Any negatives to purchasing this from Amazon.it? Any extra steps required on receipt of the phone?

2 prong charger, that's about it. My phone arrived with the dialogues in English, whereas a Samsung I purchased from Amazon.de, years back, would start up in German..

The camera is very mediocre, just so you know.. as far as I can tell, Lenovo have actually removed features since the phone's release. There was an option for slow motion video, but I think that's gone, along with some tweaking dials.

Thanks, I haven't done enough research on the phone yet, I was under the impression the camera was good, I'll research some more

Anyone able to order off o2 UK for Moto g5. I can't put it my parcel motel address and it won't recognise it even when i put in postcode.

Has anyone sourced an IE/UK charger for the Moto G5S/Moto G5S Plus?

Amalgam

..for non Turbo charging, any micro USB charger will do, charge time will depend on the amperage of the charger.

Turbo charging, I would pick an Anker Quick charge 3.0 USB plug charger, for just over £10, or an Aukey branded charger, for about £8, from amazon.co.uk.

Anyone experience dust issues in the camera lens of the g5s plus?

So the g5s plus doesn't allow dual SIM with an SD card, but t g5 plus does allow dual SIM with an SD card...
Very disappointed with the g5s plus for that. A step backwards!!

Canceled my g5s plus order from Amazon.itand opted with eglobal as it's cheaper and my Amazon order was going nowhere in 4 days. Didn't even take my money. Hopefully I get it before Christmas as it's s gift

Ordered off Amazon.it week last Monday, got email yesterday saying they are waiting for stock (presumed delivery date was today) - really pissed off, should have said at the time they were not in stock. Cancelled order.

Any recommendations for a leather flip case for the g5s plus.

Yup, really annoying, wanted something before Xmas and they waited 10 days nearly to tell me they don't have it. Really pissed me off
Time of year my ass, they were looking for pre-order stock to get better price
They're loss, gonna go for the Xiaomi 5s as soon as it's in stock in Europe
Any one got good reviews of it, looks nice spec phone for the price?

I'm still on "packing and delivering soon" with eglobalcentral. Anyone else having the same issue? It's a Christmas present so should I cancel yet guys? They already too long the money.

Ordered a Blush Gold G5s plus from eglobal on Dec 4th and it arrived yesterday, that's the 3rd item I've ordered from eglobal and all arrived without a problem.

My eglobal order came for a g5s plus. Gift for someone so I naturally had to open it to see if all is well :P for €220ish, it seems a decent phone. I'm used to the S8 dimensions so the Moto feels so fat in width.

For anyone with the G5s, whats the camera like? Is it quick?

Thanks

I have a G5S+ from eglobal. It came the other day and have had a change of mind for a gift. I'll be getting her a Samsung S8 instead.

The phone was opened and turned on once to have a sneaky go at it as I'm a tech geek then factory reset and out back in the box up until now.

Does anyone want it for €210 before I request a refund from eglobal? It can save us both effort and waiting time.

I'm located in Dublin 12. Willing to post at buyers expense. I'll likely be shipping it back to them mid next week if nobody is interested.

Sorry, looking at the S rather than S plus myself.

I'd be interested if could arrange something today. PM'd

I'd take it off your hands if it's still available. I'll pm you my details

I ordered 2 G5S off Amazon on Nov 24th. With no delivery date I got on to customer service. They told me to cancel that order and re-order but phone had gone up by £40 each. They gave me a £150 giftcard for inconvenience.
Last week still no despatch so ordered off Tesco as well as they were Xmas presents. Amazon and Tesco phones arrived last Friday. Returning Tesco phone as almost €200 more than i paid Amazon.
Tesco return process is such a pain compared to Amazon. In the end it cost me €355 for 2 phones.

Dual sim means to can put in and use two sim cards. Single sim means you can only put in one and use one.

An example would be you can have a three sim card and a vodaphone sim card and use both networks.
