No cons for me
My original phone was a Nexus 5x, absolutely loved this phone and got very spoiled by the quick updates and stock Android, but only had 16 GB of storage and the Nougat update pretty much took up all the space, so sold it and tried a Zte Axon 7 mini (had a few issues and definitely no 5x in the software dept), Moto X pure (solid phone but I broke the screen) Honor 5x (work well at first but again software problems later). Now with all that said, it would be logical for me to find something that was as zippy as my Nexus with more storage and stock Android. Which brings us to the Motot G Plus an answer to my needs with a fantastic price tag, sure there are cons that some reviewers are crying about such as ads, speaker not as loud as an iPhone 7 (really??? lol) and having to tap the fingerprint twice to wake. Now these may be deal breakers for some but not I, and more focus on a phone that just got released with no major bugs, very good performance and battery life, at least in my case, I stream music during bike rides 2-4 hours, use google maps, bike app, 2-3 calls per day and still have around 70% at 10pm, and more bells and whistles such as gorgeous screen, outstanding camera (despite some other reviews who state picture quality is bad? maybe they are professional photographers or all comparing it to iPhones 7's ?).
In a nut shell this phone is perfect for budget conscious consumer who do not need 70 fps on the latest crappy shooter and is the perfect replacement for my Nexus 5x atm:)
UPDATE: Forgot to to mention that I have a Pebbles smart watch and Mpow Cheetah Bluetooth headphones, which cuts off the time when riding or running on both the Nexus 5x and Honor 5x, I thought it was just a sub-par antenna in the headphones, since it sold so cheap, but not the case, Moto G5 Plus uses Bluetooth version 4.2 and plays without any interruptions on those headphones. I also wanted to mention that I have a smartwatch connected without any issues.
