£180 for 3GB version for £160 for 2GB Version. I presume Id be mad not to get the 3GB version?

Bonjour · 27 Mar 2017 at 17:08

I'd recommend going for the 3GB.

Bonjour · 28 Mar 2017 at 08:25

It appears Amazon have sold out of the Lunar Grey (3GB). Currently displaying an 8-9 day lead time.

LupoLover · 28 Mar 2017 at 08:37

Yeah I ordered one anyway and lets just see when I get it.

SoliD · 28 Mar 2017 at 22:07

Ordered one last night and it said we 10th but I'll get it between 3rd and 5th according to email received today.

Always been happy with my G4, will look at the G5 when my contract is up, subject to reviews. I have no need of a S7 like my wife.

Seems like Amazon have the G5 3Gb version back in stock.

Just ordered one and it's stating delivery either tonight or tomorrow.

What am I actually likely to miss by going for a G5 rather than a G5 Plus?

Been awaiting a new phone for a few months now and not sure I can wait much longer for a G5 Plus with more than 2GB..

Still no NFC

hmm i saw few quotes to say that EU market will have it while USA will lack the NFC ....so who is right?

Sp00n · 29 Mar 2017 at 13:51

Yea I don't know, no NFC will be a deal breaker.

Sp00n · 29 Mar 2017 at 13:55

So the plus gets it, the non-plus doesn't, lame.

/\ndy · 29 Mar 2017 at 15:57

Says that the plus is exclusive at cpw? But their specs say only 2gb ram?

Dam. Wonder when I will get mine. Does that mean I might get mine tomorrow?

SoliD · 29 Mar 2017 at 18:00

From what I've read the plus is US only.

And Asia. Best selling phone in India.

It will come out over here. G5 is enough for me, though.

LupoLover · 30 Mar 2017 at 13:24

Just been told I wont get mine till 1st-4th from Amazon even tho yesterday said I would get today.

Phil87 · 30 Mar 2017 at 15:59

I'm very tempted by the G5 3GB, currently have the G3 and had a 1st gen Moto E before that, very happy with both.

Can any owners confirm whether the UK model has a compass sensor and / or NFC? The compass is something I really want - anyone who has tried to use Google Maps in an unfamiliar place will know how difficult it can be to find your way when you don't know which direction to walk in. NFC would be a nice feature but is not a deal breaker until we can pay for everything with contactless payments.
