No complaints, the phone delivers a crystal clear voice quality. Does best what a phones supposed to do.
[Moto G5S  Real Life Review] 7opex0:
Well, I have no problems with call quality even with weak signal. My previous phone (SGS II) was really "noisy". My Moto G5S (XT1794-RU) outputs outstanding voice quality.
[Moto G5S  Real Life Review] The_Ace:
I do experience an slight lower call volume output in my earpiece even with the volume slider maxed out.

Please don't think I am blabbering amongst the phones I've used, this is the one with Lowest call volume. But the speaker phones is quite fine though.

[Moto G5S  Real Life Review] ShattrdChain:
Disappointed. The WiFi connection drops repeatedly (while my other phone, right next to the G5S, is working just fine). The WiFi is unreliable, slow and plain irritating.
[Moto G5S  Real Life Review] GuestD2078:
Also expected more. My house has 6 devices including my G5S, it is set at a high priority on my router but it's the first to disconnect when other people are using the Wi-Fi.
[Moto G5S  Real Life Review] kazuto_kirito:
Yes many times it disconnect it self and used to show no WiFi or connect no network even if the WiFi is connected to network access

Using it on Verizon, it works great as a communications device. I've had almost zero problems with it getting a good signal except in places where I knew I wasn't going to get one anyways. It really does keep up Motorola's reputation for strong radios.
[Moto G5S  Real Life Review] ShattrdChain:
No issues here. The phone has a great signal quality. Data works great even in low signal areas and is a dependable phone even in travel.

Well Said..!

I was a pixel user. After trying this phone. I totally moved to G5S. Specifically the battery backup....loving it overall....

Hoping to see ROM's soon...
[Moto G5S Plus Real Life Review] rasik107:
smooth performance ,

good memory mgmt ,

good display ,

bit a small battery for a 5.5" FHD display !!!

but , SD 625 helps there :P
[Moto G5S Plus Real Life Review] Premkrishna:
So does that mean SD 820 / 825 is optimized for greater battery backup or its just the SD 625 that does the magic?

Just curious to know.
[Moto G5S Plus Real Life Review] rasik107:
both chipsets are great and manufactured on 14nm FinFET Process...

both are battery friendly also due to 14nm process !

for great performance + power efficiency we can consider 820 and ,

for mid-range performance + power efficiency we can consider 625 (625 performs well , not doubt :D )

[Moto G5S Plus Real Life Review] Moto Singh:
In Love

I am in love with this baby. Only the thing I am upset with Moto team is of the disabled LED light near the front camera. What logic is that? If that is for rooted phones then why rooting should void warranty? Nonsense! They don't want customers to enjoy the features in legal way.
[Moto G5S Plus Real Life Review] Geogliff:
Why do you need LED light when you have Moto Display...?
[Moto G5S Plus Real Life Review] ashikns:
Because moto display wakes up at the slightest hint of movement. If I place it on my bed and I sit on the other end of bed it will light up. That's going to waste a lot of battery
[Moto G5S Plus Real Life Review] manojmohanty:
1 star less for the camera.
[Moto G5S Plus Real Life Review] Aayush124:
Hi I am new to xda I would like to ask u on a scale from 1 to 10 how much would u give to pixel and how much to g5s plus.
[Moto G5S Plus Real Life Review] Recrux:
That is my biggest gripe with this phone too. Disabling the led notification light makes no sense. I don't like the Moto notifications. Turning on the screen again and again at the smallest movement uses a lot of battery.

Otherwise, this is a great phone. I moved from the LG Stylo 2 plus. I really like the screen, more RAM, faster processor, and fingerprint scanner on the front.
[Moto G5S Plus Real Life Review] taufiiqqq:
The phone was good, very good in terms of performance. But I had one only for 11 days because my screen cracked after just a 3 feet drop (!). Sold it and bought a Mi A1, and the latter one is better.
[Moto G5S Plus Real Life Review] jhonnyx1000:
Pretty solid phone. The stock ROM is very sufficient with a non-too-shabby camera and focus features, however I found using Open Camera yielded faster and crisper results. The battery life is quite expected to last a day and charge times are usually an hour and a half with fast charge. There's a much anticipated Oero update on its way which might improve a lot of the features. On custom ROMs, this instance being Oreo, it is very much faster and succintly utilises battery and RAM to apply a wide variety of tweaks. The dev environment is quite good for the XT1806 because of its prevalence in the US, however compatability of ROMs with other NFC-enabled variants (such as the XT1805) would be appreciated. Overall, very solid phone and worth it's price tag.
[Moto G5S Plus Real Life Review] itslels:
Just order my 32GB Sanders, Open box from Best Buy, for $212. Its basically new and comes with all accessories, so I couldn't pass up the price. Less than I paid for my G5 Plus! Excited to get it next Tuesday and will post my thoughts on whether it was worth the upgrade over Potter once I receive it.
[Moto G5S Plus Real Life Review] lufusol:
I could only give this phone 4/5 stars.

I'm glad I pre-ordered the phone directly from Motorola because I paid $299 USD for the 64GB US version and received it as soon as available. It seems to be worth more, now.

I'm NOT glad I ordered the phone at all, because despite having very acceptable specs at a good price, the radios seem to work terribly. It's not my area, it's definitely the phone. Both my girlfriend on her Verizon iPhone and me on my previous Virgin Mobile Moto G3 had 4G LTE all the time at home, and most of the time driving around. Occasionally my girlfriend's VZW phone would have service in rural pockets where my VM/Sprint phone lost network, so for the G5S Plus I switched my carrier to Straight Talk with a ST/Verizon SIM.

Since day one, my G5S Plus has NEVER shown full bars, at any service level. Most of the time AT HOME, I have 1 or 2 bars of oldschool 4G (non-LTE) -- occasionally it drops to 2 bars of 3G and most of the time when I'm driving around it's either a low 3G signal or a low 1X signal - even in the middle of Albany, a city well covered by Verizon, there are spots where MY phone drops to 1X! Meanwhile my girlfriend still has 4G LTE on her iPhone.

This is getting to be a real dealbreaker for me. I found a thread someone else posted about having more or less the same problem. He was using Verzion as well, through a different MVNO. Is this phone known to have poor performance when used on Verizon's network? Lemme ask a different question, is this phone known to have GOOD service on ANY particular network? For anyone?? I would love to know what experience the majority of people are having. Maybe another poll...

I've noticed this problem exists regardless of the ROM (tried stock nougat ROM, lineage oreo, gzr validus oreo - all the same result). My guess is the all-metal body wasn't designed with the pre-existing G5 Plus hardware in mind, since the only things they changed are the screen size, cameras and the chassis, maybe they goofed and the radio inside the metal body sucks. Or it's not selecting the proper APN automatically. I suppose there is a small chance it's a software issue which may be addressed with a future radio update, but for now I'm miffed.

I'm glad you got such a good deal. Actually back in September, Amazon had the G5 Plus 64gb (W/OUT ads) for $229 so I bought it. The phone I received worked fine and I don't mind smaller screens, but there was a sort of banding effect in the screen. It was like a transparent layer between the LCD and the backlight where every 10 pixels down, or so, there was a faint line. No matter what was on the screen, I always noticed the banding. I figured it must be a dud so I asked Amazon to send me a replacement. Second G5 Plus looked exactly the same. I returned both. A month later I preordered the G5S Plus and while I know the graphics driver and pixel output are identical to its predecessor, it is a different display panel and this one is flawless.
[Moto G5S Plus Real Life Review] itslels:
So my G5s plus arrived today and I've had a little time with it. Here are my initial thoughts on this as a replacement to my G5 plus.

A lot of people might think it's silly to get the G5s plus if you already own the G5 plus, but I'm glad I did. This phone is what the G5 plus should of been originally. The build quality alone is a nice upgrade. It feels so much nicer and sturdier in the hand. And the buttons feel much nicer when pressed and not mushy at all. I actually love the buttons on this device lol.

The little extra screen space is nice and the panels used in this phone are clearly of better quality then the G5 plus. Battery life seems equal to the G5 plus and the camera, sadly, is about equal too. The camera should of been a bigger improvement and is probably my only complaint. It's still a serviceable camera though.

All this added to the fact that I got it cheaper than I paid for my G5 plus, and it has 1GB more ram, doesn't having me feeling any regrets. This is an amazing phone for $214.
[Moto G5S Plus Real Life Review] stevegtrlmk:
one of the worst phones i have ever bought slow laggy near impossible to restore to stock if you unlock bootloader either keep a rom or throw in a bin avoid the phone and motorolla in general not a good phone
[Moto G5S Plus Real Life Review] pradeeppk:
I realy like this phone . Good battery backup, cant get this much battery backup from any other 3000 mah battery phone i have used. Minimal heat from screen in brightness conditions, only camera is a bit disappointed, compared to my moto x play. Sound clarity is also good.

so how can we pole in starting on those kind of quests
[Moto G5S Plus Real Life Review] jhonnyx1000:
Am going to voice my early opinions. There's a lot of potential for this dev community to grow but there are reasons which lead to the community to stagger.

1. The Moto G5s Plus was released later.

2. It's not cheap so adoption rates will be slower.

3. In NZ, the Moto G5s Plus is hardly available. Only one physical store and the rest online.

4. Everyone already has the Moto G5 Plus.

Expanding on the last point, the late release of this device really hurt its adoption.

I think there could a lot more cross-model compability.

The stock ROM thread for this device is for the XT1806 and flashing it on other models (XT1803, XT1805, etc.) will pose a severe risk that the warranty team won't buy.

Give it a few months and this community will thrive. We'll be seeing our first 64-bit ROM way before Motorola/Lenovo considers it.

Have a nice day :)

It heats too much while charging. Playing any games doesn't seem to affect it much but while charging, the battery temperature soars as high as 42-43.
[Moto G5S Plus Real Life Review] Raj.S:
Only when using it while charging.

[Moto G5S Plus Real Life Review] samrat_castle:
This is issue with all fast charging phones. As there is more power being used while charging these, so they will heat up more.

Here are some tips to prevent overheating on fast charging.

http://www.pcnexus.net/2016/08/how-...to-fast-quick-turbo-charging-android.html?m=1

:)
[Moto G5S Plus Real Life Review] Webern:
Just curious, why would you be worried about how hot the phone gets when charging?
[Moto G5S Plus Real Life Review] tarun0:
Why would one not be?! Overheating can reduce battery life. In the worst case, the battery can even explode.
[Moto G5S Plus Real Life Review] Webern:
If the phone or the battery is faulty, maybe. Do you think your phone/battery are faulty? Or do you think that you're more familiar with how to build a phone/battery and charge it properly than the engineers at Motorola? Otherwise you're just saying "I think my phone gets hot when it charges" which isn't very useful information.
[Moto G5S Plus Real Life Review] tarun0:
That's what I wanted to know myself. I had created a separate thread to ask whether other people's phones are also getting this much hot.

True, I'm nowhere near the experts at Motorola. However, your logic is flawed. If we go by it, there would not have been 'any' need of bug-fixes or updates. Bugs are inevitable and that's the reason developers ask for feedback and bug-reports!

Isn't it exactly what the thread is for? I provided my opnions with a screenshot. How it's being perceived is up to the reader. :)
[Moto G5S Plus Real Life Review] Webern:
To be fair, you started with "it's too hot". Anyway, I'm not here to argue! :) My phone has now turned up and doesn't get all that hot when charging. I'll run it down to 0% and then give it a charge and see if I can get the temperature from the phone. I just took a bunch of test photos, got back from lunch and I now seem to have at least 3 camera-related updates to install so I'll have to shoot a bunch more tomorrow. The camera is by far the worst aspect of this phone which is otherwise very nice indeed!
