    SIM tray at the top now, instead of the side, headphone socket down by the fingerprint reader.

    Seems to be a slender phone. Same battery.

    previous versions had NFC in Europe, I'm sure this one will too.

    I got a G5 because of size and want to update but not G6 so. Will look at other 5in and 5.2in phones.

    I've the G5 Plus and it gets security updates every quarter.

    Still waiting for Oreo, but it's due soon.

    I'd imagine they delayed it until the G6 was released. Moto have officially used G5S 7.0 v G6 8.0 as marketing ploy.

    Not the lack of notch *shudder*

    side bezels look a bit chunky as do the top and bottom.

    just a style thing really, so its all subjective.

    I'm more concerned about how a phone performs rather than how pretty it looks, then again I'm not 16.

    apologies, didn't realize that a budget lenovo phone meant so much to you.

    will you be ok?

    I don't own any lenovo phones at the moment, just find it immature that someone would use looks as a criteria to pick a phone.

    good for you. As I said, it's all subjective.

    Thanks for letting us know your thoughts on criteria for choosing phones. I'll keep it in mind next time I'm buying a phone.

    Can't go wrong with the Moto G phones, they've always been rock solid, almost vanilla android no bloatware, good spec, good design and serious value for money. 25% of the value of the new s9 and if you put them side by side the difference would be minimal.

    wife has a G4 plus and I've a G5 - barely spend 250 between us on the phones

    the G5 is a cracking little phone

    Hard to fault them reallly

    Good to see that finally Moto came to their senses and added a compass to the G6 (according to specs on Amazon UK anyhow).

    That was one of the main negatives I have for my G5.

    Can't find the G6 Plus on Amazon UK. Where's the best place to order one to Ireland?

    According to the Motorola website, the G6 Plus should have a 6GB RAM variant. Has anyone come across any information about this?

    I've been onto Carphone Warehouse here in the UK and they aren't sure if they will be stocking it yet. I haven't been able to find any other information on it.
