth left side it's ok..any idea?

  • Definitely like it. I was considering buying Xiaomi A1 and everyone telling that there are no good alternative with stock Android. But I totally satisfied with this phone hardware and software. Also, it's a great feature that you can use fingerprint scanner as a button with gestures (so annoying buttons on display are hidden).

  • Purchased on September 4th phone is smooth n good . Good cameras both rear n front totally good mobile.

  • A compass is necessary for me too. The G5 doesn't have one, despite what it says on this site. Anyone know of a ~€200 phone that does?

  • Does this phone actually have a compass? Would someone that has it please check for me that Google Sky Map works?

  • This sphone is compatible with the WiFi 802.11 AC! But I still not tested which is the real capacity over it

  • You can easily find it in the market (not online).

  • Buddy, it this is not good phone that you probably there is no phone for you in the market with such great price.

  • Yes it is water resistant. You can keep it in the water jar and place in the freeze.

  • Does it have hybrid sim or dual sim and dedicated microsd slot?

  • No, it is not waterproof, but it features a feature water-repellent nano-coating technology that makes it splash proof. This technology makes a water repellent barrier to help protect against moderate exposure to water such as accidental spills, splashes or light rain. Not designed to be submersed in water, or exposed to pressurized water, or other liquids.

  • Is moto g5s water resistance ?

  • Its not 16Mp camera.. very poor performance in this segment....other vise its good phone... am not satisfied

  • the phone is simply superb..... no lang, no hang, but only one thing is it heats up while charging i think just beacuse of metal body maybe... but overall phone is very very good.....is anybody facing this issue ????

  • Do Moto G5 and G5s support compass and radio FM in France?

  • the Motorola G5s haven't been released as yet.

  • Hybrid sim slot?

  • Can anyone tell me if this phone has led notification light on the front panel for whats app and messaging......

  • Good mobile till now.... Bought 2weeks back.. but still can't get back cover for it...😥 Back cover is available for g5s plus in online.. but not for g5s...

  • I had one of these for less than a day. Lovely build quality,screen etc but the camera was absolutely awful. I am unsure if mine was faulty or not but the camera quality was blurry,the view finder was all hazy and images turned out the same. Camera lens was clean and it focused but images were horrible

  • no

  • No

  • Otg support?

  • Motorola using a cheapest Motherboard for G series

  • No

  • Does the 2nd sim operate in 3g?

  • My G4 Play works fine till now. Lenovo won't ruin Motorola. Lenovo is just owner.

  • Is battery removable? can anyone confirm please?

  • In India this phone is coming with 4GB Ram. This phone display is better than G5S Plus

  • At that time google owned the Motorola.g4 was the first phone that Moto launched after Lenovo take over the Moto.

  • Is battery still removable?

  • with 250 EUR price your killing the king of budget smartphones

  • Problem with Motorola is no one cared about non plus variant. Why can't they launch this as moto e series.. Why wasting resources

  • None of the G5 series (G5, G5 Plus, G5S, G5S Plus) have a compass in the UK, I would assume that its the same for the rest of Europe.

  • moto g5s have compass? are you sure? also in Europe market?

  • Get moto G5 plus instead

  • True

  • Yeah... Not expensive..

  • anybody tell me Moto G5S is available in India?????

  • What about NFC?

  • Moto E4 plus

  • Lenovo is one of the best phone company. Even my 2 years old Moto G works fine.

  • Is battery still removable?

  • I always defend Lenovo, but if that is the price "250 EUR", I'll agree with the others now "Lenovo Ruined Motorola"

  • is this 3gb ram or 4gb ram

  • plz tell me that have any Moto Mobile of 4G with 4/4.2 tft screen with 2gb ram and 4000mah battery and with good camera????

  • wait for motorola X demon (replacement X ghost) shatter prove 4.7", SD835, RAM 4Gb, 4000MAh, stereo front speakers, IRIS recognition

  • Nice cam for a 250 eur phone but battery wont last long if you like to take photos often. Anyway looks good.

  • This phone should be amoled display and direct video calling facility. It also have octa 2 ghz processor snapdragon 615 or 625. And last it has 5000 mah battery and 8 mp front camera then it made better under 14000. I want moto g5s phone but its price is very high

  • Ok, this is not something I want. My hopes for Moto G6 (non-plus) are, Snapdragon 450 or better, 4.7" screen, small bezels, removable battery AND a compass.

  • Yeah still prefer removeable battery, friend of mine bought flagship Huawei and broke battery flexible (normal drop), never happen to Motorola

  • Has in this phone native video calling. This phone has only lowest battery 2800 mah this is bad and i want octa core 1.8 ghz processor in this phone. And want 64 gb internal and didicated memory slot and 16 mp back camera. The most important part is battery and i want it is 4500 mah battery and last point is phone should be amoled display under 13000

  • support otg ?

  • The HTC X10 is probably the only other phone with somewhat stock Android and a 4000 mah battery

  • Moto g5s has :16mp rear camera :5mp front camera :Nougat 7.1.1 :4gb RAM :32gb rom

  • I still loves my moto g (1st gen) due to its comfortable screen size (4.5"). Most of the time in my busy day to day life, its difficult to use my G5 by using both hand. Hope through this platform, I can grab attention of Moto design engineers towards vacant sub 5" mid-range smartphones.

  • usb type c...

  • Looks better than the G5 and I'm happy to see the "M" dimple come back. I also like that it's going to have 4GB RAM and the 5.2" screen would be ideal for my tiny hands. That Snapdragon 430 is a tiny bit worrying, though. Hope it's released soon, I'm due an upgrade :)

  • apart from Moto, which smartphone who has Android Stock UI and a 4100 mAh battery?

  • r u serious with snapdragon 430??? really.

  • Still better looking than j7 2017 imo

  • Don't buy this model bec. In this model motorola use a cheap mother board... motorola use the advanced chipset in G4 model.

  • But g5s only has snapdragon 430 tho.

  • Wait, the G5 + was 5.2" and no removable battery, right? So now this one has 4 GB of RAM AND removable battery? Hmm, a bit confusing. Has it got compass as well?

  • Am I the only who hates camera like this, Lenovo turned Moto into sh!t
