          Hi. I've complained and emailed Motorola at least two times after the disaster of my old Moto G4 (water damage) and have voiced out how can they improve things. Now, with planning on buying a G5 Plus I have three main concerns (which I need to say again):
          1. Having no compass or magnetometer means location services apps like Google Maps (which I use on a daily basis for walking navigation due to the nature of my work and during holiday looking for a nearby restaurant or a place of interest) may function and perform slower than a device with compass. True?
          2. Advanced nano coating - I'm worried that when i use my phone in light rain or an accidental drop in the sink might damage the internals when water enter small holes such as mic, speakers, USB port and grooves in-between buttons. So, is it safe or not?
          3. Updates - We all know when Lenovo took over Moto updates have been very slow with the current G5 lineup still stuck with 7.0. I'm not into rooting so I depend highly on updates straight from the OEM. But with a near-stock and seemingly optimised software is this a cause for concern? Or better to stick it out with Samsung or Sony which does faster updates?
          Some minor concerns are:
          1. G5 Plus speakers sound a bit tinnier than last year's model?
          2. Camera seem bland and has no image stabilisation apart from a pseudo-EIS at 1080p 30fps but still better than last year?
          3. Storage is UFS type or eMMC 5.1?

                              Gino76, 10 May 2017We might not see the first devices till Q4 to be realistic.... moreAsus zenfone 4 series is going to launch soon...I dont know whether they exist in UK or not but I think the base variant would definitely have the sd630...basically nowadays their phones are very costly

                                how to reboot / restart moto g5+ . & why Next launcher is not working on it . which is the best launcher for it ...?

                                  Sunil, 10 May 2017SD660 is already available for consumers, by end of may or ... moreWe might not see the first devices till Q4 to be realistic. But if there are improvements albeit incremental then I'm up for it. Till then I'll stick with what I have right now.

                                    Anonymous, 10 May 2017May be xiaomiProblem with Xiaomi is they are mostly available online and not widely available here in EU. Customer support is almost non-existent and if something happens to the phone it will be difficult to find a place for repair other than to return it.
