Moto G 5th Generation

Anyone in the UK selling the 4gb plus?

No compass which is a bit annoying on the g4

Did you mean G5? And when you say there's no compass, if you go into Google Maps and rotate the phone, is there nothing to indicate the direction you're looking in? Even on my G3 it clearly has a compass because Google Maps knows which way I'm looking when navigating. If the G5 doesn't have that then I won't even consider it.

Would an iPhone 6 be better than this phone? Supposed to be buying my bros iP6 off him for £140 but could well stretch to £170 for this as I wanted to stick with Android and need a phone asap (have to wait 10 days for his to be sim unlocked by EE!)

CPW's G5 plus is only 2GB RAM. https://www.carphonewarehouse.com/m...city=32GB&dealType=sf&tabID=specificationData

I am sad.

Doubtful these will ever get VoLTE or WiFi Calling either.

I'm liking the fresh Moto G modernize - the inexpensive phone to have it.

Just a 5.2" screen I think its little short, besides it's upright.

Any hint of rate?

That is disappointing

I thought I'd better check out the G5, ordered from Amazon at about 11am, delivered around 6:20pm!

Yeah the G4 doesn't have it. You have to move a certain distance before it knows which direction your moving in. Complete pain when leaving somewhere you often turn the wrong why before it corrects itself. On GSM arena is suggests the G5 does have it.

Have a G3 and it does have a compass yes. I have no idea why they'd not have it on the G4.

Apparently in the US the G5 has a compass but no NFC and in Europe (UK) it's the other way around.

I'd love to know who makes this insane decisions. What about the G5 Plus

My Moto G5...

No compass? That's no good

My Moto G5...

Thats odd, ignore that initial message and go into the sensors option..

 

[Dazstoke]

Just because it has GPS doesn't mean it has a compass does it ?
Strangely enough I didn't think my SU6 had a compass until 5 minutes ago when I opened Google maps and a compass calibration screen came up.
I wonder if that's as a result of the update to Marshmallow recently

 

[OspreyO]

GPS isn't the same as Compass.

GSM Arena suggests the both G5s have a compass.

[Phil87]

If anyone can check if the G5 Plus has a compass I might consider that, and it's probably worth the extra £70 or so for the NFC and other improvements.

Has anyone managed the remove the Google search bar from the home screen? I disabled the Google app but it then just fills the void with a blank search bar which does nothing.
