Motorola Moto G5 Plus
I picked up an unlocked Motorola Moto G5 Plus (XT1687) today as a replacement for my LG K7 (which aside from being really outdated is an excellent phone in its own right) and after using the Moto G5 Plus for a few hours I have to say that I really like it so far.
It’s the perfect size for my needs, fast, and it hits every check mark on my admittedly small list of things I wanted despite it being considered a “budget phone”.
A lot of reviews complained about the lack NFC on the American model and lack of USB-C, but neither of those things really matter to me.
Quick device overview:
- Android 7.0, Nougat
- 2.0GHz octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor
- Adreno 506 GPU
- 4GB RAM
- 64GB internal storage
- 12MP rear camera with dual autofocus and a 5MP front facing camera
- 3000 mAh battery with a TurboPower charger
- Compatible with all major U.S. carriers.
I also bought a black Incipio NGP case as well as their Plex HD “High Clarity” Screen Protector for it which will hopefully keep the Moto G5 well protected for some time to come.
