The Moto G5 Plus does a good job overall, but there are places where the trade-off between price and features shows. If you long press, you lock the phone and if you tap and hold, Google Assistant pops up. If you swipe left, it shows your recent apps. Once you turn it on in the Moto app, tapping the fingerprint sensor brings you home. But Motorola did something really cool: it added a handful of shortcut gestures that turn the fingerprint sensor into a mini touchpad, a feature it calls One Button Nav. It's on the front below the display and works as well as Apple's Touch ID on the iPhone. One of my favorite features is the G5 Plus' fingerprint sensor. The dual-SIM option on Moto G5 Plus is only available in select regions globally in Latin America, Europe and Asia. It's worth checking compatibility with your carrier if you're unsure. Since the G5 Plus is a universally unlocked phone, it will work on all major US and UK carriers. Motorola hasn't yet announced an Australian model, but the US price converts to AU$300 and AU$390. Each model differs slightly when it comes to storage, RAM and NFC. FYI, in 2020 there's now both the Moto G Stylus and Moto G Power as budget Moto options. But even if it were, the G5 Plus would be the better value. The G5 isn't offered everywhere, for example it won't be sold in the US. Both phones have a similar metal body design, but the G5 has a smaller screen, half the storage and a weaker processor.
