Why should I get the Moto G5 over the Nokia 5? They both have the same CPU and same amount of RAM, they both have fingerprint readers, they both have metal bodies, they both run stock android nougat... And then the Nokia 5 runs 7.1.1 and has a 3000 mAh battery, while the moto G5 runs 7.0 and has a 2800 mAh cell, and costs a bit more than the Nokia 5.

      I like the G5 duo, they seem like pretty decent mid-rangers from Moto. BTW that f/1.7 dual pixel 12 MP camera in the G5 Plus sounds a lot like the S7's snapper!

                Why did they went with the smaller 5.2" display is beyond me.Moto g5 could've catered to the compact audience.5.5" ws really a sweet spot.

                  what about the sensors, is it vr and daydream compatible?

                              AnonD-593883, 26 Feb 2017what's the word on if the battery is removable or not?It looks to be removable. I like both the LG G5 and the Motorola Moto G5. The rear design is nice, decent size, and good price. Removable battery and fast charging should be mandatory requirements for every future purchase for a smartphone. Only thing I wished it had was 3-4 GB of RAM. Moto does have a close to stock skin.

                                  So it's stuck in 2Gb of RAM? I want 3Gb or more tho, but the 625 chip just makes everything better.

                                    Moto G5 Plus is as good as Moto Z play Lets see what is the difference of prices in these two here in or may be Moto z play price falls downn as it is one year old phone

                                      I think it's funny..

                                      Moto G and Z have the biggest bezels and no one complains about it.

                                      Only about Xperia or iPhone.

                                      G5 is 4mm taller than XZ. Same 5,2 display.
