...it's been on there for a week or so, but "out of stock" (i.e. pre-release).
Just checked back given your question, and bingo, it is available (I'm considering one myself).

...that may well do for your daughter, but for clarity note that it is the 5S mentioned by EIII, and not the 5S Plus as per your OP. |

Other than size is there much difference between the G5S and G5S Plus?

Other than size is there much difference between the G5S and G5S Plus? ..size, faster processor, different camera(s) -- but in real life, not much. For Otto: There are listings on Amazon for the G5 Plus, but Amazon itself lists it as pre-release, and if you check the native (non-Amazon) sites of the listers who are offering it, it doesn't appear. My suspicion is it will be a matter of a few days before it is generally available - if you really want it, it may be worthwhile "going to the wire" in waiting. |

I have bought a WileyFox Swift 2X for £165 from Amazon. At this price it appears to offer a similar spec (in terms of processor speed, RAM and ROM) to the Moto but has the benefit of NFC and the dual SIM tray has space for Micro and Nano SIMs, which suits me. The Moto doesn't have NFC and both SIM slots are nano sized.
However even if I bought the Moto as well, the combined price is still a huge saving over a top spec Samsung. Will let you have my views when the thing arrives tomorrow.

ThE Moto G5S Plus has NFC. One of the differences.

Oops so it does. Missed that.
I am. Interested to see the difference between USB 2.0 and 3.0. I know 3.0 has a different symmetrical plug and is meant to be faster. Will I cope with various devices using different leads. It's bad enough having Apple cables around the house..

The only time you need to worry is if you want full USB3 benefits, and you'll need to be USB3 at both ends for that to work, otherwise it will default to USB 2 |

The only time you need to worry is if you want full USB3 benefits, and you'll need to be USB3 at both ends for that to work, otherwise it will default to USB 2 ....I think there's a bit of conflating of USB protocols and USB connectors going on here. AIUI EIII's new 'phone comes with a (relatively new) USB Type-C connector; symmetrical, and through which (depending on the implementation, the cable and the device it is connected to) can be delivered various functions such as USB up to 3.1, audio connection, fast charging, etc. I haven't, so far, come up against Type-C connectivity, but from previous reading (and I may well be wrong and I'm entirely prepared to be gainsaid ) I thought that the standard Type-C cable was delivered with a Type-C plug on either end (making both the cable and the plugs symmetrical - It certainly can be used for both host and slave connectivity). This would require a charging unit with Type-C connectivity (or hardwired), or a USB-A plug to USB-C socket convertor or maybe they supply USB-a plug to USB-C plug cable (both of the latter being in existence). I'd be interested to see just what EIII gets in this respect, and how easy it is to charge from non-Type-C sources, and/or how easy to connect to a USB-A equipped PC. |

Ah didn't know it had a c, thought it was a micro B. I can't see how having a C on both ends of the cable is workable, I thought C was only on end, otherwise there is nothing to plug it into. All PC type hardware has USB 3 type A (tho my newly built pc does have one C on the back,) |
