[Moto G5 Plus Real Life Review] n6bhu:
I've almost always had hand-me-down h/w, and I've become accustomed to it; the probability of failures after a certain point in its lifespan appears to be somewhat diminished.

Case in point: my wife told me I needed to upgrade my phone (and she was right, I'd been using an Alcatel 4060A running Android 5.1 that I'd rooted using TWRP/SuperSU... which was so easy even for a newcomer to Androids, it took me about 12 minutes).

She bought me a refurbished xt1687 G5 Plus, and the first thing I noticed was that this otherwise functionally basic phone had a hemi under the hood (i.e. an impressively powerful proc). Unlike my two previous rootings of TWRP/SuperSU (which also included a Moto X Play xt1563), this time I went with Magisk, and I bailed on the stock ROM.

Which wasn't my intention at first. Marginal rooting instructions at the time left me in TWRP about to reboot, and a message that read: "are you sure you want to reboot without an operating system?" That's when I looked for another ROM and went with Arrow OS 10.

My "new and improved" phone couldn't read the internal storage partition! But overall, I still found it to be a remarkably better phone than stock. I was unable to find any practical information regarding my internal storage, and making the internal storage partition accessible/readable again.

But that problem went away when I flashed Arrow OS 11 'Vanilla' -- and vanilla never tasted so good, so sweet, as it took all the taste of Google out of my mouth.

I'm more than happy with my Moto G5 Plus, it's a hot-rod/sleeper -- and when I'm home I let Asterisk answer both my phones ("Dave's not here, man"). Peace.

For daily use? It's fast and snappy no lag found. I'm not a mobile gamer so can't judge about that.
[Moto G5 Plus Real Life Review] lotos4u:
For daily usage it is perfect. I'm using it during one week - and there were no lags (but I haven't watched The Titanic on it yet )

I have the 2gb variant. Launching apps is very fast but the ram management is terrible but the phone is great!
[Moto G5 Plus Real Life Review] manos78:
I have the 3GB variant, and I agree: "the ram management is terrible".

* 3GB is the minimum for Android 7.0 and up.

* 4GB is great.

* 2GB is a joke!
[Moto G5 Plus Real Life Review] DarthMaul14:
Ikr. I have major regrets getting the 2gb variant. I wish I could have bought the 4gb variant. All my phones until my G5 plus had 1 GB of RAM(multitasking heh having one app open was a pain). So I thought 2gb would be enough because my friend had a Nexus 5x and he had no complaints with the ram management. I'm a heavy user but I love the battery life.
[Moto G5 Plus Real Life Review] DarthMaul14:
You only get this sort of ram management for the first 3 hours when you get your phone and when you don't have any apps installed.

Brazilian version with only 2 gb certainly lacks in this deparment.
[Moto G5 Plus Real Life Review] T3snake:
Pretty smooth and quick in my 4/32gb variant.
[Moto G5 Plus Real Life Review] foxity:
Nothing to complain about, my version is Brazilian with 2GB and Mult-task works fine, it just happens that it closes all open apps if I stop using the device for more than 5 hours, it happens when I'm sleeping.
[Moto G5 Plus Real Life Review] eric.fox:
My BR version 2/32 for now is working fine!! But there are many complaints from other users regarding lockups and crashes programs.
[Moto G5 Plus Real Life Review] adu1982:
Us 2/32 variant (wished I would have gotten the 4) but so far not too bad. Had to replace a 9 month old lg g5 that bootloops when hot.

Might root it if it gets slow but for now it's ok.
[Moto G5 Plus Real Life Review] scuzzo500:
4/64 version running pure nexus. Almost keeps too many apps hibernating. When I pull recent apps list to go back to something else I was doing I have found apps that were active days ago still hibernating. Memory has been stable across both rooms I have used.

[Moto G5 Plus Real Life Review] Ferreira_F10:
I'm coming from a Zenfone 2 Z00A 4gb/32gb. Do you guys think that I will suffer with a 2gb RAM phone (Brazilian model only has 2gb)?

I never leave more than 5 apps in multitasking, and I always close all apps before locking screen (except when I'm listening music on Spotify or using YouTube with background playback).

Just using apps like Telegram, Facebook, Tapatalk, Chrome, YouTube, Spotify, Instagram, Greenify, Lastfm Scroobler and sometimes Netflix, Discord, Google Photos... And rarely playing games, and nothing like Asphalt 8, just more simple games that don't get all my battery. I just want to see no lag in my device while using those apps continuously. What you guys think?
[Moto G5 Plus Real Life Review] joeeboogz:
By closing apps Android actually uses more memory and battery to reopen them I'm using 2 gig variant everything is smooth so no worries also look for alternatives to heavy apps like facebook metal is great and u can theme it

Coming from a Nexus 6 (which had a Snapdragon 8xx or something), it's been great having the G5 Plus with it's slower-more-efficient processor. My favorite games (DomiNations) used to heat up my Nexus 6 like crazy. I never notice heat for my G5 Plus.
[Moto G5 Plus Real Life Review] Jimisballjohn:
When on Android Auto with Spotify and Google Maps running, I get some heat on the back of my Moto
[Moto G5 Plus Real Life Review] MrBelter:
My Moto X Play got really hot once it was doing something but my Moto G5 Plus no matter what it is doing it just never get hot, it may feel slightly warmer occasionally but that's about it.
[Moto G5 Plus Real Life Review] adu1982:
Same here one of the best things I've noticed first. The LG g5 heated up like crazy....probably what caused it's demise.
[Moto G5 Plus Real Life Review] sachin09:
Guys my moto g5 plus temperature is somewhere between 33 to 36 on normal usage and standby , it feels warm.

does anyone feels the same?
[Moto G5 Plus Real Life Review] acejavelin:
Completely normal, unless the ambient temp is 10C or something... I haven't seen temps get above 40C ever on this device, but won't be concerned until close to 50C.

More of marketing gimmick. Good hardware but worst software. Chinese developers don't know how to code. Lenovo killed the Moto brand
[Moto G5 Plus Real Life Review] Mrkblo:
The camera is poor. I have no Idea why is there so many people defending the camera on this device, but it's nothing special.
[Moto G5 Plus Real Life Review] Developer Anindya:
It is advisable for you to stop posting on this forum coz you don't own a moto g5 plus which is clearly visible in your profile.

Camera is the main highly of the phone. ?
[Moto G5 Plus Real Life Review] Mrkblo:
What are you talking about? I'm writing this from my Moto G5 plus. Just because you disagree with me it doesn't mean that I'm not allowed to post here. In my opinion the camera is nothing special, even my old galaxy s4 and Lumia 730 are able to get some better snaps in good lighting conditions.
[Moto G5 Plus Real Life Review] waingro808:
Low light is bad compared to 2016 flagships. I just tested with my S7 and it kills the G5 Plus. If camera is most important to you, I recommend getting a used S7 for about the same price. Good lighting is fine.
[Moto G5 Plus Real Life Review] ehbm:
I really like the G5 plus camera, compared to my old phones (Xperia z3 compact, moto g4 plus, nexus 4 and others) I think it's a really good camera for its price range. And I don't even tried to unlock the boot loader and use the hdr+ Google camera, thats looks even better on snaps.
[Moto G5 Plus Real Life Review] DanielBeaver:
The camera is okay. I take lots of pictures with it, they look fine.

When I really care about the picture looking nice, if I'm with other people, if those people have a modern flagship phone, I'll ask them to take the picture. And those pictures look significantly better.
[Moto G5 Plus Real Life Review] Dishe:
Google's hdr+ really helps in low light too. Stock rom, using the 32-bit apk found in a thread here with camera2 API enabled via build.prop.

This is more light than I could see with my own eyes, alley building lights in the distance only. Forget S7, this rivals low light on my $2500 Sony A7s!
[Moto G5 Plus Real Life Review] pradsngh523:
Where can you get a used s7 for same price.???
[Moto G5 Plus Real Life Review] waingro808:
Ebay, Craigslist, and Swappa if you're in the USA.
[Moto G5 Plus Real Life Review] ugupta100:
Coming from moto e 1st gen which i bought for Rs 7000 in 2014. This phone has a pretty good camera at this price point considering that i bought it for Rs 10000. And i love the professional mode in this camera. You just have to know how to use the camera for good shots. It would be great to have Raw support in stock camera. But i love it.

Some samples.
[Moto G5 Plus Real Life Review] pradsngh523:
I personally think moto did an awful work with this camera, even my 2015 nexus 5 beats it anytime its pitted against it.
[Moto G5 Plus Real Life Review] Dishe:
Moto did screw it up with their processing of the image. But turn it off by applying the chromatix mod and extend your DR with the Google Camera from defcomg/savitar, and the pics coming off of this are actually pretty amazing.
[Moto G5 Plus Real Life Review] pradsngh523:
Actually im waiting for moto to provide oreo stock ota. hopefully they will also release stable 64bit sources also as oreo only support 32 bit kernel sources as of now. If not i gues that is the final choice i have. Untill that I'm struck on good ol nexus 5. low light images on nexus 5 are just sweet despite having f2.4 camera.

Thanks dude
[Moto G5 Plus Real Life Review] dollarpapa:
Any of you tried the new cam update on the G5Plus? I think it's great! I have the S7 edge and took pictures with both phones of the same thing. Then as they uploaded to Google photos, I had a hard time distinguish which is which without looking at the info. Moto G5Plus in low light. Ignore the mess, I'm before moving. I did not selectively focused just point and shoot. Look at the sharpness on the books and the glass bunny. These pics were made near midnight with only floor lamps farther away.
[Moto G5 Plus Real Life Review] Dishe:
Glad they've been improving the stock shooter! I noticed an update, but for some reason the new app is having trouble with video recording so I might go back. Google Camera running on here has been blowing everything else out of the water, but those shots are very respectable.
[Moto G5 Plus Real Life Review] wastedige:
In your shots I still notice the overly aggressive noise reduction resulting in fake-looking colors
[Moto G5 Plus Real Life Review] NeoandGeo:
I have noticed quite a bit of yellow lately in pictures taken with the flash. The pic looks good for a split second on the screen itself, very vibrant with a normal color temperature, but the saved product is very yellow, like the camera doesn't choose the right time to actually save the snapped image. Anyone else suffering from this?

This happens across all custom and stock ROM variants. Yet I did not have this issue before about a month ago.
[Moto G5 Plus Real Life Review] xxqqzzaa:
the camera is only okay.

my previous phone i had was note 4 and while this phone has several good features, camera is not one of them.

my note 4 could take amazing photo & video at any given moment and my g5+ can only take good photos on certain conditions.

on low light, its absolute garbage. i can enable some hdr settings to get more lights in, but you cant see anything on video.
[Moto G5 Plus Real Life Review] mkyadav42:

Again, nothing special. The slow motion feature and 4k recording are definitely pluses, but the camera adjusts focus several times during recordings, which is quite annoying.
[Moto G5 Plus Real Life Review] Developer Anindya:
So did you wanted a camera which wouldn't focus...???
[Moto G5 Plus Real Life Review] Mrkblo:
I wanted a camera that wouldn't lose focus every 3 seconds with the adjustments being clearly visible in the final recording. Jesus Christ dude, stop being such a fan boy.
[Moto G5 Plus Real Life Review] Developer Anindya:
U are being a critic that too with no reason, it doesn't loose focus in every 3 second ,it is because of your shaky hands or maybe moving objects or multiple objects of different distance in the frame.

From my opinion camera video done exceptionally well,and the 4k is bonus

I've been very happy with the camera speed. You can take pictures very quickly. I enabled both the power-button-double-click to launch the camera, and the flick-your-wrists-twice to launch. Both work very well.

Burst mode works very well. The slow-motion camera is great (although it seems to truncate the first second or so).

I have not been able to use my G5 Plus enough to kill the battery. I've gotten to about 5 hours a couple of times with at least 40% remaining. My Pixel would be down to 40% before 2.5 hours.

It's depend on how we use, when we play the game the sot decrease and when we use simple video play like each movie offline the sot is high.

Amazed myself. Couldn't believe it. There are so many things that this phone does better than my lg g5, my dad s7, or the iPhone 6 it's crazy. My lg g5 would be dead by the end of the day when I pulled a 14hr day at work (in our hub 5-7 hr screen off YouTube red, than 5-7 hrs of screen on, maps,GPS , googling while driving around). Got home at 7 pm Friday with 40% (I did a top up charge mid day from maybe 65ish to 90ish.....) But still.....

I am once again impressed. Excellent phone. Wish I would have researched phones ...which I will do from now on. Could have bought another Moto with the money I spent on my lg g5 (extra battery, power button, etc)
