It is decent device with many useful features like Knox, Samsung pay etc. Also it will receive android 7 in May for sure. Overall this is a good reliable device.

                        I checked the user reviews of Moto G5 Plus in Amazon. Like usual this device has lots of software issues like earlier moto/Lenevo devices. These issues will be solved when firmware updates will be released in few weeks/months. Overall l think in 6 months it will be a better device.

                        As for Sony device. I have no idea of them as they are very rare product in my area. Last time I checked a Sony device was "Sony Experia M" about few years back. I almost bought it but the screen colour was so dull and call voice quality was pathetic. So, I avoid it and bought my first galaxy device S7392 or Trend. I still have that device in working condition.

                        Overall I advice you to go for A5 (2016), except very very heavy gaming it can handle anything. It looks great, specs is mid range and feature are excellent. Regards.

                          I am looking for a nice and cheap cell phone to buy me and I like this a lot, but I am in doubt among these:

                          Samsung A5 (2016) or Moto G5 plus 3GB memory or Sony xperia M5?

                          What do you recomend me?

                                  Anonymous, 29 Apr 2017A5 2016 or honor 6x pls??You can't compare A5 with H6X. They have different price tags and features. A5 is a premium device with awesome features like Knox, Samsung pay etc. On the other hand 6X cost about half of A5 and has dual back camera. Other than that it is like most of the other device in this range. If you 2antbto compare than choose Honor 6x, LeeCO Le2, Mi Note 4 etc. Regards.

Using it about 8 - 9 months no heat issues and no problems also. The only negative point i give to this phone is the visible scratch only visible by sun hitting the screen, it came like this out of the box : /.
